Oetiker 15100010-100 2-ear Clamp 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 15100010-100 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Manufactured from stainless steel, it provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments. The clamp features a nominal size of 3/4 inch with a clamping range of 16.20 mm to 20.00 mm and a band width of 8.50 mm at 1.00 mm thick. Installation requires a pincer-style crimping tool that deforms the ears uniformly, creating a tamper-resistant, leak-free connection. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters are the primary installers of this style of clamp.

This 2-ear clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a permanent, low-profile connection is required. Common uses include PEX tubing connections on potable water supply lines, radiant heating manifolds, hydronic systems, and refrigerant-line insulation jackets. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture exposure is a concern. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 2-ear design creates a permanent, stepless crimp connection when properly tooled
• Clamping range of 16.20 mm to 20.00 mm accommodates standard 3/4 inch tubing ODs
• Band width of 8.50 mm and 1.00 mm thickness provide consistent sealing load distribution
• Low-profile ear geometry fits in tight clearances common in plumbing rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for 3/4 inch hose and tubing connections requiring a permanent 2-ear stepless crimp fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated 2-ear pincer crimping tool rated for this clamp size. Shut off and depressurize the line before service on any pressurized system. Verify the tubing is fully seated on the fitting barb before crimping. Inspect the crimped ears visually after installation to confirm uniform deformation with no cracks or splits.
