Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of Sealey HI-GRIP hose clips?

The main advantage is their enhanced gripping capability, which provides a more secure and reliable connection compared to standard hose clips, reducing the risk of leaks.

What does BS5315 and Kitemark approval mean?

BS5315 is a British Standard for hose clips, and Kitemark approval signifies that the product has been independently tested and certified to meet these standards, assuring quality and performance.

How do these clips protect the hose?

They feature external pressed threads, meaning the threads are on the outside of the band, and fully rounded edges. This design prevents the sharp edges from cutting into or damaging the hose material.

What is the size range included in the HCJ85A pack?

The HCJ85A assortment pack includes hose clips ranging in size from 9.5mm to 55mm in diameter.

Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?

Yes, their design provides superior grip, making them suitable for many medium to high-pressure applications where a secure connection is critical. However, always ensure the clip is correctly sized and tightened for the specific application.

How should I store the hose clips to maintain their condition?

Store the hose clips in a dry place to prevent the zinc plating from corroding. Keep them organized, perhaps in their original packaging or a compartmentalized container.

Can I use these clips on fuel lines?

These clips are generally suitable for many automotive fluid lines, including fuel lines, provided they are the correct size and the material is compatible. However, always consult specific vehicle or fuel system guidelines for recommended clamp types.

Troubleshooting

Hose clip does not tighten sufficiently

Ensure you have selected the correct size clip for the hose diameter. The clip may be too large, or the hose may be too thin. Check that the screw thread is clean and free of debris.

Hose clip screw is difficult to turn

Check that the screw thread is properly aligned and free from dirt, grit, or corrosion. A small amount of lubricant can sometimes help, but ensure it is compatible with the hose material.

Hose clamp leaves an indentation on the hose

You may be over-tightening the clamp. Reduce the pressure. Also, ensure the rounded edges of the clip are properly seated against the hose and not catching on any rough surfaces.

Corrosion visible on the hose clip

While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances can cause corrosion. Clean the clip and apply a suitable protectant if the environment is harsh. Consider using stainless steel clips for highly corrosive applications.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides superior grip, reducing the risk of leaks or hose detachment.

  • Designed to protect hoses from damage during installation and use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate hose clip size from the assortment pack that closely matches the outer diameter of the hose.
  2. Place the hose clip over the hose end.
  3. Position the hose onto the fitting.
  4. Slide the hose clip over the fitting and onto the hose.
  5. Tighten the screw mechanism using a suitable screwdriver (usually Phillips or flathead) until the hose is securely fastened. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the hose or clip.

Compatibility:

These hose clips are compatible with a wide range of flexible hoses, including rubber, PVC, and silicone tubing, commonly used in automotive, industrial, and domestic applications. The assortment covers diameters from 9.5mm to 55mm.

Care:

  • Store hose clips in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion of the zinc plating.
  • Periodically inspect clips for signs of damage or wear, especially if used in harsh conditions.
  • Clean any dirt or debris from the clips and hose connection points.
