Use v bands all the time now, the seem to seal well and last alot longer after numerous strip n rebuilds. Just aswell they last as there not funking cheap.

They are used extensively in aircraft bleed air systems, so they are very very safe and very good at thier job. Just make sure you don't over-torque them, and give them a good tap all round with a hammer (soft faced) at about 66% of the final torque loading, as it ensures a good seal and makes sure the clamp is evenly seated

Vbands are pure genious - such a simple invention that is pretty much idiot proof.

Bring them on
