OETIKER 15300021 13.3R Ear Clamp, 0.27 Inch Band Width, 11.3 to 13.3 mm Size Range

Features:

• Oetiker 15300021 ear clamp has stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and structural rigidity.
• This clamp has deburred edges and 6.5 mm inside ear width for reducing damage to the clamped hoses.
• It has one piece design without any movable parts for tamper proof operation reducing frequent part failures.
• This Oetiker 13.3 mm hose clamp (15300021) has a single ear for exerting uniform compression around the hose surface.
• This ear shaped design provides visible confirmation of proper closure due to deformation upon closing.
• It is tightened using a constant force, ensuring a constant radial force on the applied surfaces and compensating for component tolerance variations.
• This 11.3 to 13.3 mm sized ear clamp is also available in Oetiker 2-ear clamp models having similar size range for an extended clamping range when dealing with materials that are vulnerable to thermal expansion or contraction.

Compatible Accessories:

• Oetiker HMK 01 / S01: These manual pincer tools have a straight clamping jaw (HMK 01) for normal operation or a side clamping jaw (HMK S01) for easy operation in small spaces.
• Oetiker HO 3000 ME: These pneumatic ear clamp pincer systems allow uniform installation of the clamp around a hose by providing an optimum closing force.
• Oetiker CP 01: These cordless clamp pincers allow lightweight, flexible & quick installation of Oetiker 15300021 clamp in tight spaces. They offer seamless operation at any location due to their excellent manoeuvrability and high accuracy.
• Oetiker HO 3000 EL: These electronically controlled pincers are ideal for uniform ear clamp closure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Is it better to crimp or clamp PEX pipings?

A. Crimping a PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) pipe is a better option for a fast and secure connection that will stand the test of time. But users may choose to clamp the PEX pipings if they require frequent connections & disconnections of the hose / piping.

Q. How can users determine the right size of ear clamps for their application?

A. To determine the size of an ear clamp, users should install the hose over the fitting or pipe and measure the outside diameter of the hose. This diameter should be approximately in the middle of the selected ear clamp's clamping diameter range.

Q. What is the difference between 1 ear clamp and 2 ear clamp?

A. 1 ear or single ear clamps are used for quick & easy clamping of hoses. 2 ear or double ear clamps are ideal for clamping applications handling thermal expansion or contraction.

Q. How can users remove Oetiker 13.3 mm hose clamp?

A. Customers can remove Oetiker 13.3 mm (15300021) hose clamp using a side or bull nose cutter. Users should not use rotating cutters as they may damage the attached hose while cutting the clamp.
