Breeze Universal Spring-Loaded T-Bolt Clamp for 3.5" ID Hose (B9226-0350B)
Description
When you're sealing large intercooler boots, charge pipes, or heavy-duty coolant hoses, you need a clamp that can keep up with temperature changes and boost pressure.
The Breeze B9226-0350B Spring-Loaded T-Bolt Clamp is engineered to provide consistent, leak-free sealing on 3.5-inch inside diameter silicone and reinforced rubber hose. Unlike conventional worm gear clamps, its constant-tension spring automatically compensates for hose expansion and contraction during repeated heat cycles, helping maintain a secure seal under demanding operating conditions.
Manufactured by Breeze (Norma Group), this clamp features a 300-series stainless steel band, floating bridge construction, and a spring-loaded T-bolt that delivers superior clamping force and long-term durability for automotive, diesel, industrial, and marine applications.
Whether you're installing intercooler piping, turbocharger plumbing, charge air tubing, or one of Glacier Diesel Power's performance products, this clamp is built to keep your system sealed under pressure.
Features

- Helps maintain consistent sealing through heat cycles
- Ideal for silicone and reinforced rubber hoses
- Sold individually
Why Choose a Spring-Loaded T-Bolt Clamp?
Traditional worm gear clamps apply a fixed amount of clamping force. As silicone hoses expand and contract with changing temperatures, that force can decrease, increasing the chance of boost or coolant leaks.
The Breeze spring-loaded design automatically maintains clamping pressure throughout thermal expansion and contraction, providing a more reliable seal without frequent retightening.
Benefits include:
- Constant clamping force
- Reduced boost leaks
- Improved sealing during temperature changes
- Less hose damage from overtightening
- Excellent vibration resistance
Glacier Tech Tip
For high-performance diesel applications, constant-tension T-bolt clamps are strongly recommended over standard worm gear clamps.
For the best fit, measure the hose's outside diameter (OD) after it has been installed on the pipe, not just the hose's inside diameter. Silicone hose wall thickness varies between manufacturers, and selecting the clamp based on the installed OD helps ensure proper clamping force and minimizes the risk of leaks.
Why Breeze?
Breeze, a Norma Group company, has been manufacturing premium hose clamps for decades and is trusted throughout the automotive, heavy-duty truck, industrial, and marine industries.
Their spring-loaded T-bolt clamps are engineered to SAE J1508 Type SLTB standards and utilize a floating bridge design that distributes clamping force evenly while maintaining constant tension through repeated heating and cooling cycles.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Breeze (Norma Group)
- Part Number: B9226-0350B
- Fits: 3.5" ID Hose
- Clamp Diameter Range:
- Minimum: 3.44" (87.3 mm)
- Maximum: 3.75" (95.3 mm)
- Band Material: 300-Series Stainless Steel
- Band Width: 3/4"
- Spring-Loaded Constant Tension Design
- Floating Bridge Construction
- SAE J1508 Type SLTB
Applications
Ideal for:
- Intercooler piping
- Charge air systems
- Turbocharger plumbing
- Radiator and coolant hoses
- Performance diesel applications
- Industrial hose connections
- Marine cooling systems
- Glacier Diesel Power silicone hose kits
Important Notes
- Sold individually.
- Price is for one clamp.
- Designed for 3.5-inch ID hose.
- Measure your hose's outside diameter (OD) after installation to verify proper clamp sizing.
- Not all 3.5-inch hoses have the same outside diameter depending on wall thickness.
- Tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.
Common Failure Point
A common cause of boost leaks is using a clamp that cannot maintain consistent tension as silicone hoses expand and contract with temperature changes. Traditional worm gear clamps often require periodic retightening and can create uneven clamping pressure.
The Breeze spring-loaded T-bolt clamp automatically compensates for thermal expansion, providing a more consistent seal while reducing stress on the hose and connection.
