FAQs
What is the specific size range for these hose clips?
These clips are designed to fit hoses with an outer diameter ranging from 18mm to 25mm.
What material are these hose clips made of?
They are made from mild steel with a zinc-plated finish.
How many hose clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 hose clips.
Can these clips be used on automotive applications?
Yes, they are suitable for many automotive applications such as securing coolant, air, or vacuum hoses where the size range is appropriate and the environment isn't overly corrosive.
Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?
While they provide a secure clamp, their suitability for high-pressure applications depends on the hose material and the specific pressure rating. They are generally suitable for moderate pressure where a tight seal is needed.
How should I clean and maintain these clips?
Clean with a dry cloth. Periodically check for tightness. If rust appears, clean with a wire brush. For very wet or corrosive environments, stainless steel alternatives are recommended for longevity.
What tools are needed to install these clips?
You will need a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver, depending on the type of screw head on the worm drive.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not tighten adequately
Ensure the clip is the correct size for the hose. Check if the worm screw is engaging properly with the band. If the hose is too large or compressed, a larger clip may be needed.
Clip is difficult to turn
Make sure the screwdriver is properly seated in the worm drive slot. Remove any debris or dirt from the screw mechanism. The clip may be too tight for the hose if it's already at its minimum size capacity.
Hose appears damaged after tightening
The clip was likely overtightened. Loosen the clip and check the hose for damage. Replace the hose if necessary and use less force when retightening the clip, ensuring it is just snug.
Rust or corrosion appearing on the clip
This is a sign of exposure to moisture or harsh conditions. Clean the clip with a wire brush to remove loose rust and consider applying a protective coating if the clip is still functional. For long-term use in wet environments, consider replacing with stainless steel clips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select the appropriate clip size for your hose.
Place the clip around the hose and the fitting it connects to.
Insert a flathead or Phillips head screwdriver (depending on the screw type) into the worm drive slot.
Turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten the band around the hose, ensuring a snug fit.
Do not overtighten, as this can damage the hose.
Compatibility:
These clips are compatible with most flexible hoses with an outer diameter between 18mm and 25mm.

Best suited for applications where moderate clamping force is required and the environment is not excessively corrosive.
Care:
Periodically check the tightness of the clips, especially after initial installation or temperature fluctuations.
Clean clips with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
For areas prone to moisture, consider using stainless steel alternatives if corrosion becomes a concern over time.
