Oetiker 18500065 2-ear Service Clamp Kit 124 Piece

Product Description

The OETIKER 18500065 is a 124-piece 2-ear service clamp kit designed for securing hose connections across a range of tube and hose diameters. The kit covers a clamping range from 5/16 inches to 1 inch, making it suitable for a variety of under-hood, HVAC, and plumbing service applications. All 123 clamps are fabricated from stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. The kit also includes one stainless steel side jaw pincer, giving technicians the correct tool to properly crimp and seat each clamp. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and automotive service professionals use 2-ear clamps for leak-free hose terminations on coolant, fuel, and fluid lines.

This kit is well-suited for shop environments and service fleets where a range of hose sizes is encountered on a single job or across multiple jobs. The broad diameter range of 5/16 inches to 1 inch covers many common residential and light commercial service scenarios, including heating system hose connections, coolant hoses, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines. The included stainless steel side jaw pincer ensures proper ear deformation without the need for a separate specialty tool purchase, making this kit a compact, self-contained service solution.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with hose clamp crimping procedures. Before servicing any hose connection, shut off fluid flow and depressurize the system. Use the included side jaw pincer to crimp each ear fully and evenly — never use standard pliers as a substitute, as improper crimping can result in an incomplete seal. Verify that the hose is fully seated on the fitting before crimping the clamp into final position.
