FAQs

What is the primary use for Faithfull Hose Clips?

They are ideal for securing flexible rubber hoses, plastic hoses, and flexible pipes to create water or air-tight seals in domestic, garden, workshop, and garage applications.

What tools can be used to tighten these hose clips?

You can use a slotted screwdriver, a spanner, a nutdriver, or a dedicated hose clip driver.

How do I choose the correct size hose clip?

Select a clip whose adjustment range encompasses the outer diameter of the hose when it is fitted onto the connecting spigot.

Are these clips suitable for high-pressure systems?

These clips are designed for general-purpose sealing. For high-pressure pneumatic or hydraulic systems, specialized clamps may be required.

What does 'non-perforated worm drive' mean?

It means the band of the clip is solid, without holes, which provides higher thread strength and a smoother surface to prevent snagging or damaging the hose during tightening.

How do I maintain the hose clips?

Periodically check for tightness and clean with a damp cloth. The zinc plating helps prevent rust, but avoid harsh chemical exposure.

What is the screw head size for tightening?

The screw head size for tightening is 7mm.

Troubleshooting

Hose is leaking after clip installation

Check that the correct clip size was used and that it is adequately tightened. Ensure the hose is correctly seated on the fitting and that the clip is centered over the junction.

Clip is difficult to tighten or loosen

Ensure the correct tool is being used and that it is properly seated in the drive nut. Check for any debris in the worm drive mechanism.

Clip appears to be rusting

Clean the clip with a damp cloth. While zinc plating offers resistance, severe environmental conditions can still affect it. Consider replacing the clip if rust is extensive.

Hose is damaged by the clip

This usually indicates the clip is too small or has been overtightened. Ensure the correct size is selected and apply firm, but not excessive, pressure when tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and reliable seal for flexible hoses.
  • Durable construction with zinc plating for corrosion resistance.
  • Versatile drive mechanism allows for multiple tool options during installation.
  • Non-perforated drive ensures a snag-free and smooth tightening experience.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes to fit various applications.

Cons

  • Requires careful selection of the correct size to ensure a proper seal.
  • Zinc plating may eventually wear with prolonged extreme exposure.
  • Not designed for high-pressure pneumatic or hydraulic systems beyond general use.
  • May require a specialized driver for accessing clips in very tight or offset positions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install a Faithfull Hose Clip, slide the clip over the hose end to be secured. Place the hose onto the fitting and position the clip over the hose and fitting junction. Tighten the hex-shaped drive nut using a suitable tool (slotted screwdriver, spanner, or nutdriver) until a secure and watertight/airtight seal is achieved. Ensure not to overtighten, which could damage the hose.

Compatibility: These hose clips are designed for use with flexible rubber hoses, plastic hoses, and flexible pipes. They are suitable for a wide range of applications requiring a seal, from garden hoses to workshop air lines. Ensure the selected clip's adjustment range (e.g., 110-140mm for the 6B size) matches the outer diameter of the hose when fitted over the connecting spigot.

Care: To maintain the performance and appearance of your hose clips, periodically check them for tightness, especially after initial installation or significant temperature fluctuations. Clean any visible dirt or debris with a damp cloth. While the zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive chemicals or environments.
