Single Ear O-Clips

Single Ear O Clips, also known as O-Clamps or ear clamps, are professional-grade stainless steel hose clamps designed to create secure, tamper-proof seals around hoses, pipes, and tubing. These pinch clamps work by compressing the single ear using ear clip pincers or pliers, permanently deforming the clamp to create a tight, reliable grip on your hose application.

Product Specifications

Our Single Ear O Clips feature a 7mm stainless steel band with 0.6mm wall thickness, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability. Available in sizes ranging from 6mm to 56mm diameter, these hose clips suit a wide variety of automotive, plumbing and industrial applications.

How to Install Single Ear Hose Clamps

Installation: Position the O-Clip around your hose or pipe, then use ear clamp pincers to compress and close the ear until it creates a secure seal. The one-time crimping action ensures a permanent, vibration-resistant connection.

Removal: The same ear clamp pincers used during installation can cut through the stainless steel band to remove the O-Clip when replacement or maintenance is required.
