Part # 490127-0001
FAA-PMA Turbo Exhaust Clamp for Continental TSIO / TIO Series Engines
The AeroForce 490127-0001 V-Band Clamp is an FAA-PMA approved replacement for Continental turbocharged engines including TSIO-360, TSIO-520, TSIO-550, and related models.
This clamp secures the exhaust-to-turbocharger flange connection, helping maintain proper exhaust sealing in high-temperature turbo applications. A compromised V-band clamp can lead to exhaust leakage, turbocharger performance loss, carbon monoxide risk, and potential engine power loss.
AD 2023-09-09 placed a 500-hour life limit or recurring inspection requirement on many spot-welded V-band clamps. The Hartzell PMA clamp is not subject to this AD, offering Continental operators a durable alternative without recurring life-limit replacement.
Why Choose 490127-0001:
Inspection and Replacement Considerations
Inspect during each 100-hour or annual inspection in accordance with Hartzell Engine Technologies Service Information AF3003.

What is AD 2023-09-09 and how does it affect v-band clamps?
This AD applies to spot-welded turbo v-band clamps and introduces a 500-hour life limit or repetitive 100-hour/6-month inspections due to fatigue cracking and separation risk. The AeroForce v-band clamps from McFarlane are not subject to the AD.
Are these AeroForce clamps affected by the AD?
No. These clamps are not spot-welded and are not subject to the requirements of AD 2023-09-09.
What makes these clamps different from the OEM clamps?
They use a reinforced band design with an integrated safety cable for secondary retention and are not life-limited by the AD
What does the safety cable do?
The cable provides a backup restraint to help prevent clamp separation if the primary band were to loosen or fail.
Should the exhaust gasket be replaced when installing a new v-band clamp?
Yes. Any time the exhaust or turbo flange joint is separated, the gasket or fire ring should be replaced and the mating surfaces inspected. Browse the McFarlane website to find gaskets applicable to your aircraft or engine.
