SS Hose Clamp size chart

From DeLorean Auto Parts, Inc. via Google Images

Lowes has 'em by the number like that, but they don't have #6. My local True Value has the #6, but by size, not by the number.

I like #8 for a typical garden hose end repair. You get too much ss "tail" sticking past the screw if you use the one that comes with the fitting.

NAPA, anyway the NAPA near me, has SS Hose Clamps right on the counter. #4s and #6s, no #8s, but #10s and #12s. And bigger (for radiator hoses). Today, $1.49 apiece before discount.

A page from Dixon, manufacturers of zinc-plated hose clamps:

The page shows min and max hose OD for different size clamps.
