O Clips Double Ear Hose Clamps.

What are O Clips Double Ear Hose Clamps?

O clip hose clamps are specialised fastening devices designed to secure hoses onto fittings, ensuring a reliable seal in a wide range of high-pressure applications. Commonly referred to as double ear clamps or lemon clamps, these hose clamps feature two ears that are crimped to tighten the clamp around a hose, providing even compression.

Double ear o-clips are widely used in hydraulic systems, espresso machines, beer pumps and other pressurised fluid and air transfer systems where leak prevention is critical.

How O Clips Double Ear Hose Clips Work

Double ear hose clips operate through a simple yet highly effective mechanism. Once positioned over a hose and fitting, the clamp's two ears are compressed using flat-faced pincers or special crimping tools. This compression draws the clamp tighter, evenly distributing pressure around the hose for a secure, tamper-resistant connection. Their low-profile design and 360° clamping force make them ideal for tight spaces and applications where consistent pressure is essential.

Materials O Clip Clamps Are Made From

Accu's range of double ear o clip Clamps are manufactured exclusively from Stainless Steel (A2), offering corrosion resistance, making them suitable for moisture-exposed environments. They provide high strength and durability, allowing them to withstand high-pressure loads while maintaining their structural integrity over time. Additionally, their hygienic properties make them ideal for use in food, beverage and pharmaceutical systems where strict hygiene standards are required.

Sizes and Types of Double Ear Hose Clamps Available

Our double ear hose clamps are available in a range of diameters from 3mm up to 25mm, catering to various hose sizes commonly used across different industries. Each clamp supports pressure ratings between 180psi and 200psi, ensuring reliable performance in high-demand environments.

FAQs

Q: What are O clips used for?

A: O clips are used to secure hoses onto fittings in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems. Their secure, tamper-resistant fastening is ideal for applications where maintaining a leak-free seal is essential.

Q: How do you fit an O clip?

A: To fit one, position it over the hose and fitting, then compress both ears using pincers or a designated crimping tool. This tightens the clamp around the hose, creating a secure seal.

Q: How to take off O clips?

A: Removal typically involves cutting through the clip with side cutters or snips. Care should be taken not to damage the hose or surrounding components during removal. As they are single-use items, removal means a new fitting will be needed for re-installation.
