At a nominal size of 2-1\/2 inches, it features a 7 mm band width and 0.6 mm band thickness, delivering consistent radial clamping force when swaged with the appropriate pincer tool. The single-ear design allows the clamp to be installed quickly in confined spaces where full-rotation tools cannot reach. Constructed from stainless steel, it resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors use this clamp where a tamper-evident, vibration-resistant connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations involving flexible hose, coolant lines, PEX tubing, and similar soft-wall tube assemblies. The clamping range of 60.40 mm to 63.50 mm accommodates hose outer diameters in that band. It is a common choice for press-fit or swage-style terminations on radiant heating loops, hydronic distribution piping, refrigerant line insulation jackets, and low-pressure fluid circuits where a conventional worm-drive clamp is not preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-ear stepless design delivers uniform 360-degree clamping pressure when closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 mm band width with 0.6 mm wall thickness for consistent bite on soft-wall hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamping range: 60.40 mm to 63.50 mm nominal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEar inner width of 10.00 mm (0.394 inches) for compatibility with standard OETIKER pincers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact single-ear profile allows installation in tight or restricted access areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style stepless ear clamp for flexible hose and soft-wall tubing assemblies with an outer diameter in the 60.40 mm to 63.50 mm clamping range.

Depressurize and drain any fluid circuit before removing or replacing a clamp on a live line. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the specific pipe or tubing material being joined. Once swaged, the clamp is permanent and must be cut off for removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Ear Stepless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60.40 mm to 63.50 mm\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: 0.60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEar Inner Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.00 mm (0.394 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\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: 15500041-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541416870194,"sku":"15500041-100","price":15.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c5a4d9e5d4b9fca0f5af70b01566ce7c.jpg?v=1785875496","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-15500041-100-1-ear-clamp-2-5-inches-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
