Radiator hose clamps. Spring type vs screw type clamps

I have a new radiator so I’m also going to change out the hoses. I think they come stock with spring clamps. Previous owner has changed to screw type.
I tend to believe the engineers are smarter than me. So, is there any advantage to staying with the screw type clamps?

 

I’ve heard the spring clamps are more consistent, can’t be over tightened and handle temperature cycles better over the long run. It’s what I prefer to use, less of a pain to take off.

 

When the hose is new and fresh....dont think it matters....

when the hose ages/hardens.......both clamps have their own problems....

 

OEM spring clamps are fantastic if you have the choice. Stay away from any aftermarket spring clamps.

Screw clamps are not created equal. The cheap ones will strip out and apply uneven pressure. There are nicer types that overlap and don't chew into the rubber, they work really well. There is also the type on the intake boots that is more like a wire and these work well.

 

I look at it this way, if you have to change a hose on the side of the road you can always come up with a screwdriver, spring clamp pliers, not so sure on that.

 

Just get constant tension clamps

They're great and affordable

 

I used spring clamps for liquid and spring or screw for air.

 

You must not have had to deal with many engineers in your case.

Time is money who wants to mess with screw type clamps on the assembly line .

That is the only reason they are used from the factory.

Yes they work good I would not waste time tracking them down if I see them unused they follow me home.

 

The name says it all......constant.....pressure....clamp, I do not have a screw clamp anywhere on my truck, i thought they were for garden hoses or lawn mower fuel lines, but i'm not an automotive mechanic.

 

Screw type clamps are easier to find in stainless steel. That reason alone is enough for me to choose screw type clamps.

 

Looks like the constant tension clamps are what I was referring to as spring clamps.
Good, that’s what I installed.. thanks you the suggestions
