Ear Clamps

Uses

These ear clamps offer a wide range of features, making them useful for low-to-high pressure applications, such as mining, agriculture, automobiles, heating & ventilation, food & beverage, dispensing systems, irrigation, chemicals and plumbing operations. These zinc plated / nylon / stainless steel constructed ear style clamps are used with rubber hoses, plastic tubing, electrical cables and welding hoses.

Features

Oetiker Ear Clamps:

• Oetiker 2-ear style clamps are medium pressure and thin wall insert rings having double-ear design for an extra grip.
• They provide 360 degrees uniform compression, as well as surface & constant pressure around the hose, making them suitable for handling thermal and vibrational expansions or contractions.
• These clamps have zinc plated steel or stainless steel construction to ensure anti-corrosive performance.
• The one piece configuration of these ear clamps guarantee a positive and tamper resistant seal.
• These Oetiker ear style clamps are supplied with deburred edges to prevent damages to the hose.
• Further, they are flexible enough to deliver a degree of elasticity, caused by thermal expansion or vibration, thereby accommodating changes in the size of the components or parts being joined.
• Selected models including 167 Series stepless clamps have a patented PEXGrip plumbing connection that grips the tube for easy, fast & secure installation. They offer tongue-in-groove design that exerts pressure by applying radial force continuously.
• The visible deformation facility of Oetiker adjustable clamps provide evidence of proper closure while connecting PEX tubing to plastic fittings in coffee and vending machines and can be adjusted to various nominal diameters.
• Oetiker single-ear clamps are ideal for supporting long lengths of tubing and hoses. They use a mechanical interlock, instead of spot-welding the clamping assembly, to reduce the oxidation rates around the closure elements.

HCL Fasteners Ear Clamps:

• These nylon and plastic hose clamps from HCL Fasteners are designed for fastening and securing pipes, hoses, cables and tubes even in high pressure applications.
• The brand's herbie clip models have two interlocking tooth jaws that exert twice the clamping force, as compared to the other similar clamps.

Oetiker 2-Ear Clamps

• These thin-wall insert rings have deburred edges to prevent the clamped hose from harm.
• Their one-piece design provides a secure and tamper-proof seal.
• They are elastic enough to accommodate variations in the size of the components or parts being linked due to thermal expansion or vibration.
• These clamps are available in thicknesses of 0.02, 0.024, 0.026, 0.47 and 0.49 inches and bandwidths ranging from 0.138 to 0.394 inches.

Oferta Motor Ear Style Clamps

• These Oferta Motor Stepless clamps feature AISI 304 stainless steel construction that reduces oxidation on the exposed surfaces.

Dixon Stepless Clamps

• Dixon ear clamps can withstand vibration, pressure and material shrinkage due to temperature changes.
• They have a built-in spring motion that allows the clamp to breathe without loosening.
• Their smooth inner band design avoids hose damage and the tongue-in-groove design provides a 360-degree closure.

HCL Fasteners Herbie Clip Hose Clamps

• These nylon and plastic hose clamps are ideal in high-pressure applications.
• They have two interlocking tooth jaws that provide twice the clamping force as other similar clamps.

Working Mechanism

• Make sure the hose or tubing is in the correct position before sliding the ear clamp over it.
• Place the 'ears' of the ear clamp on either side of the hose, covering both the hose and the connection point.
• Using a specialised crimping tool, position the tool over the ears.
• Squeeze the crimping tool's handles firmly until the clamp's ears are compressed tightly.
• Verify that the clamp is snug and firmly secured to the hose without over-tightening.
• After installation, check for any signs of leakage to ensure a proper seal.
