FAQs
What does '304 Stainless Steel' mean for this clip?
304 stainless steel is a high-grade alloy known for its excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in wet or chemically exposed environments.
What is the adjustment range for this specific clip model (HGS40PM1)?
The HGS40PM1 model has an adjustment range of 30mm to 40mm in hose outer diameter.
How many clips are included in a pack?
This specific product variant, HGS40PM1, comes in a pack of 5 clips.
Can I use these clips on any type of hose?
These clips are compatible with most common hose types like rubber, silicone, and PVC, provided the hose's outer diameter falls within the 30mm to 40mm range.
What tool do I need to install these clips?
You will need a screwdriver, either flat-head or Phillips, to tighten or loosen the worm drive screw.
Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?
While durable and offering a secure grip, their suitability for very high-pressure applications depends on the specific pressure rating of the hose and fitting system. They are designed for general-purpose use and moderate pressures.
Can I reuse these hose clips?
Yes, JCS Hi-Grip hose clips are designed to be reusable. Ensure they are inspected for damage before reapplication.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not tighten sufficiently
Ensure the hose diameter is within the 30-40mm range. If the hose is too large or too small, a different size clip is required. Check that the worm screw mechanism is clean and free of debris.
Hose still leaks after tightening
Verify the hose is properly seated on the fitting and that there are no cracks or damage to the hose itself. Ensure the clip is positioned centrally over the connection point and tightened evenly. Check if the hose material is too soft and being deformed; consider a different clamp type if necessary.
Screw head is stripped
Use a screwdriver that correctly fits the screw head type (flat or Phillips). If already stripped, try using pliers to grip the head to tighten or loosen. Replacement of the clip may be necessary.
