A clamp subassembly includes an annular clamp and a clip attached to the clamp. A hose and clamp assembly includes a hose having an outer surface and an opposing sealing surface and includes the clamp subassembly. The clamp surrounds the hose and has an inner surface with an adjustable diameter. The clip includes a tang having a free end embedded in the hose providing attachment of the clamp subassembly to the hose, wherein no portion of the clamp and no portion of the clip interferes with the sealing surface of the hose. A method for attaching an annular clamp to a hose includes attaching a clip to the clamp, wherein the clip includes a tang having a free end. The clamp is disposed to surround the hose. The free end of the tang is embedded in the hose. In a different embodiment, for the assembly and the subassembly, the clamp and the tang together define a monolithic structure. |
