FAQs

What is the primary purpose of HI-GRIP hose clips?

HI-GRIP hose clips are designed to create a secure and reliable seal on hoses, preventing leaks of fluids or air, especially in applications where vibration or pressure is present.

What does 'DIN 3017' standard mean?

DIN 3017 is a German Institute for Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung) standard that specifies requirements for hose clamps, ensuring a certain level of quality, performance, and dimensional accuracy.

How do I know if this clip size is right for my hose?

Measure the outer diameter of your hose. These clips are designed for hoses with an outer diameter ranging from 130mm to 160mm.

Can these clips be reused?

Yes, these clips can be reused. It is recommended to clean the worm screw threads before reinstallation to ensure proper function.

What is the advantage of external pressed threads?

External pressed threads provide a smoother surface contact with the hose, reducing the risk of damaging or cutting into the hose material when the clamp is tightened.

Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?

These clips are suitable for low to medium-pressure applications. For high-pressure systems, specialized high-pressure hose clamps are recommended.

What is the band width of these hose clips?

The band width for these hose clips is 12mm.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not tighten sufficiently

Ensure the hose diameter is within the 130-160mm range. Check that the worm screw threads are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using the correct screwdriver for the screw head.

Hose appears damaged after tightening

The clip may have been over-tightened. Loosen the clip and check the hose for any cuts or abrasions. Ensure the external pressed threads are making smooth contact with the hose.

Corrosion observed on the clip

Zinc plating offers some protection, but prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can cause corrosion. For such environments, consider clips made from stainless steel. Clean any minor corrosion and ensure the clip is functioning correctly.

Difficulty sliding clip onto hose

Ensure the clip is fully loosened and opened to its maximum diameter. If the hose is particularly stiff, warming it slightly may make it more pliable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with zinc plating for corrosion resistance.
  • Designed to minimize hose damage with smooth external threads.
  • Manufactured to recognized DIN 3017 standards for reliability.
  • Provides a secure and high-grip connection.
  • Convenient pack size for common applications.

Cons

  • Specific size range (130-160mm) may not fit all applications.
  • Requires accurate hose measurement for correct selection.
  • Worm drive mechanism, while secure, can require manual tightening.
  • Zinc plating may not be suitable for extremely corrosive environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the outer diameter of the hose you intend to secure. Ensure the diameter falls within the 130-160mm range for these clips.
  2. Slide the hose clip over the hose, positioning it where the connection needs to be sealed.
  3. Using a screwdriver (typically a flathead or Phillips, depending on the screw head), turn the worm screw clockwise to tighten the band around the hose.
  4. Continue tightening until a snug and secure fit is achieved, ensuring no gaps or leaks are present.

Compatibility:

  • These clips are designed for hoses with outer diameters between 130mm and 160mm.
  • Suitable for use with rubber, silicone, PVC, and other flexible hose materials.
  • Ensure the clamp material (zinc-plated steel) is compatible with the environment to prevent premature corrosion.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect clips for signs of corrosion or damage.
  • If removed, clean the threads of the worm screw to ensure smooth operation for reinstallation.
  • Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hose or the clip itself.
