FAQs

What material are the hose clips made from?

The hose clips are made from mild steel with a zinc-plated finish.

What standard do the hose clips meet?

The hose clips are marked to BS 5315 : 1991.

What is the band width of the hose clips?

The band width is 12.5 mm (noted as 9.5 mm in some contexts, referring to the effective clamping width).

What sizes of clips are included in the set?

The set includes clips in sizes: 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 22mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, and 50mm.

Does the set include a tool for tightening the clips?

Yes, a flexible hose clip driver with a 7 mm Hex head is included.

Is this product suitable for marine applications?

While the zinc plating offers some corrosion resistance, mild steel is not ideal for prolonged exposure to saltwater. For marine use, stainless steel hose clips are generally recommended.

How many clips are in the dispenser?

The dispenser contains a total of 100 hose clips.

Troubleshooting

Clip screw is difficult to turn.

Ensure the driver is properly seated in the hex head. Check for any debris in the screw threads. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.

Dispenser is damaged.

Contact the seller or manufacturer for a replacement part or unit. Inspect individual clips for damage before use.

Clip does not provide a tight seal.

Verify you are using the correct size clip for the hose diameter. Ensure the clip is tightened evenly around the hose. Check for damage to the hose itself.

Missing a specific size clip.

The set contains a predetermined range of sizes. For specialized needs, individual clips may need to be purchased separately.

Pros and Cons

  • Includes a specialized tool for efficient installation and removal.
  • Clips are marked to BS 5315 : 1991 standards.
  • Organized dispenser aids in workshop efficiency and inventory management.
  • Zinc-plated mild steel offers a balance of corrosion resistance and affordability.

Cons

  • Mild steel may not be suitable for extremely corrosive environments.
  • Only one band width is provided across all clip sizes.
  • Dispenser may take up limited workshop space.
  • Specific sizes might be missing for highly specialized applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The dispenser unit is designed for immediate use. Simply place it in your desired workshop location. The hose clips are already housed within the dispenser for easy access.

Compatibility:

These hose clips are designed for use with various types of hoses, including rubber, silicone, and PVC tubing, commonly found in automotive, agricultural, and engineering applications. The 7 mm Hex driver is compatible with the standard screw mechanism on the clips.

Care:

To ensure longevity, keep the dispenser and clips in a dry environment to prevent rust. Periodically wipe down the clips with a dry cloth. If a clip becomes damaged or excessively rusted, it should be replaced. The zinc plating offers corrosion resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater may degrade the finish.
