With a nominal size of 1\/2 inch and a clamping range of 11.40 mm to 13.30 mm, this clamp delivers consistent radial compression when closed with pincer tooling. The zinc-plated head coating provides corrosion resistance in typical installation environments. The inner ear width measures 0.2360 inches. Sold in a package quantity of 50, this clamp is well-suited for high-volume installs where a uniform, tamper-resistant connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1-ear clamp is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems, including PEX tubing connections, radiant heating supply and return lines, and similar low-pressure fluid circuits. Plumbers and HVAC technicians reach for this clamp type when a single-use, non-adjustable crimp connection is specified by design or code. The 50-count packaging supports service van stocking and new construction rough-in work where consistent quantities are needed per fixture or loop run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-ear stepless design creates a permanent, tamper-resistant radial crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNominal size of 1\/2 inch with clamping range of 11.40 mm to 13.30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInner ear width of 0.2360 inches for proper pincer tool engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated head coating for corrosion resistance in typical service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 50 to support volume installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 31162901 for procurement and catalog alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style 1-ear stepless clamp for 1\/2 inch hose and tubing connections in plumbing and HVAC fluid-handling assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a dedicated 1-ear pincer or ear-closing tool rated for this clamp series — do not substitute pliers or generic crimpers, as improper closure will compromise the seal. Depressurize and drain the line before servicing any existing connection. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC provisions for tubing material and joint type in your jurisdiction. Inspect the closed ear for full closure and no cracking before system pressurization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamp Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-Ear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNominal Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClamping Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11.40 mm to 13.30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Width of Ear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2360 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: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31162901\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: BDKP79686\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"OETIKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540122534194,"sku":"BDKP79686","price":23.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e49605f0b9d0735ff2e6b771c4e992db.jpg?v=1785846266","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/oetiker-bdkp79686-1-ear-clamp-1-2-inch-zinc-plated-50-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
