FAQs

What is the exact size range for these hose clips?

These hose clips are designed to fit hoses with an outer diameter ranging from 25mm to 35mm.

How many hose clips are included in this pack?

This product is a pack of 20 zinc-plated hose clips.

What does 'external pressed threads' mean for the hose clip?

It means the threads on the worm screw are pressed outwards, providing a smoother surface contact with the hose, which helps prevent damage compared to clips with internal threads.

Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?

They are suitable for general automotive, industrial, and DIY applications. For extremely high-pressure systems, always consult the specific requirements of the application and equipment manufacturer.

Can these clips be used in saltwater environments?

The zinc plating offers some corrosion resistance, making them suitable for general marine use. However, for prolonged or direct immersion in saltwater, stainless steel clips are recommended for better longevity.

What tool is needed to tighten these clips?

A flathead screwdriver or a nut driver is typically used to tighten the worm screw mechanism of these hose clips.

Where are these hose clips manufactured?

These hose clips are manufactured in the UK to DIN 3017 standards.

Troubleshooting

Hose clip does not tighten sufficiently.

Ensure the hose diameter is within the 25-35mm range. Check that the screw mechanism is clean and free of debris. If the hose is too soft or worn, it may not provide enough resistance for a tight seal; consider replacing the hose.

Hose appears to be damaged after tightening.

The clip may have been overtightened. Loosen the clip and inspect the hose for cuts or deep indentations. Ensure the external threads are properly seated against the hose and not digging in. Use less force on subsequent tightenings.

Corrosion is visible on the clip.

While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances can cause surface rust. For critical applications, consider replacing the affected clip or using stainless steel alternatives if the environment is particularly harsh. Clean the area if it's minor surface rust.

Clip is difficult to turn or feels gritty.

The screw mechanism may have accumulated dirt or grit. Try cleaning the screw slot with a small brush and penetrating oil, then wiping clean. If the issue persists, the clip may be damaged and should be replaced.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and leak-proof seal for hoses.
  • Durable zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance.
  • External threads minimize potential damage to hose surfaces.
  • Manufactured to recognized quality standards (DIN 3017).
  • Convenient 20-pack is economical for multiple uses.
  • Suitable for a common hose diameter range (25-35mm).

Cons

  • Zinc plating may not be sufficient for extremely corrosive environments.
  • Not suitable for hoses outside the specified 25-35mm diameter range.
  • Requires a screwdriver or nut driver for tightening, which may be less convenient than tool-less options.
  • The 12mm band width might be too wide for very small diameter hoses or tight spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate hose clip from the 20-pack that falls within the 25mm to 35mm diameter range.
  2. Place the open clip around the hose, positioning it over the fitting or end you wish to secure.
  3. Using a flathead screwdriver or a nut driver, turn the screw mechanism clockwise to tighten the band around the hose.
  4. Continue tightening until a snug and secure fit is achieved, ensuring no gaps and that the hose is firmly gripped without being overly compressed.

Compatibility:

  • Hose Diameter: Compatible with hoses ranging from 25mm (1") to 35mm (1-3/8") in outer diameter.
  • Material: Suitable for use with rubber, silicone, PVC, and other flexible hose materials.
  • Environment: Best suited for general automotive, marine (non-extreme salt), and industrial applications. Not recommended for prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments without additional protection.

Care:

  • Inspect clips periodically for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in humid or harsh environments.
  • If corrosion is present, consider replacing the clip to maintain sealing integrity.
  • Clean clips with a damp cloth if they become dirty; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating.
