92Z26 - ESAB 9/16-Inch 2-Ear Hose Clamp for Welding Gas & Water Lines

Industrial Grade 2-Ear Hose Clamp

The ESAB 92Z26 is a high-performance 2-Ear Clamp designed for critical fluid and gas connections in industrial environments. Manufactured to precise tolerances, this clamp features a 9/16-inch nominal size, making it suitable for a wide range of rubber and polyurethane hoses used in welding and maintenance operations. The 2-ear configuration distinguishes itself from standard worm-drive clamps by providing a tamper-proof, permanent seal that resists loosening due to vibration or thermal cycling.

Constructed from zinc-plated steel, the 92Z26 offers essential corrosion resistance for workshop environments. The design incorporates deburred edges to prevent damage to the hose material during crimping and operation. The dual-ear geometry allows for a degree of elasticity, maintaining constant sealing pressure even as the hose material relaxes or expands with temperature fluctuations. This makes it particularly effective for coolant lines and shielding gas delivery systems where leak integrity is paramount.

Installation requires standard pincer pliers, ensuring a quick and consistent application process. Unlike screw-type clamps, the ear clamp creates a 360-degree seal with no bulky housing to snag on surrounding equipment. This compact profile is ideal for tight spaces often found inside welding machine cases or on torch cable assemblies.
