T-H Marine 16700020X-DP 18.5mm Oetiker Stepless Ear Hose Clamp 10-Pack

The T-H Marine 16700020X-DP Oetiker Stepless Ear Hose Clamp delivers professional-grade clamping performance for marine, automotive, RV, and industrial applications. This 10-pack of stainless steel clamps features the innovative stepless design that provides uniform 360-degree compression around hoses, ensuring a secure, leak-proof connection that won't loosen over time.

Key Features:

• 18.5mm (approximately 3/4 inch) clamping diameter for precise hose fitting
• Oetiker stepless ear clamp design with no gaps for complete 360-degree seal
• Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance
• Smooth inner circumference prevents damage to sensitive hose materials
• Clamp ear compensates for component tolerances with adjustable surface pressure
• Built-in dimple increases clamping force and provides spring-effect compensation for thermal expansion
• Lightweight yet strong construction with low-profile design
• Pack of 10 clamps for multiple installations or replacement applications

Unlike traditional worm gear clamps, the stepless ear design creates concentrated compression through the pinch ear mechanism, which when properly crimped with an ear clamp tool, delivers consistent clamping force. The stainless steel construction ensures long-lasting durability even in harsh marine environments with exposure to saltwater, chemicals, and temperature extremes. Ideal for securing fuel lines, water hoses, coolant lines, bilge pump connections, and other critical fluid transfer applications where reliable sealing is essential.
