Each clip has a 9mm wide band that helps to create a tight seal around any type of pipe, tubing, or cable. The clips can be easily adjusted with the side-located screw fitting by using a screwdriver or ratchet wrench. The screw ensures the band tightens and loosens with ease to reach sizes from 70mm up to 90mm making them perfect for any job. As the band clamps down they spread the clamping pressure to create a seal that does not affect the integrity of the hose or flow of water or air going through. Being made from 304 Stainless steel, the clips have been designed to be versatile as well as resistant to rust, temperature, and corrosion. The clips are heavy-duty and can be used over and over again. Simply unscrew using the screw fitting and relocate where needed. The clips can be used for a large variety of jobs around the home, garden, pond, and garage. From being used on essential pipework, plumbing pipes, water pipes, DIY jobs, and garden hoses to being used for vehicle fuel, coolant, and exhaust pipes, or even large home appliances like Dishwashers and washing machines. Also can be used for a range of equipment for use like medical, engineering, welding, heating, ventilation, agriculture, and more. The uses for these KCT clips are endless.

What is the band width of these clips?
The band width for each clip is 9mm, which helps to create a tight and secure seal.
Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?
These clips provide a strong seal for many common applications. For extremely high-pressure systems, it's always recommended to consult the specifications of your particular system and use clamps rated accordingly. These are best suited for standard plumbing, automotive, and general utility use.
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 Universal Hose Clips.
Troubleshooting
Clip won't tighten sufficiently
Ensure the hose diameter is within the 70mm-90mm range. If the hose is at the upper limit, ensure the clip is fully open before attempting to tighten. Check that the screw mechanism is clean and free of debris.
Clip loosens over time
Verify that the clip was tightened evenly and securely. If the hose is subject to significant vibration or expansion/contraction, re-tighten the clip. For critical applications, consider using thread-locking compound on the screw, if appropriate for the environment.
Difficulty turning the screw fitting
Check the screw fitting for any obstructions, dirt, or corrosion. Clean the screw threads with a wire brush if necessary. Apply a small amount of lubricant designed for metal-on-metal contact if the screw feels stiff.
Rust spots appearing on the clip
While 304 stainless steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or environments can cause minor surface discoloration. Clean the clip thoroughly with a mild abrasive pad and soapy water, then rinse and dry. This is typically cosmetic and does not affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select the appropriate clip size that fits snugly around the hose or tubing you need to secure.
Position the clip over the connection point.
Using a screwdriver or ratchet wrench, turn the screw fitting clockwise to tighten the band around the hose.
Continue tightening until a secure, leak-free seal is achieved. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the hose.
