Constant Tension Clamps for SolarRoll

[Deleted User]

We're rebuilding a delicate system and my partner said he thought he'd seen some constant tension clamps available on some newer Solaroll systems.

Any one know of a source of supply?

TIA

Some ideas

Here is my solar roll assault package

I use the brass couplings found at auto parts stores. They also have these nylon ratchet type clamps. They have some spring to them, much more so than a basic stainless steel hose clamp. At system pressures below 15 psi these have worked fine for me.

The black spring clamp is an old Heatway Twintran clamp. May be hard to come by. How many do you need?

The large stainless is a current Watts Radiant offering for constant tension. Obviously for 1" tube They may have a lead for small diameter versions.

Playing with fire working on those old "roll" systems, aren't you!

Mark,

What size tubing are you working with? I have some for 3/4" heatway.

I have a few of the old clamps and inserts of the old 1/4" soloroll tubing, but not sure I want to part with them. Regretfully I know I will need them someday. I know there are at least a dozen places with that junk around here.
