9N1941, 9N-1941 CLAMP V CATERPILLAR

Description

The Caterpillar 9N1941 clamp is a fitting that secures a hose, pipe or component in the exhaust and emission system. It is also written 9N-1941. It holds a joint or line tight so it does not work loose or move. What this kind of clamp does A clamp secures a hose, pipe or component and keeps the joint tight. Clamping force, band width and liner type are matched to the joint, so the clamp type matters as much as the size. How clamps wear Clamping force drops after vibration and repeated heating and cooling. The band corrodes and can fracture. A wrong-type or over-tightened clamp can cut into the hose or pipe it holds. A missing clamp leaves the line free to chafe. When to replace it Replace the clamp if the band is corroded, cracked or no longer holds the joint tight. Renew a corroded band rather than tightening it again. Re-torque after the first heat cycles where the joint type calls for it. Use the clamp type specified for the joint, because a worm clamp is not a V-band. Send us the number from your old clamp and we will match it against 9N1941.
