Oetiker BDKP79688 Ear Clamps Pack of 25

Product Description

The OETIKER BDKP79688 is a pack of 25 ear clamps designed for secure, single-use hose and tubing connections across a range of trade applications. Ear clamps work by deforming a raised ear when crimped with the appropriate pincer tool, creating a permanent, low-profile seal around hose ends, barbed fittings, and flexible tubing. They are widely used in HVAC, plumbing, and automotive fluid systems where a reliable, tamper-evident connection is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers of this clamp style.

Ear clamps in this style are suited for residential and light commercial installations where hose assemblies require a clean, consistent crimp. Common applications include condensate drain line connections, coolant hose terminations, and low-pressure fluid transfer lines. This pack contains 25 clamps, making it appropriate for service van stock or small-batch installations where multiple connections will be made in a single job.

Key Features

• Single-use ear clamp design creates a permanent, tamper-evident hose seal
• Pack quantity of 25 supports multi-connection jobs and service stock
• Low-profile design after crimping reduces clearance requirements in tight spaces
• Compatible with standard ear clamp pincer and step-less crimping tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service part for hose and tubing assemblies requiring ear clamp terminations in HVAC, plumbing, and fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a dedicated ear clamp pincer tool or step-less clamp pliers to properly deform the ear and achieve a leak-free seal. Shut off fluid supply and relieve any system pressure before removing existing clamps or assembling new hose connections. Ear clamps are single-use and must not be re-crimped or reused once deformed. Follow applicable mechanical codes for the system type being serviced.
