Key Features

• Direct replacement DPF clamp for exhaust hardware service
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in diesel exhaust environments
• Manual adjustment type for controlled clamping setup
• Bolt-style clamping design
• Specific fit application for OE-style replacement use
• Natural finish with a 25.3 mm band width and 1.6 mm band material thickness
• Fits clamp diameters from 247 mm to 257 mm

Detailed Description

This Dorman 674-7006 clamp is engineered for diesel particulate filter service where a precise exhaust seal is required. It is a specific-fit replacement that follows the original clamp’s fit and function, making it a practical choice for diesel exhaust repairs on applications such as Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and other OE-matched systems that use the same clamp design. This part cross-references Dorman - First Stop 35822 for the same application.

Manufactured from stainless steel, the clamp is built for long-term use in high-heat exhaust conditions. The manual adjustment and bolt clamping style allow the clamp to be set within its specified diameter range, helping maintain a secure connection at the DPF joint. The Dorman 674-7006 is also referenced by OE-style interchange numbers A6809950202 and VB2008.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Loose or leaking DPF clamp connection
• Exhaust soot escaping at the filter joint
• Corrosion damage to the original clamp
• Improper sealing after exhaust service
• Fitment issues caused by worn or distorted clamp hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the clamp diameter range before installation and confirm the exhaust joint matches the specified 247 mm to 257 mm adjustment window. Because this is a specific-fit clamp, compare the original part number and clamp style before service. Use standard hand tools for installation; no special tool is required.

For diesel exhaust repairs on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter applications and other vehicles using the same OE clamp design, confirm the DPF connection point and clamp profile before tightening. Proper alignment at the joint helps the clamp seat evenly and maintain a secure seal.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures this replacement clamp from quality materials and subjects it to industry-standard testing to support reliable performance in exhaust service applications.
