Description

Ensure the integrity and hygiene of your beverage lines with the Oetiker 18500075 Beverage Stepless® Ear Clamp Kit. This comprehensive 301-piece kit provides a professional solution for creating secure, leak-proof, and tamper-evident connections on a variety of beverage tubing. Featuring genuine Oetiker 167 Series Stepless® Ear Clamps made from high-quality stainless steel, and including a pair of essential Oetiker Side Jaw Pincers, this kit is indispensable for bars, pubs, breweries, mobile caterers, home brewers, and any beverage dispensing setup across the UK.

The heart of this kit lies in Oetiker's innovative Stepless® Ear Clamp technology. These clamps are engineered with a unique tongue-in-groove design that provides a true 360° seal, eliminating steps or gaps on the inner circumference. This ensures uniform compression around the hose, crucial for preventing leaks and maintaining the purity of your beverage products. The stainless steel construction (typically AISI 304 or equivalent) offers excellent corrosion resistance, vital for food and beverage contact, and ensures long-lasting performance even with exposure to moisture and various cleaning agents. The narrow band design concentrates clamping force precisely where it's needed, while the smooth, burr-free edges protect the hose material from damage during installation.

Designed for ease of use and reliability, each clamp's ear provides a visual indication of a secure closure when correctly crimped with the included Oetiker pincers. The mechanical interlock is more robust and corrosion-resistant than traditional spot welds, offering enhanced security. This kit provides six of the most popular small to medium diameter clamp sizes, making it versatile for a wide range of beverage tubing applications, from beer and soda lines to coffee machines and water dispensers.
