OET10100019 - Oetiker 1315 Double Ear Clamp 13-15mm Zinc Plated

Don't Let Leaks Stop Your Arc

In the world of professional welding, equipment reliability is paramount. A leaking coolant line on a TIG torch or a loose shielding gas hose on a MIG setup isn't just an annoyance—it can ruin welds and damage expensive equipment. The Oetiker 2-Ear Hose Clamp is the professional welder's solution for securing gas and water lines permanently. Forget about bulky worm-gear clamps that snag on cables and loosen with vibration; these low-profile clamps provide a sleek, snag-free finish that keeps your leads streamlined and your shop safe.

This specific clamp fits hoses with an outer diameter between 0.492" and 0.591" (approx. 1/2" to 9/16"), a common size for many standard gas and water hoses used in welding machines and plasma cutters. The "double ear" design is particularly beneficial for water-cooled torches. As your coolant heats up and cools down, the hose expands and shrinks. This clamp flexes with that movement, maintaining a tight seal so you don't wake up to a puddle of coolant on your shop floor. The zinc-plated steel construction is tough enough to handle the rigors of a fabrication shop while resisting rust.

Installation is fast and simple using a pair of jaw pincers. Once crimped, the clamp is locked on tight and cannot be tampered with or accidentally unscrewed, giving you peace of mind that your connections are secure. The smooth, deburred edges ensure that even under high compression, the clamp won't slice into your hose. Whether you are building a custom cooler, repairing a torch lead, or plumbing shop air, upgrade to Oetiker clamps for a factory-finish connection that lasts.
