Abstract
A clamp for hoses, pipes and the like which incorporates an open diameter lock for maintaining the clamp at a selected diameter despite shipping and other stresses, and for preventing the clamp from opening-up beyond the 'full-open' diameter. The open diameter lock of the present invention will not interfere with further tightening of the clamp, and it serves to give a visual gauge of the nominal open diameter of the clamp.
