Working Mechanism

Owing to its tongue-in-groove design, Oetiker 16700016 StepLess one-ear hose clamp distributes clamping force evenly.
The clamp has to be mounted on a hose equipped with a hose stem.
Close the clamp ear completely (Note: a perfect seal and proper installation are dependent on the ear's accuracy).
Hold it parallel to the hose clamp using standard or side jaw pincers.
The hose clamp should be positioned toward the end of the hose after the hose is securely attached to the mating part, leaving roughly 1/4 inch space between the clamp and the end of the hose.
Release the StepLess clamp by grasping the band with pincers and pulling it off.

Features

Oetiker 16700016 ear style clamp has stainless steel construction to resist corrosion.
It delivers uniform 360-degree compression and surface pressure.
This StepLess ear clamp is tamper-evident, owing to its one-piece design.
Oetiker 16700016 clamp has a patented PEXGrip plumbing connection that grips the tube for easy, fast & secure installation, and prevents the clamp from sliding.
The tongue-in-groove design exerts pressure by applying radial force continuously.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we tighten a clamp?

To tighten a clamp, squeeze the clamp with one hand so that the end opposite the driver slides into the sleeve holding. Then, turn the driver clockwise with a wrench or screwdriver so that the threads present on the driver engage the slots on the clamp. Continue turning the driver until the clamp securely tightens around the hose.

How do you remove an Oetiker clamp?

Tools like a rotating / bull nose / side cutter can be used for removing Oetiker 16700016 clamp. We don't recommend using rotating cutters as they might tamper or damage the hose while cutting the clamp.

What is the difference between ear clamps and screw clamps?

Under constant jaw force, ear clamps provide uniform clamping force owing to their single and double ear configurations. Screw clamps have a built-in screw, bridge & D-nut for tightening them around a hose using a screwdriver.
