Description
Overview:
This 1/2" O-Clip is a metal crimp-style hose clamp for making secure, permanent connections on flexible hose. It is sized for hose with an outside diameter of 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in), providing reliable retention on barbed fittings, tubes, and pipe tails. The closed “O” band is tightened by pinching the ear with suitable pincers, delivering even 360° compression without a bulky screw housing. This low-profile design helps prevent snagging and reduces the risk of loosening under vibration. It is suited to general-purpose air, fuel, water, and vacuum lines on small engines, compressors, generators, pressure washers, garden machinery, and workshop equipment. The smooth inner band helps protect hose covers during clamping, supporting a consistent seal on rubber, PVC, and similar flexible hose materials.
