Product Description
Diamond Eye BC500S304 – 5" 304 Stainless Torca Band Clamp
Secure, serviceable, and corrosion-resistant: the Diamond Eye BC500S304 Torca band clamp delivers a uniform 360° seal on 5.00" exhaust joints without crushing tubing. Built from T304 stainless steel with quality hardware, it’s the go-to clamp for high-heat diesel applications, performance systems, and clean installs where future serviceability matters.
Fitment
- Universal 5.00" exhaust systems using butt-joint (band) connections.
- Works on diesel and gas applications across trucks, SUVs, and custom builds.
- Ideal for straight pipe-to-pipe joints where you want a leak-resistant seal without welding.
Why Choose a Torca Band Clamp?
- Even, full-circumference clamping prevents leaks and preserves roundness.
- Stainless materials resist rust in harsh, high-heat environments.
- Re-usable hardware for easier future service and adjustments.
Cross-Reference / Alternatives (Diamond Eye only)
- Need aluminized instead? See BC500A (5" Aluminized Torca Band Clamp).
- Need a 4" version? See BC400S304 (4" T304 Torca Band Clamp).
- Using slip/overlap (lap-joint) connections? Consider L50SA (5" T304 Lap-Joint Clamp) or L50AA (5" Aluminized Lap-Joint Clamp).
Helpful Notes
- Band (butt-joint) clamps are best for same-diameter pipe joints. For expanded ID/OD joints, use a lap-joint clamp.
- Clean mating surfaces and orient the reaction block over the joint gap for the best seal.
- Torque evenly in stages; re-torque after first heat cycle.

FAQ
Will this fit my truck?If your exhaust joint is a straight 5.00" butt-joint (same OD pipes meeting end-to-end), yes—this clamp is the correct type. For expanded ID/OD slip joints, use a lap-joint (L-series) clamp instead.
What torque should I use?Follow standard Torca band-clamp practices: tighten evenly in stages until the joint is fully seated and sealed, then re-check after one heat cycle. Exact torque can vary with hardware and joint prep; avoid over-torquing.
Band vs. Lap-Joint—what’s the difference?Band (butt-joint) clamps join two same-diameter pipe ends. Lap-joint clamps join an expanded pipe (ID) to a straight pipe (OD). Choose the style that matches your connection.
Is stainless worth it over aluminized?For trucks that see road salt, off-road abuse, or long service life, T304 stainless hardware and strap resist corrosion better than aluminized steel, helping maintain clamp force and appearance.
