DESCRIPTION

Stainless steel V band clamp, 14 sizes

Which stainless steel V band clamp size fits my flanges?

This stainless steel V band clamp comes in fourteen sizes from 1.5 inch to 6.0 inch, so one listing covers a small wastegate dump tube, a 3 inch downpipe and a 6 inch diesel exhaust. Every size is the clamp only: buyers who already have flanges welded on, need a spare, or are replacing a clamp that was cut off with a grinder pick a size and a pack quantity and are done.

The size guide below converts each inch size to millimeters, the number calipers actually show.

How to measure for a V band clamp in four steps

Measure the pipe OD

Close calipers on the tube right next to the flange. Measure the tube, not the clamp or flange lip.

Match the size

Find the nearest value in the size chart. 63.5 mm is 2.5 inch, 101.6 mm is 4.0 inch.

Confirm the flanges

The clamp is made for EVIL ENERGY V band flanges of the same nominal size.

Count the joints

One clamp per joint. A removable section usually needs two; a full turbo-back may need four.

1.5 inch stainless steel V band clamp joining a flange to pipe

Small-diameter stainless V band clamp for 1.5 inch flanges

The smallest 1.5 inch V band clamp joins a 1.5 inch ID flange to 1.5 inch pipe, a size used on wastegate dump tubes, breather lines and compact intake runs. Larger sizes follow the same design, only the diameter changes.

Stainless steel clamp band and chromium molybdenum T-bolt of V band clamp

Stainless band, chromium-molybdenum steel T-bolt

The band is stainless steel all the way through, which keeps the stainless V band clamp from rusting at the spot welds the way plated steel clamps can on salted winter roads. The T-bolt is chromium-molybdenum steel for thread strength.

Stainless V band clamp with T-bolt and nut, flanges not included

Clamp only: flanges are not included

The listing ships the clamp, T-bolt and nut. Flanges are a separate purchase, which keeps the cost down when the welded flanges are still in good shape. For a complete joint, the V band clamp with 304 stainless flanges includes both flanges in the same 1.5 to 6.0 inch range.

V band clamp feature showing even pressure on flange without gasket

Even pressure around the whole flange

The tapered V profile pushes on the backs of both flanges at every point around the circle, so the clamping force is the same at the top of the joint as beside the T-bolt. That even load is why V band joints seal without a gasket.

How the stainless V band clamp installs

Installing a stainless steel V band clamp over two flanges in three steps

Push the flanges together, slip the open band over both lips, then close and tighten the T-bolt. Tap around the band with a soft mallet between passes so the retainer seats evenly before the final tightening.

Stainless V band clamp on exhaust, turbocharger, downpipe and muffler

Exhaust, turbo, downpipe and muffler joints

The same stainless clamp works on any steel or stainless V band joint: downpipe to mid-pipe, muffler sections, exhaust cutouts and test pipes. Aluminum charge pipes with O-ring flanges use the aluminum intercooler V band clamp instead.

Fourteen sizes from 1.5 inch to 6.0 inch

V band clamp sizes from 1.5 inch to 6.0 inch

Large-diameter clamps such as the 5 inch V band clamp and 6 inch V band clamp suit diesel and big-turbo exhaust, while 2.35 inch fits 60 mm metric tubing and 3.25 inch fills the gap between 3.0 and 3.5 inch builds.

V band clamp kits with male and female flanges

Need flanges and a clamp in one order?

Clamp-and-flange kits come in stainless steel and mild steel, with standard or latch-style T-bolts, for new exhaust joints and complete builds.

FAQS

Q: How do I measure for a stainless steel V band clamp?

A: You can measure the outside diameter of the tube next to the flange with calipers and match that number to the size chart: 50.8 mm is 2.0 inch, 76.2 mm is 3.0 inch, 127 mm is 5.0 inch. V band clamps are named after the pipe size, so measuring the clamp or the flange lip gives a larger number than the size to order.

Q: Are V band clamp sizes the clamp diameter or the pipe diameter?

A: The pipe diameter. A 3.0 inch V band clamp fits flanges made for 3.0 inch OD tubing, and the clamp itself measures noticeably larger across.

Q: Is the 2.35 inch stainless V band clamp meant for 60 mm tubing?

A: Yes. 2.35 inches is 59.7 mm, so the 2.35 inch size lines up with 60 mm metric tubing common on imported turbo kits. Measure first: 2.25 inch tubing reads 57.2 mm and 2.5 inch reads 63.5 mm.

Q: Does the stainless V band clamp fit a 5 inch or 6 inch diesel exhaust?

A: The 5.0 and 6.0 inch clamps fit pipe-to-pipe joints that use EVIL ENERGY 5.0 or 6.0 inch V band flanges. Factory turbo outlet clamps on diesel trucks follow the turbo maker's profile and size, so measure the factory flange before replacing that clamp.

Q: Can the stainless steel V band clamp be used on intake or intercooler piping?

A: Yes, on intake joints that use steel or stainless V band flanges. Aluminum charge pipes with O-ring flanges need the matching aluminum clamp.

Q: Why buy the 4-pack of stainless V band clamps?

A: A turbo-back or cat-back with several removable sections can have four joints. The 4-pack covers a full build in one size, and any leftover clamp becomes a spare.

Q: Is the T-bolt on the stainless V band clamp also stainless?

A: No. The band is stainless steel and the T-bolt is chromium-molybdenum steel, chosen for thread strength. High-temperature anti-seize on the threads keeps the nut easy to remove.

Q: Does a 3.25 inch V band clamp exist for 3.25 inch tubing?

A: Yes. 3.25 inch is one of the fourteen sizes. It fits flanges made for 3.25 inch (82.6 mm) OD pipe.

Q: Why is the stainless V band clamp sold without flanges?

A: Most clamp-only buyers already have flanges welded on and only need a new or spare clamp. Selling the clamp alone avoids paying for flanges that would sit unused.

Q: How many V band clamps does a downpipe usually need?

A: One clamp per V band joint. A downpipe often has one V band joint at the mid-pipe and sometimes a second at a removable test pipe or cat section. The turbo outlet joint usually uses a clamp made for that turbo's flange.
