you can put together multiple smaller hose clamps to make one big one if that would work as far as were to buy them i dont know were you can

Home Depot and Lowes have them, but it doesn't sound like you live in the US, so you may have to look for a plumbing supply store.

i do live in the US

i live in Miami Florida

but i have never seen any in home depot

It takes a bit of searching, but at the Home Depot near me, they are in the fastener section.

EDIT: I hope you meant to say 3 inches around, because if you really meant 3 feet, you are definitely going to have to buy a lot of smaller ones and hook them together.

lol ya 3 FEET!!!!

i think am going to buy some big zip ties that are about 3 feet long then

i measured about 3 feet round

7" in diameter is the largest they will have and can be found where the plastic and rubber hoses are. Are you talking about 3' as stretched out (circumference) or the diameter measurement?

circumference

i can make hose clamps as long as i want, i get a roll of steel strip with those grooves on, cut of the length you want and put the lock/screw on and you are ready to go.

i made 6 of them about a meter long (3.3') to reinforce a chamber

they are stainless

They sell them based on diameter is the reason asked. Home Depot can fix you up with what you're looking for. A couple of those seven inchers end to end will get you to 44" or so.

@Spudfarm: That's cool you can build your own sized clamp. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of that.

me and my dad call them zip ties or cable ties you think that well work??
