This Draper Flexible Hose Clamp Set is designed for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts who need to temporarily seal various flexible rubber hoses. Its key benefit is the 90-degree jaw design allowing for easy clamping in tight spaces, preventing fluid loss during repairs. A potential caveat is the composite material's suitability for specific applications, though it's generally robust for most common hoses. The set includes three clamps of varying sizes with a one-handed locking mechanism, made from a lightweight yet strong composite material, ideal for coolant, brake, fuel, and vacuum hoses.

The set is designed for most flexible rubber hoses, including coolant, brake, fuel, and vacuum hoses commonly found in vehicles.
The set includes three clamps with maximum jaw capacities of 17mm, 20mm, and 31mm. Select the clamp that best fits the outer diameter of the hose you intend to seal, ensuring it does not exceed the clamp's capacity.
The composite material is generally safe for common automotive fluids like coolant, fuel, and brake fluid. However, avoid prolonged contact with highly aggressive chemicals or solvents.
These clamps are specifically designed for flexible rubber hoses. They may not provide a secure or reliable seal on rigid materials like metal or hard plastic pipes.
The 90-degree angle allows the clamp jaws to grip the hose effectively in tight or awkward spaces where a straight-jaw clamp would be difficult or impossible to position.
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure they are dry before storing. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the composite material.
The total weight of the set is approximately 260g, making them lightweight and easy to handle.
Ensure the correct size clamp is being used for the hose diameter. Check the jaws for any debris or damage that might be preventing a proper seal. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.
Check the pivot point and locking teeth for any obstructions or dirt. A small amount of lubricant on the pivot may help if it feels stiff, but avoid getting lubricant on the jaws themselves.
Verify that the hose diameter does not exceed the maximum capacity of the clamp being used (17mm, 20mm, or 31mm). For very stiff or large hoses, a larger clamp or a different type of clamp might be necessary.
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.
