6 in dust collection hose clamps

[weelis]

Am reworking my 6in dust collection system and am in need of 6in round spring load quick release squeeze hose clamps. Can find 4 in but no 6 in. Anyone have a source? Thanx.

Hi

I am just finishing up installing my system, I needed some 10". I got them from McMaster, here is link. They come in packs. Watch the price sometimes buying a common size that is larger is less than the size you want. I purchased the 2 - 12 1/4 size. I trim them to the size I want. Great source for lots of stuff.

Where I live if I order before 1 I get it by 3 the next day. I usually order other items to offset shipping, but shipping is not that bad

I have not had any luck finding 6" QR clamps either, just 2.5" or 4".

Here's an idea that I have not tried but should work:

I have always used these wire clamps for 6" flexible Duct. I used to get them from Redmond Machinery for about $1 each, but you might want to search for other sources as they do not carry them any more.

They are a bit more expensive, but I got mine from Wynn Environmental. They are bridge-style clamps that work extremely well:
