The Loops Double Ear O-Clip (11mm-13mm) is an essential component for DIY enthusiasts and professionals working with air and hydraulic hose systems. Engineered for durability and a secure fit, these zinc-plated clips ensure a reliable seal on hose connections to prevent leaks during operation. While they provide excellent long-term clamping force, users should note that they require a specialized pincers tool for proper installation and cannot be easily adjusted once fully clamped.

No, these are single-use clips. Once the ears are crimped, the metal is permanently deformed and the clip must be removed by cutting.
While designed for air and hydraulic use, they can be used on water lines provided the diameter fits the 11mm-13mm specification and the pressure is within safe limits.
Yes, you require O-clip pincers (or crimping pliers) to properly collapse the ears of the clip.
It is a standard indicating the material composition and mechanical properties of the steel used, ensuring consistent quality and strength for industrial fasteners.
They feature a zinc-plated finish which provides significant rust resistance; however, in extreme or saline environments, some surface oxidation may eventually occur.
Ensure the hose diameter is within the 11mm-13mm range; if the hose is too thin, the clip cannot compress sufficiently.
Check that the clip is positioned directly over the barbs of the hose fitting and confirm that the ears were crimped evenly.
Verify you are using an appropriate pincer tool. If the pincer is damaged or of the wrong type, it will not provide the necessary mechanical advantage.
To install these clips, slide the O-clip over the hose end before pushing the hose onto the fitting. Position the clip over the area where the fitting meets the hose. Using a dedicated O-clip pincer, squeeze both ears of the clip until the pincer jaws bottom out or the desired compression is achieved. Avoid over-crimping, which could damage the hose material.
These clips are designed for standard air and hydraulic hoses measuring between 11mm and 13mm. Periodically inspect the clips for signs of heavy oxidation or mechanical deformation, particularly if the system is exposed to extreme temperatures or high-pressure cycles. If a hose needs replacing, the clip must be carefully removed by cutting it with side cutters; never reuse a crimped clip.
