Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between single ear and double ear clamps?
A. Double ear clamps provide increased clamping force, whereas single ear clamps facilitate quick and easy installation and removal.
Q. Is it better to crimp or clamp PEX?
A. For a stationary, quick and highly secure connection, crimp tools are preferred over PEX clamps. But if you require flexibility, opt for PEX clamps.
Q. How to remove an Oetiker clamp?
A. You can use tools, such as a side or bull nose cutter, for removing the interlock while peeling back the clamp from hoses. Rotating cutters are not recommended as they can damage the hose during clamp cutting.
Q. How to select the right ear clamp?
A. - Install the hose on the fitting or pipe (which expands the hose).
- Measure the OD (outside diameter) of the hose.
- Select a clamp that can accommodate that particular diameter in about the middle of its range.
