Oetiker 10500010 Zinc-Plated Steel Hose Clamp with Mechanical Interlock One Ear 7 mm Band Width Clamp Range 15.7mm - 18.5mm (0.618 - 0.728 ) (Pack of 5)

This Oetiker 105 Series zinc-plated steel one-ear hose clamp with mechanical interlock is suitable for securing a hose to a fitting. The dimple or indentation on the ear of the clamp increases the clamping force for a more secure hold and the mechanical interlock of this clamp keeps it securely closed and provides better corrosion resistance than a spot-weld which is vulnerable to corrosion. The band of the clamp has a 7 mm width and is made from either galvanized or zinc-plated steel for resisting corrosion from salt spray in compliance with DIN EN ISO standard 9227. The burr-free edges of the band reduce the risk of damaging the hose or other item being clamped. This clamp is suitable for attaching hoses to fittings or other devices for applications that involve exposure to corrosive elements particularly saltwater. Such applications include food processing and marine-related processing such as commercial fishing among others.
