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 90mm up to 120mm, 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. Specifications Clip Size: 90mm-120mm Band Width: 9mm Metal Thickness: 0.6mm Pack Size: 5 Clips.
The KCT Hose Clips (5 Pack, 90-120mm) are designed for anyone needing a secure and adjustable fastening solution for pipes, tubing, or cables in home, garden, or garage environments. Their key benefit is a durable, rust-resistant 304 stainless steel construction with a wide band for even pressure distribution, ensuring a tight seal without damaging hoses. A potential caveat is the need for a screwdriver or ratchet wrench for adjustment.

Do I need special tools to install these clips?
Yes, you will need a screwdriver or a ratchet wrench to adjust and tighten the screw fitting on the clip.
How wide is the band on these clips?
The band width on these KCT hose clips is 9mm.
Can these clips be used on automotive fuel lines?
These clips can be used on various automotive applications, including fuel and coolant lines. However, it is always recommended to verify material compatibility for specific automotive fluids and regulations.
Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?
These are heavy-duty clips designed for secure fastening. For very high-pressure systems, always ensure the clip's rating is sufficient for the application's requirements.
Can I reuse these hose clips?
Yes, the clips are designed to be heavy-duty and reusable. Simply unscrew the fitting to release the clip and relocate it as needed.
Troubleshooting
Clip won't tighten sufficiently
Ensure the hose/pipe is within the 90mm-120mm size range. Check that the screw thread is clean and free of debris. If the hose is too small for the minimum setting, a smaller clip size may be required.
Clip is difficult to adjust
Apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40) to the screw thread. Ensure the correct tool (screwdriver or ratchet wrench) is being used and fits the screw head properly.
Visible rust or corrosion
While made of 304 stainless steel, prolonged exposure to extremely harsh chemicals or salt water may cause minor surface discoloration. Clean thoroughly and ensure the clip is dried completely. For severe corrosion, replacement may be necessary.
Clip loosens over time
Ensure the clip was tightened adequately. For applications with significant vibration, consider using thread-locking compound on the screw or double-checking the clip's tension periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Identify the hose or pipe that requires securing.
Place the KCT hose clip around the hose or pipe at the desired location.
Using a screwdriver or ratchet wrench, turn the screw fitting on the side of the clip.
Tighten the screw until the band is snug and creates a secure seal around the hose.

Compatibility:
Compatible with hoses, pipes, and tubing with outer diameters ranging from 90mm to 120mm.
Suitable for use with materials such as rubber, PVC, and flexible plastic tubing.
Check compatibility with specific fluids (e.g., fuel, chemicals) for automotive and industrial uses.
Care:
Clean the clips with a damp cloth as needed.
For stubborn dirt or grime, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.
Inspect clips periodically for any signs of damage or excessive wear, especially if used in corrosive environments.
Store in a dry place when not in use to maintain optimal condition.
