Manufactured from stainless steel with a band width of 7.00 mm and a thickness of 0.80 mm, this clamp delivers consistent clamping force when properly swaged. The 3\/8 inch nominal size covers a clamping range of 8.00 mm to 11.00 mm, making it well suited for small-diameter flexible tubing and low-pressure hose assemblies. Installation requires a pincer or ear-clamp tool to close the ears uniformly. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics routinely use this style of clamp where a tamper-resistant, vibration-resistant connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis clamp is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems, PEX tubing assemblies, radiant heating loops, and refrigerant or fluid line connections where a compact, low-profile clamp is needed. The 2-ear design is standard in applications that demand a clean, non-reusable mechanical seal. Its small footprint makes it practical in tight spaces where larger band clamps cannot seat properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-ear stepless design provides uniform radial clamping force when swaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamping range of 8.00 mm to 11.00 mm suits 3\/8 inch nominal hose and tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand width of 7.00 mm and thickness of 0.80 mm for a low-profile, secure fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-reusable, tamper-evident connection once ears are closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for 3\/8 inch nominal flexible hose and tubing requiring a 2-ear stepless clamp connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a dedicated ear-clamp pincer tool rated for 2-ear stepless clamps — do not substitute with standard hose-clamp pliers. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line before servicing any connection. Ensure the tubing is fully seated on the fitting barb before positioning and swaging the clamp. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific piping system being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Ear Stepless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/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: 7.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.80 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.00 mm to 11.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Width of Ear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.71 mm (0.1770 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 15100023-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541833122098,"sku":"15100023-100","price":19.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a2421028990041f07c828ac64500edae.jpg?v=1785886253","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-15100023-100-2-ear-clamp-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
