Product Overview
The F900013C V-band clamp is a 5.88-inch stainless-steel exhaust clamp used to hold pipe connections together on heavy-duty truck exhaust systems. It is a direct replacement for Paccar part 900013 and is made for applications where a secure connection is needed around turbo and after-treatment exhaust piping. The clamp uses a stainless strap and T-bolt to keep the connection tight through the heat cycles an exhaust system sees.
If you have an exhaust connection that has started leaking, the clamp is one of the first things worth checking. Exhaust parts expand and contract every time the truck heats up and cools down. Over time, an old clamp can lose its grip, become damaged, or simply stop sealing the connection properly.
What the Part Does
A V-band clamp joins two exhaust components at their connection point. The band wraps around the mating flanges, while the T-bolt provides the clamping force needed to keep the joint together.
The F900013C has a 5.88-inch inside diameter and uses 300-series stainless steel. That matters on an exhaust system because the clamp has to deal with high temperatures, vibration, moisture, and road grime.
When the clamp is doing its job, the exhaust connection stays tight and gases remain inside the exhaust system instead of escaping around the joint.
Common Problems This Part Solves
A worn or damaged V-band clamp can cause problems such as:
- Exhaust leaks around the connection
- Soot marks near the joint
- Rattling or movement around the pipe connection
- A loose exhaust connection
- Visible clamp or T-bolt damage
- Exhaust noise that was not there before
A leak may start small and become easier to hear as the clamp gets worse. You may also see black soot around the connection, which is a good reason to inspect the joint.
Why Replacement Matters
An exhaust clamp is a small part, but it holds an important connection together. If it cannot maintain the right pressure, the exhaust joint can leak or move.
Replacing a worn clamp is also much easier than dealing with damage caused by a loose exhaust connection. A clamp that has been repeatedly tightened, overheated, or damaged may not hold the pipe properly anymore.
For trucks that spend most of their time working, getting a leaking exhaust connection fixed early is usually the better move.
Compatibility and Fitment
The F900013C replaces Paccar 900013 and has a 5.88-inch inside diameter. Applications across a range of late-model Class 8 trucks, including Peterbilt 367, 384, 386, 389, 567, 579, and 587 applications. Because exhaust configurations can change by model year and engine setup, verify fitment by VIN or engine information before ordering.
Installation and Service Notes
Before installing the clamp, inspect both mating flanges and the pipe connection. If the flanges are damaged or badly worn, replacing the clamp alone may not solve the leak.
Position the clamp correctly and tighten it according to the applicable service procedure. Do not simply keep tightening an old or damaged clamp to compensate for a poor connection.
Related Part: 5″ Clamp – F554319CC is another exhaust clamp worth checking when you’re already inspecting exhaust connections. The two parts are different sizes and applications, so confirm the required diameter before ordering.
Use Case
This clamp is a practical replacement for truck exhaust repairs involving turbo piping, after-treatment piping, or other compatible 5.88-inch V-band connections. It is useful for owner-operators, fleet shops, and technicians dealing with exhaust leaks or damaged clamps.

FAQs
What size is the F900013C V-band clamp?
The clamp has a 5.88-inch inside diameter. Check the actual exhaust connection and original part number before ordering rather than going by appearance alone.
What does this clamp replace?
The F900013C is a direct replacement for Paccar part 900013.
Can a bad V-band clamp cause an exhaust leak?
Yes. If the clamp cannot hold the connection tightly, exhaust gases can escape around the joint. Soot marks, noise, and a visible gap or loose connection are signs worth checking.
Should I replace the clamp if I remove it?
If an old clamp is damaged, stretched, heavily corroded, or no longer holds the connection properly, replacing it is the safer choice than trying to reuse it.
