Adjustable Single Ear Clamps

Adjustable Ear Clamps are a type of hose clamp designed to provide a secure and tamper-resistant seal on hoses or tubing. They feature a band with one or more protruding "ears" and a unique multi-position interlock mechanism. This interlock allows the clamp to be adjusted to several nominal diameters before the final crimping of the ear(s). Once the desired diameter is selected by engaging the interlock, a specialized pincer tool is used to crimp the ear(s), drawing the band tight and creating a permanent, uniform seal around the hose. This adjustability makes them versatile for applications where exact hose diameters might vary or where a single clamp size needs to cover a wider range of applications.

Features

• Adjustable Diameter Range: The key feature is the multi-position interlock, allowing one clamp to be adjusted to several nominal diameters before final crimping.
• Tamper-Resistant Connection: Once the ear(s) are crimped, the connection is permanent and cannot be easily loosened or removed without destroying the clamp.
• Secure Sealing: Designed to provide effective and powerful all-round sealing.
• Simple and Fast Installation: With the correct pincer tool, installation is quick and straightforward.
• Visible Deformation of Ear: The crimped ear provides visual evidence of proper closure.
• Smooth Band Edges & Inner Ring (Often): Many designs feature burr-free strip edges and sometimes an inner ring with radial guidance to reduce the risk of damage to the hose and ensure uniform compression.
• Vibration Resistance: The permanent crimp offers good resistance to loosening under vibration.
• Cost-Effective for Versatile Applications: The ability to cover multiple diameters can reduce inventory needs.
