Description
Overview:
The O Clips Double Two Ear, Zinc Plated, Size 15-18mm, is a compact crimp-style hose fastener for reliable sealing on medium-size hose outside diameters. Made from zinc-plated steel in a bright silver finish, it resists rust and wear in workshop and outdoor environments. The double-ear design applies even radial compression when the ears are crimped, helping to prevent leaks of air, gas, and liquids. Suitable for general hose connections on construction, garden, automotive, and industrial equipment, it is commonly used on fuel, coolant, and air lines where a low-profile, permanent clamp is preferred. Installed using ear clamp pincers, it offers a neat, tamper-resistant fit. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 505 142.
Key Features:
- Zinc-plated steel construction for dependable corrosion resistance in everyday UK conditions
- Double two-ear design for secure, even clamping around the full hose circumference
- Suits hose outside diameters from 15mm to 18mm for versatile use across multiple lines
- Low-profile form factor reduces snagging compared with screw-type worm-drive clips
- Consistent clamp force once crimped; helps maintain seal under vibration
- Quick to fit with standard ear clamp pincers; ideal for repetitive workshop tasks
- Durable, one-time crimp for a tamper-resistant, long-term connection
- Smooth, continuous band helps support a uniform seal on rubber and polymer hoses
- Cost-effective solution for sealing air, gas, water, and many fuel hoses
Typical Applications:
Used on small engine fuel hoses, coolant return lines, vacuum and air lines, washer systems, and general utility hoses on garden machinery, compressors, generators, plant equipment, and light vehicles. Suitable for rubber, PVC, and similar hose materials where a permanent crimp clamp is preferred and space is limited.
