Oetiker 15500013-100 1-ear Clamp 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER 15500013-100 is a 1-ear stepless clamp used to create secure, permanent connections on hoses, tubing, and flexible fittings. It is manufactured from stainless steel with a band that is 7 mm wide and 0.6 mm thick. The single-ear design allows the clamp to be closed with a pair of pincer-type ear-closing pliers, drawing the band uniformly around the hose barb for a leak-free seal. This clamp ships individually and is ordered in minimum quantities of 10. It is suited for plumbing, HVAC, automotive, and fluid-handling applications where a low-profile, corrosion-resistant clamp is required.

The 15500013-100 is a 7/8-inch nominal-size clamp with a clamping range of 19.80 mm to 22.60 mm. It is commonly used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors to terminate PEX tubing, coolant hoses, fuel lines, and similar flexible tubing assemblies. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations.

Key Features

• Single-ear stepless design for uniform 360-degree clamping force
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 7 mm band width with 0.6 mm wall thickness
• Clamping range of 19.80 mm to 22.60 mm
• Inner ear width of 9.00 mm (0.354 inches) for compatibility with standard ear-closing pliers
• Low-profile closed profile reduces interference in tight installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style 1-ear stepless clamp for hose and tubing connections in the 19.80 mm to 22.60 mm clamping range, consistent with 7/8-inch nominal hose barb fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation requires dedicated ear-closing or stepless clamp pliers to properly close the ear without distorting the band. Always power down or depressurize the system before servicing any hose or fitting connection. Verify the hose barb and tubing are fully seated before applying the clamp. Inspect the closed ear after crimping to confirm the ear is fully collapsed and the band sits flush against the hose.
