Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Hose Clip - Wing Screw is designed for securely fixing flexible rubber hoses, plastic hoses, and flexible pipes in domestic, garden, workshop, and garage applications requiring a reliable seal for water or air. Its key benefit lies in the tool-free, easy-grip wing screw for quick adjustments. A potential caveat is that the mild steel construction, while zinc-plated, may require careful monitoring in highly corrosive environments.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the wing screw design?

The wing screw allows for quick and easy tightening or loosening by hand, without the need for any tools.

What materials are these hose clips made from?

They are manufactured from mild steel and are zinc plated for corrosion resistance.

Can I use these hose clips for high-pressure air lines?

While they provide a secure seal, they are best suited for moderate pressure applications. For very high-pressure systems, professional-grade clamps may be more appropriate.

How do I determine the correct size hose clip to order?

Measure the outer diameter of the hose you intend to secure. Choose a hose clip size where your hose's outer diameter falls within the specified range for the clip.

Will these clips work on corrugated hoses?

Yes, they can work on corrugated hoses, but ensure the clip sits firmly on a solid section or over the corrugation to achieve a good seal.

How often should I check these hose clips?

It's advisable to check them periodically, especially if they are exposed to moisture or used in critical applications, to ensure they remain tight and free from excessive corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Hose clip does not tighten sufficiently.

Ensure you have selected the correct size clip for your hose. The clip may be too large for the hose diameter.

Wing screw is difficult to turn.

Check for any debris or corrosion around the worm screw threads. Clean the threads gently with a brush. If the clip is old, it might need replacement.

Clip appears to be rusting.

This is normal for mild steel, especially in damp conditions. Clean off surface rust with a wire brush and consider applying a protective lubricant or wax if the clip is still functional.

Hose leaks after tightening the clip.

Ensure the hose is properly seated on the fitting. Try tightening the clip slightly more. Check the hose for any cracks or damage near the connection point.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy and quick adjustment with the wing screw, no tools required.
  • Provides a secure and reliable seal for hoses and pipes.
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use.
  • Corrosion resistance offered by zinc plating.
  • Versatile for use in multiple settings like home, garden, and garage.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely high-pressure applications.
  • While zinc-plated, it may corrode in very harsh or marine environments over time.
  • Wing screw might be less secure than a traditional screwdriver-tightened clamp under extreme vibration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate size hose clip for the hose or pipe you need to secure. Ensure the clip's diameter range encompasses the outer diameter of the hose.
  2. Place the hose clip around the hose where the connection needs to be secured, typically over a nozzle or fitting.
  3. Tighten the wing screw by hand, turning it clockwise until the clip is snug and the hose is held firmly in place. Ensure an airtight or watertight seal without over-tightening, which could damage the hose.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with flexible rubber hoses, plastic hoses, and flexible pipes.
  • Suitable for applications involving water, air, or other non-corrosive fluids/gases.
  • Available in various sizes to fit a wide range of hose diameters.

Care:

  • Periodically check the hose clips for signs of wear or corrosion, especially if used in damp environments.
  • Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • For prolonged outdoor use, consider periodically removing and re-tightening the clip, or applying a light protective coating if significant corrosion is noted.
