These constant-tension clamps have one ear-shaped protrusion with a dimple that increases the clamping force on the ear. The clamp has a spring effect that... How to Install These clamps can be easily installed using Oetiker Hand Installation Pincers (HIP). Stepless Hose Clamp Oetiker Stepless Size 9/16" (14.5 Mm), Ear Clamps, 50-Pack Single Ear Hose Clamps (50 15.3 To 18.5mm ID Range Clamps Oetiker PEX Clamps should be used for PEX applications., Genuine oetiker clamps 360° stepless design - no steps or gaps on inner circumference The sizing references for PEX clamps are not the same as standard Oetiker clamps. Please note - the size of the clamp denotes the inner dimension (id) of the clamp Some interlock designs can be opened for radial installation prior to closure. Because the tongue resides in a groove, the “tongue-in-groove” feature exerts pressure on the assembled parts over 360°, enabling the clamp to apply a continuous radial force completely around the connection’s diameter. The HIP tools have been designed especially for pinching ear clamps quickly and easily. The value of the outer diameter must be slightly above the average value of the diameter range of the clamp to be selected. Clamps - Oetiker Ear Clamps - Stepless Ear Clamps - 167 The HCC tool is designed to safely remove ear clamps. Narrow band, concentrated seal compression 14100396 How to Remove Ear clamps can be easily removed using Oetiker’s hand clamp cutter (HCC). Oetiker invented the stepless ear clamp in 1979. The ear clamp’s special design eliminates steps and/or overlaps on the inner circumference of the clamp for a 360° leak-free seal the nipple), and then measure the outer diameter of the hose.
