FAQs
What material are these hose clips made from?
They are made from steel with a zinc-plated finish.
What is the clamping range of these clips?
The clamping diameter range is from 25mm to 35mm.
Do I need any special tools to fit these hose clips?
No, these hose clips are designed for tool-free fitting and can be tightened by hand.
Are these suitable for high-pressure applications?
They are suitable for general applications and moderate pressure. For very high-pressure systems, specialized clamps are recommended.
How many hose clips are included in this pack?
This pack contains 20 hose clips.
What does zinc-plated mean for corrosion resistance?
Zinc plating provides a protective layer that offers a good level of resistance against rust and corrosion in typical environments.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not tighten sufficiently
Ensure the hose and fitting are correctly seated. If the hose is too soft or the fitting is irregular, it may not provide a firm base. Try a clip with a smaller diameter if available, or check if the hose is within the specified 25-35mm range.
Screw is difficult to turn
Check for debris or damage on the screw thread. Gently try to work the screw back and forth. Ensure the clip is not overtightened or cross-threaded.
Corrosion visible on clip
While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments may cause surface rust. Clean the area and ensure the clip is not damaged. For critical applications, consider specialized stainless steel clips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate hose clip for the hose diameter you need to secure.
- Place the clip around the hose and the fitting it connects to.
- Tighten the screw mechanism by hand, turning it clockwise, until a snug and secure fit is achieved. Ensure even pressure around the hose.
Compatibility:
