Description

Achieve robust, reliable, and leak-proof connections across a wide range of applications with the Oetiker 18500060 Stepless® Ear Clamp Kit. This comprehensive 81-piece kit is an essential for professionals and serious DIYers in the UK, providing eight popular sizes of Oetiker's renowned 1-Ear Stepless® Clamps, all crafted from high-quality stainless steel. The kit also includes a genuine Oetiker Standard Jaw Pincer, ensuring you have the correct tool for perfect installation every time.

Oetiker, the inventor of the ear clamp, delivers unmatched quality and performance. The Stepless® design is a hallmark of their innovation, featuring a unique tongue-in-groove construction that provides a true 360° seal. This eliminates any steps or gaps on the clamp's inner circumference, ensuring uniform compression and preventing leaks, even on thinner-walled hoses or tubing. The stainless steel material (typically AISI 304) offers excellent resistance to scaling and corrosion, making these clamps suitable for demanding conditions in automotive, industrial, agricultural, and even some food processing applications.

Each clamp in this versatile kit is designed for a secure and lasting hold. The narrow band concentrates the clamping force effectively, while the specially formed, burr-free strip edges protect the hose from damage during and after installation. The mechanical interlock of the clamp provides a more secure and corrosion-resistant closure than traditional spot welds. Once correctly closed using the supplied Oetiker pincers, the clamp's ear offers a tamper-evident visual confirmation of a secure connection. This 81-piece kit, presented in a durable plastic case, ensures you have a range of common sizes readily available for maintenance, repair, and manufacturing tasks.
