The clamp uses a dual-ear swaging design: when the ears are crimped with the correct pincer tool, the clamp locks down uniformly around the hose, eliminating the leak paths that worm-drive and spring clamps can leave. The nominal size is 3\/8 inch, with a clamping range of 8.10 mm to 11.00 mm. The ear inner width measures 0.177 inches. A zinc-plated head coating provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis clamp is used wherever a low-profile, tamper-resistant hose termination is required. Typical applications include PEX crimp-style transitions, refrigeration hose fittings, automotive coolant lines, and potable-water supply connections in residential and light commercial systems. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics regularly specify 2-ear stepless clamps when a clean, inspectable crimp is required by code or manufacturer spec. Each package contains 10 clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-ear swaging design delivers uniform 360-degree clamping force when crimped\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal size 3\/8 inch with clamping range of 8.10 mm to 11.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEar inner width of 0.177 inches for compatibility with standard OETIKER pincer tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated head coating for corrosion resistance in damp or wet installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile ear geometry minimizes clearance requirements in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in packs of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style stepless ear clamp for 3\/8 inch hose and tubing connections requiring a swaged, permanent crimp termination. Verify hose outside diameter falls within the 8.10 mm to 11.00 mm clamping range before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a dedicated OETIKER-style or equivalent ear-clamp pincer tool rated for 2-ear stepless clamps. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line before fitting the clamp. Do not attempt to crimp with pliers or generic tools, as uneven force will distort the ear and compromise the seal. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes, such as the IPC or IFGC, for hose-connection requirements in the system being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Ear Stepless\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8.10 mm to 11.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Width of Ear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.177 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: OETIKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BD-24049-3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538975031602,"sku":"BD-24049-3\/8","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/80fcdf9de101757be8ce8f490923d5ad.jpg?v=1785831505","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-bd-24049-3-8-2-ear-clamp-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
