Ear-lokt Stainless Steel Ties

Preformed Stainless Steel Ties are pre-cut straps, designed for quick and easy installation to create secure and reliable fastening around hoses, pipes, and other cylindrical objects. These ss ties come in specific diameters, eliminating the need for cutting and forming in the field. Their pre-shaped nature ensures a consistent and tight fit, providing a 360-degree seal. Constructed from various grades of stainless steel, they offer excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for a wide range of demanding applications.  

Features

• Pre-sized diameters for quick and consistent installation.
• Manufactured from durable stainless steel (typically grades 201, 304, or 316) for excellent corrosion resistance.
• Provide a uniform, gap-free inside diameter for optimal sealing.
• Often feature a smooth inner band to prevent damage to hoses.
• Designed with a locking mechanism that requires no hammering or crimping in some designs.
• Offer superior vibration resistance compared to some other clamping methods.
• Available in various widths and thicknesses to suit different application requirements and pressure ratings.
• Can be single or double-wrapped for increased strength and sealing capability.
• Suitable for applications where a permanent and tamper-resistant clamp is needed.
• Easy to install with the correct banding tool or adapter.

Technical Data

• Material Grade: Typically Stainless Steel 201, 304, or 316
• Inside Diameter (ID): Available in a wide range of pre-set diameters (e.g., from 1/2" to several inches or more)
• Band Width: Common widths include 1/4" (6.35mm), 3/8" (9.53mm), 1/2" (12.7mm), 5/8" (15.88mm), 3/4" (19.05mm)
