Constructed from stainless steel, it delivers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. The clamp features a 9 mm band width with 1 mm thickness, providing consistent clamping force across the full seating area. A nominal size of 7\/8 inch covers a clamping range of 19.10 mm to 23.00 mm, making it suited for standard small-bore hose connections. Installation requires a pincer or ear-clamp tool to properly crimp and lock the ears. This type of clamp is a standard fastening component used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OETIKER 15100012-100 is used in residential and light commercial installations wherever a low-profile, single-use crimp clamp is required. Common applications include PEX tubing fittings, coolant hose connections, refrigerant-side accessory lines, and pneumatic tubing assemblies. The 7\/8 inch nominal size targets small-diameter hose ends commonly found in hydronic systems, fluid transfer lines, and compressed-air connections. Its stainless steel construction handles both indoor and outdoor exposure without degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-ear crimp design provides permanent, vibration-resistant hose retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9 mm band width distributes clamping load evenly across the hose bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 mm band thickness maintains structural integrity under sustained pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamping range of 19.10 mm to 23.00 mm suits standard 7\/8 inch nominal hose ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile ear design allows installation in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation crimp clamp for 7\/8 inch nominal small-bore hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a calibrated ear-clamp pincer tool sized for 2-ear Oetiker-style clamps. Depressurize and drain the line before removing any existing clamp or fitting. Once crimped, 2-ear clamps are single-use and cannot be reopened or repositioned. Confirm the hose is fully seated on the fitting barb before crimping to ensure a leak-free connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Ear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19.10 mm to 23.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Width of Ear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.12 mm (0.2560 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OETIKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15100012-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538704662834,"sku":"15100012-100","price":17.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bed287eede86ac49907c060f395d8e2c.jpg?v=1785825716","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-15100012-100-2-ear-clamp-7-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
