OETIKER

Oetiker double-ear clamps are available in a wide range of clamping diameters. For example, the 10100041-100 model has a range of 1-5/32 to 1-11/32 inches, while the 15100006-100 covers 27/64 to 33/64 inches. Larger sizes like the 10100049-100 span 1-19/32 to 1-13/16 inches. These clamps are designed to secure hoses in fluid, air, and gas systems, with maximum closing forces from 2,500 N to 3,600 N depending on the specific part. The double-ear design allows for visual inspection and accommodates thermal expansion. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs to cover various diameter requirements.

Oetiker double-ear clamps are commonly made from zinc-plated steel or 304 stainless steel. The zinc-plated steel versions, such as MPN 10100030-100, offer corrosion resistance for general industrial applications. The 304 stainless steel clamps, like MPN 15100011-100, provide enhanced corrosion resistance and are suitable for more demanding environments. Both materials are designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of clamping and maintain a leak-tight seal over time. The band material and finish are specified in the product datasheets, which 3G Electric provides for each SKU.

The maximum closing force of Oetiker double-ear clamps varies by model. For instance, the 10100041-100 and 10100030-100 have a maximum closing force of 3,100 N, while the 15100006-100 is rated at 2,500 N. The 15100011-100 model has a higher closing force of 3,600 N. These forces indicate the clamp's ability to compress the hose onto the fitting for a secure seal. When selecting a clamp, consider the hose material, operating pressure, and temperature to ensure the closing force is appropriate. 3G Electric's product listings include this specification for each Oetiker clamp.

The Oetiker PEX ear clamping tool (MPN 14100396) is designed for securing ear clamps onto PEX tubing. It accommodates clamp sizes 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch. The tool is constructed from forged steel and has an overall length of 8-3/4 inches. It is used in plumbing, heating, and industrial piping applications where PEX tubing is joined with ear clamps. The tool provides a reliable method for crimping ear clamps, ensuring a proper seal. 3G Electric supplies this tool along with a range of Oetiker ear clamps for PEX systems.

Oetiker clamps are used in various pressure applications, but suitability depends on the specific model and system requirements. Double-ear clamps with higher closing forces, such as the 15100011-100 rated at 3,600 N, are often chosen for more demanding conditions. However, the clamp's pressure rating is not solely determined by closing force; factors like hose type, fitting, and installation also matter. Oetiker clamps are commonly found in fluid, air, and gas systems where leak-tight connections are essential. For high-pressure applications, consult the product datasheet and consider the entire assembly. 3G Electric can provide specifications to assist in selection.

3G Electric stocks a variety of Oetiker double-ear clamps covering small to large diameters. Examples include the 15100006-100 with a range of 27/64 to 33/64 inches, the 10100019-10pk covering 31/64 to 19/32 inches, and the 10100049-100 spanning 1-19/32 to 1-13/16 inches. Other sizes like 3/4 to 29/32 inches (10100030-100) and 45/64 to 55/64 inches (15100011-100) are also available. The product line includes both zinc-plated steel and 304 stainless steel options.
