Oetiker 15100014-100 2-ear Clamp 1 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 15100014-100 is a 2-ear clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Constructed from stainless steel, this clamp provides corrosion resistance in both wet and dry environments. The clamp features a 10 mm band width, 1 mm band thickness, and a nominal size of 1 inch, making it suited for small-diameter connections where a reliable, low-profile crimp seal is required. Installation is performed with a standard ear-type pincer tool to permanently close the ears. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters commonly specify this style of clamp on flexible tubing, refrigerant lines, and low-pressure fluid circuits.

The OETIKER 15100014-100 is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a permanent, tamper-resistant clamp is preferred over a worm-drive or spring-style clamp. The clamping range of 22.50 mm to 27.00 mm accommodates tubing in that outer diameter window. It is commonly installed on flexible hose assemblies, PEX fittings, coolant lines, and similar connections in HVAC, plumbing, and related mechanical systems. This clamp is sold individually, though a minimum order quantity of 5 units applies.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 2-ear design provides a permanent, tamper-resistant crimp connection
• 10 mm band width and 1 mm thickness for a low-profile, secure fit
• Clamping range of 22.50 mm to 27.00 mm suits standard 1-inch nominal tubing
• Inner ear width of 7.07 mm (0.2760 inches) compatible with standard ear-type pincer tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for flexible hose and tubing assemblies with an outer diameter falling within the 22.50 mm to 27.00 mm clamping range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated ear-type clamp pincer tool rated for the clamp size. Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before servicing the connection. Once the ears are crimped, the clamp is permanent and cannot be reopened without cutting. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines when using ear clamps on pressure-bearing plumbing or gas-adjacent flexible connectors.
