ear type hose clamps
Ear type hose clamps represent a revolutionary advancement in fluid connection technology, offering a reliable and efficient solution for securing hoses in various applications. These mechanical fasteners feature a distinct ear or tab design that, when compressed using specialized pliers, creates a permanent and secure seal. The clamps are manufactured from high grade stainless steel, typically AISI 304 or 316, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. The unique ear design incorporates stepped edges that, upon compression, create a uniform radial force around the entire circumference of the hose, preventing leakage and ensuring optimal sealing performance. These clamps are available in various sizes, ranging from 5mm to 22mm, making them suitable for different hose diameters and applications. The installation process is straightforward, requiring only a single crimp operation that permanently deforms the ear, providing visual confirmation of proper installation. The technology behind ear type hose clamps includes precise engineering of the ear angle and material thickness, ensuring consistent clamping force and preventing hose damage during installation.
