Oetiker BD-24049-9/16 2-ear Clamp 9/16 Inches

Product Description

The OETIKER BD-24049-9/16 is a 2-ear stepless clamp designed for secure, permanent connections on hose and tubing assemblies. The 2-ear design allows a pincer tool to deform both ears simultaneously, creating a uniform, low-profile crimp that resists loosening under vibration and pressure cycling. This clamp carries a nominal size of 9/16 inches and accepts a clamping range of 12.50 to 15.00 millimeters. The zinc-plated head coating provides corrosion resistance for use in wet or humid environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system assemblers routinely specify this style of clamp where a permanent, tamper-resistant connection is required.

This 2-ear clamp is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving flexible hose, tubing barb fittings, and push-on connections. Common install scenarios include PEX tubing assemblies, coolant hose connections, and pneumatic or low-pressure fluid lines where a staked clamp is preferred over a worm-drive or spring clamp. Each package contains 10 clamps, making it practical for service trucks or small-batch production work.

Key Features

• 2-ear design delivers a uniform, stepless crimp with a single pincer tool stroke
• Nominal size of 9/16 inches with a clamping range of 12.50 to 15.00 millimeters
• Zinc-plated head coating resists corrosion in wet and humid service environments
• Low-profile ear geometry after crimping reduces interference in tight spaces
• Permanent, tamper-resistant connection once installed
• Sold in a package quantity of 10

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation clamp for hose and tubing assemblies requiring a 9/16-inch nominal 2-ear stepless clamp within a 12.50 to 15.00 millimeter clamping range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated 2-ear pincer or ear-clamp tool sized for this clamp profile. Depressurize and drain the line before removing any existing clamp or fitting. Once the ear is crimped, the clamp is permanent and must be cut off for service access. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes, such as IPC or ASME B31, for the specific system type being serviced.
