Oetiker 15400039 hose clamp is used to connect tubing and hoses to fittings, to prevent leakage or mount hoses & wires. This hose clamp ensures that uniform pressure is distributed over the circumference of hoses to efficiently secure them to fittings.
Working Mechanism:
- Oetiker 154 Series single ear clamp has a metal band with a protruding ear, the sides of which are forced together to tighten the ring around the hose.
- The metal band is fitted around the hose that needs to be connected. If you don't do this first, you won't be able to introduce the clamp from the other end of the hose once the hose is attached.
- When the clamp is affixed, the hose passes over the pipe or pipe fitting.
- To ensure a snug fit and no gaps once the clamp is secured, the inside diameter of the hose should be close to the outside diameter of the pipe.
- By using a specialised pincer, the ear clamp tightens around the connected hose, forcing the sides together.
- It is important to crimp an Oetiker clamp with a single tool stroke only. If you crimp it more, the clamp might get damaged.
Features:
- Oetiker 15400039 hose clamp comes with a pre-shaped insert that delivers effective & all-round sealing during installation.
- The clamp ear has a dimple to compensate for component tolerances, provide adjustable surface pressure and enhance the clamping range, as compared to clamps with no indentations.
- It is provided with a mechanical interlock to keep it closed over a hose and has a single ear for exerting uniform compression.
- It features a one-piece design without any movable parts, for tamper-proof operation and robust & secure connections.
- This Oetiker 15400039 hose clamp has surface technique treated edges for less risk of damage to the hose.
- It provides quick assembly and has a visible deformation that provides evidence of proper closure.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to properly position a hose clamp?
A. Hose clamps come in diverse shapes, styles and sizes. However, the majority of them follow the same process for proper fitting on a hose, tube or pipe fitting. Once the hose is pressed securely onto the mating part, the hose clamp is positioned towards the end of the hose, with approximately 1/4 inch space between the clamp and the end of the hose.
Q. Can Oetiker clamps be reused?
A. Selected models of Oetiker clamps, like universal & screw clamps, can be reused after removing them from hoses that do not require clamping.
Q. What is the difference between a screw and an ear clamp?
A. Screw clamps have an internal screw, bridge & D-nut for tightening them around hoses using a screwdriver. Ear clamps use their single / double ear configuration to crimp a hose under constant jaw force.
