HPS Performance Products HPS Ear Clamp 14.6mm - 17.8mm 304 Stainless Steel Band
$4.93

When it comes to securing hoses, you want something that’s not just tough but also reliable. That’s where the HPS Ear Clamps come in. These clamps are built like a tank, designed to hold hoses tightly onto fittings, whether you’re working on your car or tackling a project in an industrial setting. Trust me, having a secure connection is crucial, especially when you’re pushing your rig to the limits.

What I love about these clamps is their sturdy 304 stainless steel band. This stuff doesn’t just look good; it’s made to handle the daily grind without breaking a sweat. The narrow design features ears that you crimp down with a special tool, making installation straightforward. Once you’ve got it on, you can count on a consistent and tight fit every time, which is a game-changer in manufacturing environments where precision matters.

The tongue and groove design is another highlight. It ensures that the clamping force is not just strong but also uniform around the hose. This means you’re getting a solid seal that keeps leaks at bay—something you definitely want to avoid when you’re dealing with fluids under pressure. Plus, these clamps are tough against vibration and temperature changes, so you can trust them to last through the heat of battle, whether it’s on the road or in a factory.

If you’re tired of fiddling with traditional screw-type hose clamps, these ear clamps are a practical alternative, especially in tight spaces where every millimeter counts. They’re perfect for permanent setups too, so once they’re on, you can forget about them.

Features:

  • Durable 304 stainless steel construction for long-lasting performance.
  • Provides a secure, uniform clamping force to ensure a reliable seal.
  • Resistant to vibrations, temperature changes, and mechanical stress.
  • Great alternative to screw-type clamps in tight spaces.
  • Ideal for permanent applications where reliability is key.

Specifications:

  • Range: 14.6mm - 17.8mm
  • Band Width: 7mm
  • Band Thickness: 0.6mm
  • Ear Width: 10mm
  • Band Material: 304 SS

So if you’re looking for a clamp that won’t let you down, the EC-0178x10 HPS Ear Clamp is worth checking out. It’s got the specs and the durability to keep your hoses secure, no matter what you throw at it.
