Oetiker BD-24049-1 2-ear Clamp 1 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER BD-24049-1 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. The clamp features a 1-inch nominal size with a clamping range of 23.00 mm to 27.00 mm and a band width of 10.00 mm. When crimped with the proper pincer tool, the ears deform to create a uniform 360-degree seal that resists loosening from vibration, pressure cycling, and thermal expansion. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system installers use this clamp type for PEX tubing connections, coolant hoses, and barbed fittings requiring a tamper-resistant, non-adjustable termination.

This clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a low-profile, high-strength crimp connection is required. Typical applications include PEX water supply lines, radiant heating tubing, automotive coolant hoses, and pneumatic or hydraulic hose assemblies using barbed fittings. The 10.00 mm band width distributes clamping force evenly across the hose bead, reducing the risk of hose deformation or blowoff at elevated pressures. Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit, this clamp is practical for service technicians stocking a van or completing multi-connection rough-in work.

Key Features

• 2-ear stepless design delivers uniform 360-degree clamping force when crimped
• Nominal size of 1 inch with a clamping range of 23.00 mm to 27.00 mm
• 10.00 mm band width distributes load to protect hose integrity
• Permanent, tamper-resistant connection resists vibration and pressure cycling
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for efficient multi-connection jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for 1-inch nominal barbed hose fittings and PEX tubing connections requiring a 2-ear stepless crimp clamp.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated ear-clamp pincer or stepless clamp tool matched to the clamp ear profile — do not use open-jaw pliers, as improper crimping will result in an incomplete seal. Shut off and depressurize the fluid system before installing or replacing clamps. Verify the hose or tubing is fully seated past the barb bead before crimping. Installations on potable water systems should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
