Oetiker BD-24049-1516 2-ear Clamp 1-5/16 in 7mm Band

Product Description

The OETIKER BD-24049-1516 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed to create secure, permanent connections on hose and tubing assemblies. The double-ear design allows the clamp to be cinched down with a standard ear clamp tool, deforming the ears and locking the clamp in place without the ability to loosen over time. With a 7mm band width and a clamping range of 31.00 to 34.00 mm, this clamp suits nominal 1-5/16 inch diameter hose connections. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and automotive service professionals wherever a tamper-resistant, vibration-proof hose connection is required.

This clamp is used across residential and light commercial applications including PEX tubing connections, coolant hose fittings, heater hose assemblies, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines. The 2-ear configuration is well suited for installations where a pinch tool or ear clamp pliers are the primary fastening method. Its compact profile fits into tight spaces where worm-drive clamps may not seat cleanly.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated ear clamp pinch tool or side-action clamp pliers to properly close the ears. Depressurize and drain any lines before removing or installing hose clamps on fluid-carrying systems. Once crimped, 2-ear clamps are not reusable and must be cut off for removal. Follow applicable codes such as IPC or IFGC for the specific system type being serviced.
