Question:
Are hose clamps considered fasteners??
Answer:
Difficult question.
My initial thoughts are NO. But, then I thought, ‘we allow Tie Wraps, don’t we?’ One might interpret a hose clamp as a Tie Wrap with a the ratcheting mechanism replaced by a screw type mechanism (I am thinking about the screw to tighten type of clamp, of course).
So… …Thinking about it in that way, I am ruling that hose clamps are allowed if used as fasteners.
