The Story

The WDC160 is a 160mm metal worm-drive hose clip, used to secure flexible ducting onto the male spigots of 160mm spiral ductwork fittings — including bends, tees, reducers, and connectors. The worm-drive (jubilee-type) clamp tightens evenly around the hose using a screw mechanism, creating a secure, adjustable connection that resists the hose slipping off under airflow pressure or vibration. Suitable for use with both standard and insulated 160mm flexible ducting, including the VFD160/10INS.

General HVAC
Multi-System Use
When You Need a Worm Clip: A worm-drive clip is needed wherever flexible ducting is fitted over a rigid male spigot — for example, connecting VFD160/10INS insulated flex to a fitting, fan spigot, or terminal in the 160mm spiral system.
Key Features
Worm-Drive Screw Mechanism
The screw-driven band tightens evenly around the flexible hose, compressing it onto the spigot to create a secure connection that resists pull-off and vibration loosening.
Adjustable Fit
The worm-drive design accommodates variation in hose wall thickness and spigot diameter, ensuring a tight fit across different 160mm flexible duct products.
Metal Construction
Made from steel band and housing, providing durability for use in lofts, ceiling voids, and plant spaces with variable temperature and humidity conditions.
160mm Sizing
Sized for use on 160mm flexible ducting — including standard PVC/aluminium flex and insulated flexible hose such as VFD160/10INS — fitted over 160mm male spigots.
Quick Installation
Slide the clip over the hose before fitting it to the spigot, position over the joint, and tighten with a flat-head screwdriver or nut driver in seconds.
General HVAC Application
Suitable for MVHR, MEV, dust extraction, fume extraction, and general ventilation systems wherever 160mm flexible hose is connected to rigid spiral fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How tight should I tighten the worm clip?
Tighten until the hose is firmly compressed onto the spigot without the band cutting into the hose material — typically finger-tight plus a couple of turns with a screwdriver for standard flexible duct.
Can I reuse worm clips?
Yes — worm clips are fully reusable. Loosen the screw to release the hose and re-tighten on a new connection as needed.
Do I need one clip or two per joint?
One clip per joint is standard for most ventilation applications. For higher-spec or pressurised systems, a second clip can be added for extra security and airtightness.
Is the WDC160 suitable for insulated flexible duct?
Yes — the WDC160 can be used to secure both standard and insulated 160mm flexible ducting, including the VFD160/10INS, onto the male spigots of 160mm fittings and connectors.
