Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These hose clamps require no setup. Simply select the appropriate size clamp for the hose you need to seal. Open the clamp by squeezing the handles together, position the jaws around the hose, and release the handles to engage the locking mechanism. To release, squeeze the handles again.
Compatibility:
- Hose Types: Suitable for most flexible rubber hoses, including coolant, brake, fuel, and vacuum hoses.
- Maximum Capacities:
- Small Clamp: Up to 17mm
- Medium Clamp: Up to 20mm
- Large Clamp: Up to 31mm
- Material Suitability: The composite construction is ideal for general automotive use. Avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals or extreme temperatures beyond typical engine bay conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the clamps with a damp cloth after use to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh solvents.
- Storage: Store the clamps in a dry place. The high-visibility colours help in locating them within a toolbox. Ensure the jaws are free from debris before storing to maintain their sealing integrity.
