Everflow g-otcr0012 Pex Clamp Ring 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The EVERFLOW g-otcr0012 is a 1/2 inch PEX clamp ring designed for use with PEX Grip Tec style clamp fittings, compatible with the Oetiker 16707872-100 format. These stainless steel ear clamps create a secure, leak-resistant connection around PEX tubing when crimped with a standard ear clamp tool. They are a common consumable for plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water distribution systems. The g-otcr0012 is sold in packs suited to high-volume rough-in work, making them practical for plumbing contractors who install PEX throughout new construction or remodel projects.

These 1/2 inch clamp rings are used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications wherever PEX tubing connects to barbed fittings. Typical install scenarios include potable water supply lines, radiant floor heating distribution manifolds, and hydronic baseboard loop connections. The Oetiker-style ear clamp design is widely adopted in PEX systems as an alternative to crimp rings, offering a single-ear closure that seats reliably with a pincer-type clamp tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any PEX connections. Use a calibrated pincer-type ear clamp tool to close the clamp; do not use standard pliers, as an improperly seated ear can result in a leak. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines for PEX system assembly.
