The clamp is an Adel type clamp, not a hose clamp. It wraps around the drain tube and secures to the brace with a single nut/bolt.
The clamp location is difficult to see but not that hard to get your hands on. If you can get the tube clamped, it will be pretty solid. Otherwise, it vibrates up and down and wears out the o-ring seals in short order.
