CT Hose Clamps... Breeze, Oetiker, or McMaster Carr?

"As temperature changes cause hose and tube to expand and contract, the compressed springs in these clamps increase or decrease the clamp diameter. This automatic compensation for temperature fluctuations reduces leaks and eliminates the need for retightening. Clamps have an extended band that acts as a liner to protect hose covers. Clamps are reusable.
Clamps have good corrosion resistance, except for zinc-plated screws, which have fair corrosion resistance. All have Type 301 stainless steel springs. Band is 0.028" thick. Temperature range is -50° to +250° F. Meet SAE J1508.
9/16" Band Width Clamps• Band is Type 301 stainless steel. Housing is Type 302 stainless steel. Screw tightens with a wrench or 5/16" hex nutdriver. Torque is 50 in.-lbs.
5/8" Band Width Clamps• Band and housing are Type 304 stainless steel. Screw tightens with a wrench or 3/8" hex nutdriver. Torque is 90 in.-lbs.
Note: When choosing a clamp, measure the outside diameter of your hose with the fitting installed. "

I don't know if you have seen the CT's in person
but when you see them you will be surprised how BIG they are. That is the reason why I have $ 100 worth of Breeze clamps sitting in my shop and not installed on the S4.
