Oetiker 15300027 Stainless Steel Hose Clamp One Ear Clamp Range 13.8mm - 16mm (0.543 - 0.629 ) (Pack of 500)

This Oetiker 153 Series stainless steel one-ear hose clamp is for clamping hoses where a more secure hold is needed than that of conventional clamps. It has a thin-walled insert ring for near-uniform compression around the whole circumference of the clamp and is suitable for applications involving soft or hard rubbers and plastics. 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. It s also made of stainless steel for resisting scaling and corrosion. This clamp is suitable for attaching hoses to fittings or other devices for applications such as food processing and commercial fishing that involve exposure to corrosive elements particularly saltwater.
