When it comes to securing hoses for fluids or gases, the integrity of the seal is paramount. The 1-Ear Stepless Clamp (13.3mm) offers a superior solution to traditional screw-type clamps, particularly for smaller diameter hoses used in workshops, automotive repair, and home projects. Unlike worm-gear clamps that can leave a gap or "step" under the mechanism—creating a potential leak path—this stepless clamp features a tongue-in-groove design. This ensures that the inner circumference is perfectly smooth and continuous, providing a true 360-degree seal that remains tight even under pressure.
Designed for hoses with an outer diameter of approximately 13.3mm, this clamp is engineered to protect the hose material itself. Standard clamps often bite into soft rubber or silicone, leading to premature wear or cutting. The smooth edges and uniform compression of this stepless clamp prevent such damage, extending the life of your hoses. It is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use with water lines, coolant systems, and compressed air.
Installation is straightforward but requires the correct approach for a permanent fix. Using a pair of pincers (end or side jaw), the "ear" of the clamp is crimped closed. This action reduces the diameter of the clamp, tightening it securely around the hose and fitting. Once crimped, the clamp provides a tamper-proof seal that won't loosen over time due to vibration, unlike screw clamps that may back off. Whether you are repairing a garden sprayer, fixing a pneumatic tool, or setting up a beverage line, this clamp provides the professional-grade security you need.
