Manufactured from stainless steel, it delivers consistent clamping force when crimped with a standard ear clamp pincer tool. The nominal size is 5\/16 inch, with a band width of 5 mm and a band thickness of 0.5 mm. These clamps are commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics wherever a low-profile, vibration-resistant hose connection is required. The single-ear design closes to a uniform diameter when pinched, eliminating the unevenness associated with worm-drive clamps in tight-clearance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving small-bore hose connections. Typical uses include condensate drain tubing, refrigerant line insulation jackets, fuel line assemblies, and similar low-pressure hose fittings where a clean, permanent crimp is preferred over a re-usable worm-gear clamp. The 5\/16 inch nominal size targets tubing in the 5 to 8 mm outside diameter range. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vans or shop inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-ear design provides uniform clamping force when crimped with a pincer tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or high-humidity environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 mm band width and 0.5 mm band thickness for low-profile fitment in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePermanent closure reduces risk of hose pull-off or vibration loosening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch nominal size suits common small-bore hose and tubing assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for small-diameter hose and tubing with a nominal outside diameter of 5\/16 inch, commonly found in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a dedicated ear clamp pincer tool; do not attempt to close the ear with pliers, as uneven force will compromise the seal. Shut off fluid flow and relieve any system pressure before removing or installing hose clamps. Verify hose is fully seated on the fitting barb before crimping. Follow applicable codes such as the International Mechanical Code or IFGC for fuel-gas line hose connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single Ear Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBand Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Width of Ear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\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: 16700002-100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543124410674,"sku":"16700002-100","price":16.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/005ea47cdd81bfed8b9f7df4a16e23f9.jpg?v=1785916046","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-16700002-100-ear-clamp-5-16-inch-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
