Oetiker 15500007-100 1-ear Clamp 9/16 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The OETIKER 15500007-100 is a single-ear stepless clamp used to create secure, permanent connections on hose assemblies, tubing, and fittings. Manufactured from stainless steel with a 0.024-inch (0.60 mm) wall thickness and a 0.276-inch (7.00 mm) band width, this clamp delivers consistent radial clamping force when crimped with the appropriate pincer tool. The ear design allows the clamp to be installed in tight spaces where worm-drive or T-bolt clamps cannot fit. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial assemblers use this style of clamp on coolant lines, barbed fittings, and low-pressure fluid connections where a clean, tamper-evident closure is required.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving flexible hose connections on water supply lines, heating and cooling circuits, and pneumatic tubing. The 9/16-inch nominal size targets smaller-diameter hose barb fittings common in plumbing rough-in, radiant heating manifolds, and equipment service connections. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments, making it appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and exposed outdoor installations.

Key Features

• Single-ear stepless design provides uniform 360-degree clamping pressure when crimped
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, humid, and outdoor service environments
• Clamping range of 12.60 mm to 14.50 mm suits standard 9/16-inch nominal hose barb fittings
• Band width of 7.00 mm and thickness of 0.60 mm deliver repeatable holding strength
• Compact ear profile allows installation in confined spaces inaccessible to conventional clamps
• Permanent crimp closure creates a tamper-evident, vibration-resistant connection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for 9/16-inch nominal hose barb connections on flexible tubing in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated single-ear pincer or crimping tool rated for this clamp profile. Shut off fluid supply and relieve system pressure before removing or replacing any hose clamp. Once crimped, a single-ear clamp is not reusable and must be cut off for service access. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines for approved connection methods on pressurized lines.
