Abstract
A hose clamp system is disclosed. The system includes a hose clamp and a retainer configured to attach the clamp to a hose substrate such that a desired radial, axial and circumferential position relative to the substrate outer diameter and hose end is maintained. The hose clamp includes an annular band including a radial inner surface facing toward a central axis and a radial outer surface positioned opposite the radial inner surface and a tension mechanism configured to tighten the annular band. The retainer includes an elongated body extending over the radial outer surface and a clip extending outward from the annular band that is configured to engage a hose substrate. The retainer is moveably coupled to the annular band such that the retainer is permitted to move circumferentially along the radial outer surface of the annular band.
