Oetiker 15100009-100 2-ear Clamp 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 15100009-100 is a 2-ear clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Manufactured from stainless steel, this clamp features an 8.00 mm band width and 0.80 mm material thickness, delivering consistent clamping force across its operating range. The 2-ear design allows the clamp to be installed with standard pincer tools and does not require a worm-drive mechanism, making it well suited for high-volume or production-line installations. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system assemblers rely on this style of clamp for connections that must stay leak-free under vibration and pressure cycling.

This clamp is sized for a nominal 5/8 inch application with a clamping range of 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm, covering common PEX, silicone, and reinforced rubber hose assemblies found in residential and light commercial systems. The one-time-crimp ear design creates a tamper-evident, permanent connection once closed, which is preferred in finished installations where future disassembly is not anticipated. This part is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 2-ear design for permanent, single-crimp installation using standard pincer tools
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 8.00 mm band width provides even clamping pressure distribution across the hose
• 0.80 mm band thickness balances rigidity with consistent ear-closure performance
• Clamping range of 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm suits nominal 5/8 inch hose and tubing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for nominal 5/8 inch hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-transfer assemblies where a permanent crimp clamp is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians using calibrated ear-clamp pincer tools sized for 2-ear clamps. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any hose connection. Confirm the hose outer diameter falls within the 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm clamping range before crimping, as an improperly sized clamp cannot be adjusted after the ears are closed. Once crimped, inspect the closed ears visually to confirm both ears have fully collapsed without cracking.
