Product Specifications

Softub Compatibility

This replacement clamp is intended for Softub plumbing connections requiring part #4608, previously identified as #5052.

Before ordering, confirm:

• Your existing clamp matches part #4608 or previous reference #5052.

When Should You Replace a Softub Hose Clamp?

Consider replacing your hose clamp if:

• The clamp is cracked, bent, corroded, or damaged.

• The hose connection is loose or leaking.

• The original fastening hardware no longer provides a secure connection.

• You're replacing the corresponding hose or fitting.

One-ear stepless clamps are generally intended for single-use installation and should be replaced rather than reused after removal.
