Best Ear Clamps
Oetiker invented the StepLess ear clamp in 1979. Because the tongue resides in a groove, the “tongue-in-groove” feature exerts pressure on the assembled parts over 360°, enabling the clamp to apply a continuous radial force completely around the connection’s diameter. Some interlock designs can be opened for radial installation prior to closure. The following applies as a guideline: To determine the correct clamp diameter, push the hose onto the attaching material, (e.g. the nipple), and then measure the outer diameter of the hose. These clamps can be easily installed using Oetiker Hand Installation Pincers (HIP). Ear clamps can be easily removed using Oetiker’s hand clamp cutter (HCC). The sizing references for PEX clamps are not the same as standard Oetiker clamps.
