It is manufactured from stainless steel with a band width of 7 mm and a wall thickness of 0.6 mm. The ear design allows the clamp to be pinched with a standard ear-clamp tool, cold-forming the ear closed and locking the clamp diameter without sharp edges. This clamp is sized for a nominal 1-5\/8 inch application with a clamping range of 37.90 mm to 41.00 mm. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and automotive cooling system installers commonly use this style of clamp where a low-profile, tamper-resistant connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1-ear clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a single-use permanent clamp is preferred over a worm-gear or T-bolt clamp. Typical applications include securing rubber or silicone hose on coolant lines, radiant heating tubing, PEX transition fittings, and similar fluid-handling connections. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor environments where corrosion resistance is a factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-ear stepless design forms a 360-degree uniform seal when pinched closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7 mm band width distributes clamping force evenly across the hose bead\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.6 mm wall thickness provides a low-profile clamp body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamping range of 37.90 mm to 41.00 mm fits nominal 1-5\/8 inch hose OD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCold-formed ear closure eliminates reusability, creating a tamper-evident connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style single-ear clamp replacement for nominal 1-5\/8 inch hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a dedicated ear-clamp pinching tool sized for the ear width. Ensure the hose is fully seated on the fitting barb before positioning and closing the clamp. Power down any pressurized system and relieve line pressure before disturbing an existing connection. Do not reuse a previously pinched ear clamp, as the cold-formed ear cannot be reopened without damaging the clamp body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Ear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-5\/8 inches\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 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37.90 mm to 41.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Width of Ear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.00 mm (0.394 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\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 15500026-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541480538418,"sku":"15500026-100","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/10e64e66bddf327c6b2ab9f7d0ba81c5.jpg?v=1785877346","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-15500026-100-1-ear-clamp-1-5-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
