Oetiker BD-24049-3/4 2-ear Clamp 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER BD-24049-3/4 is a 2-ear clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. This clamp uses a two-ear swaging design that, when crimped with the appropriate pincer tool, creates a uniform 360-degree seal around the hose or fitting. The nominal size is 3/4 inch, with a clamping range of 16.20 mm to 20.00 mm. The zinc-plated head coating provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system installers use this clamp for PEX, silicone, and rubber hose terminations.

This 2-ear clamp is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a low-profile, tamper-resistant connection is required. Typical applications include PEX tubing connections at manifolds and fittings, coolant hose terminations, and flexible duct or fluid line connections. The clamp is sold in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for service calls or small project stock. The 3/4 inch nominal size fits standard hose and fitting diameters common in residential plumbing and hydronic systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style 2-ear clamp for 3/4 inch hose and tubing applications in plumbing, HVAC, and fluid-handling systems where a swaged permanent clamp connection is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an OETIKER-compatible ear clamp pincer or crimping tool to properly swage the ears and achieve the specified clamping force. Depressurize and drain the line or system before installing or replacing clamps. Once crimped, 2-ear clamps are permanent and cannot be reopened without cutting. Follow applicable plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for hose and tubing connection methods in potable water or hydronic systems.
