Description
Overview:
The O Clip 8-11 mm Zinc Plated is a compact steel clamp for securing small-bore hoses and pipes to barbs and fittings. Made from zinc-plated steel for reliable corrosion resistance, it provides a tight, uniform seal for fuel, air, coolant, water and vacuum lines on garden machinery, construction equipment, vehicles and general plumbing. The 8-11 mm clamping range (0.31-0.43 inches) suits common rubber, silicone and PVC hoses found on pumps, carburettors and manifolds. Its low-profile, screwless design is ideal in confined spaces where worm-drive clips are bulky. Installation is by crimping the ear with suitable pincers to create a permanent, vibration-resistant hold. Durable, weather-tolerant and simple to fit, it helps prevent leaks in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Part number: 505 138.
Key Features:
- Size range: 8-11 mm (0.31-0.43 inches) for small-bore hose and tube
- Zinc-plated steel resists rust for long service life indoors and outdoors
- Uniform 360° compression helps reduce leaks and hose creep
- Smooth inner band minimises damage to hose covers
- Low-profile, screwless form fits tight engine bays and housings
- Permanent, vibration-resistant hold once the ear is crimped
- Quick to fit with ear-clamp pincers; no screw adjustment required
- Robust yet lightweight for mobile plant and workshop use
- Suitable for rubber, silicone and PVC hoses on fuel, air and coolant lines
- Useful where a slimmer clamp is preferred over worm-drive types
Typical Applications:
Securing fuel, vacuum and breather lines on lawnmowers, generators, strimmers, pressure washers and compactors. Fastening washer and coolant hoses in automotive maintenance. Clamping air and water lines on compressors, irrigation systems and light industrial machinery. Useful in domestic and site plumbing for small-bore flexible connectors and in pneumatic circuits where a tamper-resistant, permanent clamp is required.
Also known as:
Ear clamp, crimp ear clamp, Oetiker-style hose clamp, single-ear hose clip, pincer clamp, non-adjustable hose clamp, ear-type band clamp, clamp ring.
