When i installed my new diverter valve today, i could not find a crimp clamp to clamp to top hose down.. so instead i used a screw clamp like on the other hose and tightened the shet out of it.

Will this be ok instead of the regular crimp?

I use fuel hose clamps, which are smooth and the bolt pulls the clamp to be smaller to apply pressure more evenly.

IIRC, it's size #4 for the smaller vac lines.

same thing happened to me, mechanic gave me a screw clamp to replace it...should be fine

Why would that matter? I use zip ties right next to the intake manifold.

i don't know. I'm still really new and i'm afraid to screw up the car.
