Oetiker 16700075-100 Ear Clamp 2-7/8 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The OETIKER 16700075-100 is a single-ear hose clamp designed for secure, permanent hose-to-fitting connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. Once crimped with the appropriate ear clamp tool, the clamp creates a uniform, tamper-resistant seal around the hose. The band is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet or high-humidity environments. With a nominal size of 2-7/8 inches, a band width of 7.00 mm, and a band thickness of 0.60 mm, this clamp suits hoses in that diameter range where a reliable, low-profile connection is required.

This ear clamp is used across residential and light commercial applications including radiant heating tubing connections, PEX-to-fitting assemblies, pool and spa plumbing, and other fluid conveyance systems where a swaged, single-ear style clamp is specified. It is suited for installation by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals working with flexible hose assemblies that require a permanent, pressure-rated connection method.

Key Features

• Single-ear design provides a uniform crimp and permanent seal when set with a pincer or clamp tool
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposure, and outdoor environments
• 2-7/8 inch nominal size fits common large-diameter flexible hose applications
• 7.00 mm band width and 0.60 mm thickness deliver a low-profile, secure clamp body
• 10.00 mm inner ear width accommodates standard ear clamp tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-ear clamp for flexible hose assemblies at a 2-7/8 inch nominal diameter, suitable for use wherever this clamp style and size are specified by the system manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated ear clamp pincer or crimping tool sized for this clamp style — do not attempt to set the ear with pliers or non-rated tooling, as an uneven crimp can compromise the seal. Shut off fluid flow and relieve system pressure before replacing or installing any hose clamp. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians should verify that the selected clamp nominal size matches the hose outside diameter for the specific tubing and fitting combination in use. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for the system type being serviced.
