FAQs
What materials are Jubilee Hose Clips made from?
These Jubilee Hose Clips are made from mild steel and are zinc-plated for corrosion resistance.
Are these clips suitable for high-pressure applications?
Jubilee Hose Clips are designed for general-purpose clamping and are suitable for many moderate-pressure applications. For very high-pressure systems, consult specific product ratings or specialized clamping solutions.
What does the BS5315 Kite Mark signify?
The BS5315 Kite Mark indicates that the product has been tested and certified to meet the requirements of the British Standard for hose clips, ensuring a certain level of quality and safety.
How do I choose the correct size Jubilee Hose Clip?
Measure the outer diameter of the hose or tube you need to secure. Select a Jubilee Hose Clip whose adjustable range includes this measurement. A snug fit is essential for effective sealing.
Can these clips be reused?
Yes, Jubilee Hose Clips can typically be reused. However, inspect the clip for any signs of damage or significant wear before reinstallation. If damaged, it should be replaced.
What is the difference between zinc-plated and stainless steel hose clips?
Zinc-plated clips offer good corrosion resistance for general use. Stainless steel clips provide superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for marine, food-grade, or highly corrosive environments.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not tighten sufficiently
Ensure you have selected the correct size clip for the hose diameter. The clip's adjustable range should comfortably encompass the hose's outer diameter.
Hose appears damaged after tightening
The clip may have been overtightened. Loosen the clip and check the hose for any signs of crushing or damage. Re-tighten with less force, ensuring a secure but not damaging grip.
Visible rust or corrosion on the clip
While zinc plating offers protection, prolonged exposure to certain environments can lead to corrosion. For critical applications or severe environments, consider clips with alternative materials or coatings. For minor surface rust, cleaning may suffice, but monitor closely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate Jubilee Hose Clip size that matches the outer diameter of the hose or tube you intend to secure.
- Place the clip around the hose and over the fitting or spigot.
- Tighten the screw mechanism using a screwdriver or nut driver until a firm, secure fit is achieved. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the hose.
Compatibility:
These clips are compatible with most standard flexible rubber hoses, silicone hoses, and metal tubing commonly found in automotive, marine, industrial, and domestic plumbing applications. They are designed for use with materials that can withstand moderate clamping pressure without being crushed.
Care:
- Periodically inspect clips for signs of wear or corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
- Clean the clips and surrounding areas with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating.
- If a clip shows signs of significant rust or deformation, it should be replaced to maintain system integrity.
