Oetiker BD-24049-5/8 2-ear Clamp 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The OETIKER BD-24049-5/8 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections. The clamp closes by crimping its two raised ears with a pincer-style tool, producing a uniform 360-degree seal around the hose. Manufactured with a zinc-plated head coating for corrosion resistance, this clamp handles a clamping range of 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm and suits a nominal hose size of 5/8 inch. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid-system assemblers use this style of clamp where a low-profile, vibration-resistant connection is required.

2-ear clamps are common in residential and light commercial applications involving coolant hoses, fuel lines, low-pressure hydraulic lines, and automotive or HVAC tubing assemblies. The zinc-plated finish provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and moderately humid environments. This clamp is supplied in a package quantity of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1, making it practical for both single-repair and production-line use.

Key Features

• 2-ear design allows precise, permanent crimping with standard pincer tooling
• Nominal size of 5/8 inch suits common hose and tubing diameters
• Clamping range of 15.00 mm to 18.00 mm for consistent fitment
• Zinc-plated head coating resists corrosion in moderate-duty environments
• Low-profile closed profile reduces interference with surrounding components
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for efficient jobsite or shop use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for 5/8 inch hose and tubing assemblies requiring a permanent 2-ear crimp connection.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated 2-ear pincer tool or stepless clamp pliers rated for this clamp style. Ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting barb before positioning the clamp over the ears. Crimp both ears evenly to avoid deformation or incomplete sealing. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for the fluid type and pressure rating of the assembly being serviced.
