About this item

• Screw-type tightening mechanism for fitting a broader range of hose diameters over ear clamps
• Self-tensioning mechanism for accommodating changes in diameter due to thermal cycles
• Narrow band for concentrating clamping force in compliance with SAE J1508 Type SSPC
• Stainless steel for resisting scaling and corrosion

This Oetiker 178 Series stainless steel bolted self-tensioning Stepless hose clamp is for clamping coolant lines. This clamp has a screw-type tightening mechanism that enables it to fit onto a broader range of hose diameters than the same size ear clamp. The tightening mechanism is self-tensioning for accommodating changes in diameter due to thermal cycles. The narrow band of the clamp concentrates clamping force in compliance with Type SSCP hose clamps as defined in standard J1508 of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). It's made of stainless steel for resisting scaling and corrosion. This clamp is suitable for attaching hoses to fittings or other devices for applications such as food processing and commercial fishing that involve exposure to corrosive elements, particularly salt water.

Hose clamps attach tubing and hoses to fittings to prevent flow leakage, or are used for hose or wire mounting applications. They come in a variety of designs to distribute uniform pressure over the circumference of hoses to bind them to fittings. Other hose clamp types are used for mounting, strapping, clamping, and positioning hose or wire. Hose clamps are suitable for a large number of industries, and commonly used in industrial, electronic, and automotive applications.

Oetiker manufactures hose clamps, rings, couplings, conveyor chains, hinged belts, and other connecting parts and accessories. The company, founded in 1942 and headquartered in Horgen, Switzerland, meets International Organization for Standardization/Technical Specification (ISO/TS) standard 16949.
