Oetiker 15300018-100 1-ear Clamp 15/32 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 15300018-100 is a single-ear step clamp designed to create a permanent, vibration-resistant crimp connection on hose and tubing assemblies. It is manufactured from stainless steel and sized for a nominal 15/32 inch application. The band measures 0.276 inches wide and 0.039 inches thick, providing a consistent clamping profile across the ear. The clamping range spans 10.10 mm to 12.00 mm, with an inner ear width of 6.50 mm. This clamp is installed using an ear-closing pincer tool and is commonly used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system assemblers working on hose-to-barb or tubing-to-fitting connections.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile, tamper-resistant connection is required. Typical uses include PEX tubing connections, coolant hose assemblies, pneumatic lines, and automotive or appliance fluid circuits. The one-ear design keeps the installed profile compact and avoids the bulk of worm-gear or T-bolt clamps in tight spaces. It ships in a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Single-ear design creates a permanent, non-adjustable crimp connection
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and fluid-handling environments
• Band width of 0.276 inches distributes clamping load evenly around the hose
• Clamping range of 10.10 mm to 12.00 mm suits standard small-diameter hose and tubing
• Low-profile ear keeps installation footprint minimal in confined assemblies
• Compatible with standard ear-closing pincer and stepless clamp tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for small-diameter hose and tubing connections requiring a permanent single-ear crimp fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated ear-closing pincer tool rated for single-ear step clamps. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line before service. Seat the hose fully onto the barb or fitting before positioning and closing the clamp ear. This clamp is a permanent connection and is not designed to be reopened or reused after closing.
