small hose clamp" -- that probably doesn't help much unless they come in small, medium and large. Here's a link to the instructions.<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/Installation%20instructions%20Forge%20Valve%20(TT% 20and%20other).pdf">Stratmosphere Forge DV Installation PDF</a></li></ul>

Thanks, Denny. I saw that, but thought you/someone might know a specific size. Thanks anyway!

Then you will nee two clamps that will fit over about a 1 5/8" - 1 3/4" hose and one clamp for a 3/8 - 1/2" hose.

Hope that helps.

You need to purchase two hose clamps...one 1/2" for the control line and one 1 1/2" to replace the one that you will need to insult off. The lower one can be re-used and must be unscrewed. If you are lucky it is oriented in such a way to allow access with a #2 philips, long screwdriver. If not, a quarter inch drive socket with a 9/32 socket can be used to loosen the lower clamp. Suggestion is to put a dab of anti-seize on the threads of all clamps before installing them and use a bit of windshield washer fluid to assist slipping the hoses on.

Ronzo also recommends opening the valve and doing a visual inspection on the interior for foreign bodies and interior seals and lubrication.

Sure does....thanks!
