It further comes with a standard jaw pincer, all packed & organised neatly in a plastic storage case. This Oetiker 18500114 clamp kit is designed for sealing hoses against loss of air, liquid or gases in low pressure applications. The included pair of jaw pincers is suitable for clamping hose clamps in a variety of diameters and the indentation or dimple on the ear of the clamp maximises the clamping force to ensure a more secure hold. Moreover, the mechanical interlock feature of this clamp keeps it securely closed. Oetiker 18500114 clamp kit offers excellent corrosion & scaling resistance due to steel construction.

Uses:

Oetiker 18500114 clamp kit offers a wide combination of features, making it useful for low pressure applications, such as mining, agriculture, automobiles, heating, ventilation and more. The zinc plated ear clamps from Oetiker 18500114 clamp kit are used with rubber hoses, plastic tubing, electrical cables and welding hoses.

Working Mechanism:

Oetiker 18500114 clamp kit offers a thin-walled insert ring, having an oval protrusion located in the ear space, bridges the ear gap and provides a uniform compression around the circumference of a clamp. Due to the specific geometry of these zinc plated steel ear clamps in this Oetiker 18500114 clamp kit, the clamping force rises and creates a spring during the expansion or contraction of hose material in response to thermal or mechanical influences, such as temperature, vibration, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are the types of clamps that Oetikar offers?

A. Oetiker offers a wide range of hose clamps like screw, ear, spring, wire, worm and plastic clamps.

Q. How to remove an Oetiker clamp?

A. Customers can use tools, such as a side or bowl nose cutter, to remove the interlock & peel back the clamps from hoses. It is not recommended to use rotating cutters as they can cause damage to the hose while cutting the clamp.

Q. Are Oetiker clamps reusable?

A. Yes, Oetiker hose clamps like worm drive, StepLess screw & V clamps are reusable. They can be easily opened & installed anytime the requirement arises. They are ideal for maintenance & servicing in manufacturing & automotive facilities. These clamps can also be installed both radially and axially.

Q. How do we tighten a clamp?

A. To tighten a clamp, squeeze the clamp with one hand so that the end opposite the driver slides into the sleeve holding. Then, turn the driver clockwise with a wrench or screwdriver so that the threads present on the driver engage the slots on the clamp. Continue turning the driver until the clamp securely tightens around the hose.

Q. How to choose the suitable Oetiker hose clamp?

A. To check the size requirement, install the hose on pipe or fitting (which expands the hose), then check the outside diameter of the hose. Lastly, select a hose clamp that supports the hose diameter in its clamping range.

Q. How do I install this Dwyer differential pressure switch?

A.

• Mount securely in a suitable location using provided brackets or screws.
• Wire the electrical connections following the provided diagram, using appropriate terminals and connectors.
• Adjust pressure setpoints to desired values according to the manual using a screwdriver.
• Perform a functional test to ensure the switch triggers correctly within the specified range.
• Seal or protect the switch as needed based on environmental conditions & application.

Q. What should be the distance between clamps for a secure connection?

A. The recommended distance between clamps for adequate pressure is typically about 6 inches apart. This spacing is optimal for ensuring uniform pressure distribution. It's common practice to position half of the clamps on the underside of the panel and the other half on the top side. When starting, laying the bottom clamps about 12 inches apart is a common initial setup, which can then be adjusted as needed to achieve the desired clamping pressure and alignment during a particular application.

Q. Is this Oetiker clamp assortment kit corrosion-resistant?

A. It features zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance and durability in harsh weather conditions.
