Oetiker BDKP79687 Ear Clamps Pack of 25

Product Description

The OETIKER BDKP79687 is a pack of 25 ear clamps designed for secure, permanent hose and tubing connections across a wide range of trade applications. Ear clamps work by deforming a raised ear on the clamp band when crimped with a pincer tool, creating a uniform 360-degree clamping force that resists loosening under vibration and pressure cycling. These single-use, tamper-evident fasteners are a standard choice wherever a reliable, low-profile hose connection is required. The pack quantity of 25 makes this SKU well suited for service vehicles and shop stock.

Ear clamps see regular use in HVAC, plumbing, automotive, and pool and spa applications wherever hose-to-barb or hose-to-fitting connections must be made permanent. Typical install scenarios include coolant hose connections, condensate drain tubing, supply and return lines, and flex-duct collar attachments. Their compact profile allows installation in tight spaces where traditional worm-gear clamps cannot seat properly.

Key Features

• Single-ear crimp design delivers uniform 360-degree clamping force
• Tamper-evident closure confirms the clamp has been properly set
• Low-profile band fits in confined spaces where screw clamps will not seat
• Pack of 25 supports bulk stocking for service trucks or shop inventory
• Compatible with standard ear-clamp pincer and jaw-style crimping tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and service clamp for hose and tubing connections requiring a permanent, crimped ear-clamp fastener across HVAC, plumbing, and related trade applications.

Installation Notes

Ear clamps are installed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors using a dedicated ear-clamp pincer or jaw-type crimping tool. Shut off fluid flow and relieve system pressure before removing or replacing any hose connection. Once crimped, ear clamps are single-use and must be cut off with side cutters for removal. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC for piping and tubing connection requirements.
