163 Series Adjustable Clamps, Stainless Steel Band
OETIKER

Oetiker ear clampsare designed to provide dependable and semi-permanent clamping of hoses in the petrochemical, hydraulic & automotive industries. These ear clamps are ideal for use in cross linked polyethene (PEX) tubing & water supply piping systems. They feature visible deformation to provide indication of proper closure and a dimple to deliver maximum clamping force. They are available in variants having single or double ears. Users should choose a single ear clamp if they want to achieve uniform compression around the hose / tube, and a double ear variant for extended clamping range, when dealing with materials that are vulnerable to thermal expansion or contraction.
Oetiker ear clamps are available in variants having a mechanical interlock, a multi position interlock or an insertfor secure closure of the clamps.
Oetiker Clamps 163 Series adjustable ear clamps are integrated with a multi position interlock having several engagement positions to adjust the clamp to several nominal diameters. These clamps feature a single ear for quick installation & uniform clamping of hoses. They have stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance & structural rigidity. These adjustable circular clamps have an inner ring with radial guidance for uniform sealing around the hose. They have specially formed, burr free strip edges for reducing the risk of damage to hoses or other parts being clamped. Raptor Supplies offers these Oetiker adjustable hose clamps in clamping range of 23.6 to 132 inches. We also supply clamps having galvanised steel construction for mild corrosion resistance & ductility.

Oetiker 163 Series adjustable clamps are suitable for clamping hoses in agricultural, automobile, heating & cooling applications. These clamps are used to provide leak free operation without damaging hoses due to exerting high clamping force. They are also useful in preventing disconnection of hoses from the fittings.

Oetiker 163 Series adjustable clamps need to be placed over a hose & locked at the position nearest to the hose diameter. They can be permanently installed by squeezing the ear of the clamps using a plier / pincer. Squeezing of the clamp ear results in crimping of the ear & tightening of the clamp around the hose.

• Oetiker 163 Series adjustable clamps are used to hold soft hoses & tubing tightly over attachments.
• They have stainless steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance.
• These ear clamps are integrated with 3 / 4 / 6 position interlock to keep them closed over hoses of different sizes.
• They have a single ear (10 mm width) for exerting uniform compression and quick installation.
• These clamps have burr free strip edges for preventing cutting of hoses and a dimple for mild adjustment to temperature changes.
• They have a one piece design without any movable parts, to provide tamper proof operation and resistance to vibration.
• These adjustable circular clamps have 0.6 mm thickness and 7 / 9 mm band width to distribute clamping pressure over the hose.
