Oetiker 10100022 2-ear Clamp 19/32 in Carbon Steel

Product Description

The OETIKER 10100022 is a 2-ear clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. The clamp is manufactured from carbon steel with a zinc-plated head coating for corrosion resistance. It features a nominal size of 19/32 inch, a band width of 8 millimeters, and a band thickness of 1.2 millimeters. Once crimped with the appropriate ear clamp pliers or pincer tool, the 2-ear design delivers a uniform 360-degree seal that resists loosening under vibration and pressure cycling. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics rely on this clamp type for PEX, rubber, and silicone tubing terminations.

The 10100022 is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a low-profile, non-adjustable clamp is required. Common install scenarios include PEX water supply lines, heater hose connections, coolant lines, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant-line insulation sleeves. Its compact ear profile makes it well-suited for tight spaces where worm-gear or T-bolt clamps are impractical. The minimum order quantity is 10 units per order.

Key Features

• 2-ear clamp design delivers permanent, uniform 360-degree clamping force when crimped
• Nominal size of 19/32 inch suits common small-diameter hose and tubing connections
• Carbon steel construction with zinc-plated head coating for corrosion resistance
• Band width of 8 millimeters and thickness of 1.2 millimeters for a low-profile fit
• Ear inner width of 0.197 inch (5 millimeters) for standard pincer tool compatibility
• Lightweight at approximately 0.012 pounds per clamp

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement clamp for small-diameter hose and tubing connections in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician using a calibrated ear clamp pincer tool matched to the ear width. Shut off water supply or system pressure before installing or replacing clamps on live lines. Do not reuse a crimped 2-ear clamp — the ear deforms permanently during installation and cannot be reset. Verify tubing is fully seated on the fitting barb before crimping to ensure a leak-free connection.
