Oetiker 10100024-100 2-ear Clamp 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 10100024-100 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Manufactured from carbon steel with a zinc-plated head coating, this clamp features an 8.00 mm band width and 1.20 mm band thickness, delivering consistent radial clamping force when crimped with standard ear-clamp pliers. The clamping range spans 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm, making it suited for 5/8 inch nominal hose connections. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics rely on this clamp type where reusable hose clamps are not acceptable and a tamper-evident, vibration-resistant seal is required.

This clamp is used in residential and light commercial installations wherever a permanent, leak-free hose termination is needed. Typical applications include PEX tubing connections, coolant hose assemblies, condensate drain lines, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines. The 5/8 inch nominal size fits standard hose and tubing in that range. Each clamp is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical for service techs stocking a van or completing a multi-connection installation in a single call.

Key Features

• Carbon steel construction with zinc-plated head coating for corrosion resistance
• 8.00 mm band width and 1.20 mm band thickness for consistent clamping force
• Clamping range of 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm suits 5/8 inch nominal hose
• 2-ear stepless design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant seal when crimped
• Inner ear width of 4.71 mm (0.197 inch) for compatibility with standard ear-clamp tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use clamp for 5/8 inch nominal hose and tubing connections requiring a permanent 2-ear crimp termination.

Installation Notes

Installation requires standard ear-clamp crimping pliers or a radial jaw tool rated for 2-ear clamps. Power down or depressurize the system and allow lines to cool before servicing any hose connection. Do not over-crimp or reuse a clamp once the ears have been closed. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC guidelines, for the specific system being serviced.
