Oetiker 16700002 Stepless Ear Clamp One Ear 5 mm Band Width Clamp ID Range 6.8 mm (Closed) - 8 mm (Open) (Pack of 300)

Size:6.8 millimeters This Oetiker 167 Series stainless steel Stepless one-ear hose clamp is for clamping hoses. 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 ear is visibly deformed when clamped correctly providing assurance of proper closure. 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.
