Description
Overview:
These 2‐ear 'O' Clips are zinc‐plated steel fasteners used for secure, permanent sealing of hose connections on small plant, garden machinery and vehicles. The bright zinc finish offers good corrosion resistance in wet or dirty environments. Sized for an inner diameter of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) and a clamping range of 11-13 mm, they suit many common fuel, air, coolant and water lines on equipment such as generators and pressure washers. The twin‐ear design is crimped with ear‐clamp pincers to deliver uniform 360° compression, helping to prevent leaks and maintain system efficiency under vibration. Low‐profile and compact, they fit neatly in tight spaces. Sold individually for precise quantities. Manufacturer Part Number: 505 140.
Key Features:
- Zinc‐plated steel for durable corrosion resistance in workshop and site conditions
- 2‐ear design provides strong, even 360° clamping for reliable sealing
- Size: suits 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) hose tails; clamping range 11-13 mm (approx. 0.43-0.51 inch)
- Low‐profile band helps access confined areas and reduces snagging on nearby parts
- Simple to fit with ear‐clamp pincers; crimp both ears for a permanent connection
- Maintains clamp force against vibration and thermal cycling on small engines and pumps
- Helps prevent leaks of air, fuel, oil, coolant and water in lines and return hoses
- Smooth band profile supports the hose cover and minimises local pinch points
- Suitable for elastomer and reinforced PVC hoses within the stated size range
- Supplied individually so you can buy exactly what the job needs
Typical Applications:
Sealing flexible hoses on compactors, mowers, strimmers, chainsaws, generators, water pumps, compressors, pressure washers, small tractors, and utility vehicles. Common on carburettor lines, fuel return hoses, breather tubes, coolant bypass lines, pneumatic circuits, and low‐pressure irrigation lines in domestic, agricultural, automotive and light industrial settings.
Also known as:
Double‐ear clip, two‐ear hose clip, pinch clamp, crimp clamp, ear‐type hose clip, O‐clip fastener, pipe retention clip, tube clamp, ear crimp clip, fixed‐size hose clip.
