Oetiker 15400035 Stainless Steel Hose Clamp with Insert One Ear Clamp ID Range 12.3 mm (Closed) - 14.3 mm (Open) (Pack of 100)

Size:12.3 millimeters; |; Number of Items:100 This Oetiker 154 Series stainless steel one-ear hose clamp with an insert 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. Hose clamps attach tubing and hoses to fittings to prevent flow leakage or are used for hose or wire mounting applications. They come in a variety of designs to distribute uniform pressure over the circumference of hoses to bind them to fittings. Other hose clamp types are used for mounting strapping clamping and positioning hose or wire. Hose clamps are suitable for a large number of industries and are commonly used in industrial electronic and automotive applications. Oetiker manufactures hose clamps rings couplings conveyor chains hinged belts and other connecting parts and accessories.
