Size:Pack of 10 Genuine Oetiker Clamps Stainless Steel, Material no. 1.4301/UNS S30400 What is StepLess Technology? Oetiker invented the StepLess ear clamp in 1979. The ear clamp’s special design eliminates steps and/or overlaps on the inner circumference of the clamp for a 360° leak-free seal. Because the tongue resides in a groove, the “tongue-in-groove” feature exerts pressure on the assembled parts over 360°, enabling the clamp to apply a continuous radial force completely around the connection’s diameter. Mechanical interlock The interlock is a mechanical system for joining the clamp ends to permit closure. Some interlock designs can be opened for radial installation prior to closure. Clamp diameter The following applies as a guideline: To determine the correct clamp diameter, push the hose onto the attaching material, (e.g. the nipple), and then measure the outer diameter of the hose. The value of the outer diameter must be slightly above the average value of the diameter range of the clamp to be selected. The listed size of the clamp denotes the inner diameter (id) of the clamp. How to Install These clamps can be easily installed using Oetiker Hand Installation Pincers (HIP). The HIP tools have been designed especially for pinching ear clamps quickly and easily.

The HCC tool is designed to safely remove ear clamps.

Really nice, fits perfectly
Using this for some semi permanent clamps on my sailboat pressure water system. I bought a small kit from a different vendor and realized how great these “shark bite” clamps are. The ones I bought fit over 1/2 inch ID hose. Good deal for these vs actual stainless hose clamps.

Perfect Sizing
Amazon must have updated the listing to include the inner diameter range of these oetiker clamps. They were perfect for 3/8'' OD hose

A great product
A great productI switched from using brass ferrules on my air hoses when I repair or build one to using these clamps. It’s a great move for repairs or even making new hoses

Perfect for 5/8 drip irrigation supply lines.
I used them on the 5/8 supply line of a drip irrigation system with barbed connectors and they worked perfectly.

It is what it is
Works great for the application I use them for. They work great on some 1/2" flexible tubing with barb fittings.
