2-Ear Zinc-Plated Hose Clamp, 9/16 in OD, 0.492 in to 0.591 in dia, 0.291 in W, Steel - 100 per Order

This OETIKER hose clamp is a compact one-piece design that offers robust and secure connections for hoses and tubing. It's incredibly easy to install - just do it quickly and simply, and the visible deformation shows it's properly closed. The deburred edges minimize the risk of damaging the parts being clamped. Also, it has a certain degree of elasticity to adapt to size changes of the joined parts. With a maximum clamp diameter of 0.591 in, a minimum of 0.492 in, and a nominal width of 0.295 in, it's a reliable choice for various applications. It's made of zinc-plated steel (Material No. 1.0338 / SAE 1008/1010), is non-hazardous, and not subject to Prop 65 regulations. It comes in a pack of 100 and is currently in stock.

Using this hose clamp is a breeze. First, make sure the hose and the tubing you're connecting are clean and dry. Then, place the clamp around the hose where it meets the tubing. Use appropriate tools to crimp the two ears of the clamp until you see visible deformation, which means it's properly closed. When handling the clamp, be careful of the edges, even though they're deburred, to avoid any minor cuts. Don't over - crimp the clamp as it might damage the hose or the tubing. To maintain this clamp, keep it in a dry place when not in use. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to clean it. Regularly check the clamp for any signs of wear or damage, and replace it if necessary.
