Recommend hose clamps
#21
Yes they can - I do it all the time with no problems. However, I ONLY use genuine Jubilee clips which are well worth the price you pay as they can last many decades without losing any performance.

Anyone try the Gates PowerGrip SB hose clamps? They look interesting.

I suggest going to the constant torque clamps instead of the simple worm gear clamps. The latter is susceptible to loosening over time, especially when the vehicle is exposed to constant vibration in off-road conditions.
I work in the truck manufacturing industry. We recommend our off-road customers spec constant torque clamps for their hoses and piping.
Here is an example:

Worm gear clamps also create and odd lump at worm gear which eventually breaks plastic piping by flexing it until it cracks. Spring clamps are best, they grab 100% round and do not loosen. Just a PITA to do sometimes.
