Oetiker 17800174 screw clamp is a worm gear hose clamp ideal for mounting, clamping, strapping and positioning a wire or hose. This screw clamp secures hoses and tubing to fittings to resist fluid flow leakage.
Features:
- It features stainless steel construction for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- This screw clamp features a StepLess design for eliminating steps and overlaps on the clamp's inner circumference to ensure consistent 360-degree pressure and a leak-free seal.
- It is equipped with a self-tensioning spring for compensating thermal cycle diameter change.
- This screw clamp consists of burr-free strip edges to reduce the risk of damage to the part being clamped.
- It has a narrow band for concentrated transmission of clamping force.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to choose the right-sized hose clamp?
A.
- Measure the outside diameter of the hose and the fitting when it is attached to the intended pipe or tube to select the proper hose clamp size.
- Once you have taken a precise measurement, pick a hose clamp whose operating range places the diameter of the hose in the middle.
Q. How to maintain Oetiker clamps?
A. Prevent tool slip, keep tools clean and lightly oil all moving parts of clamps.
Q. Where should the clamp contact the workpiece?
A. Clamps should always contact the workpiece at its most rigid point to avoid bending or damage to the part by clamping force.
