To ensure everything runs smoothly: Dimensions, identification and ordering Oetiker Clamps and Rings are manufactured to metric dimensions. For identification purposes, the nominal diameter is stamped on each product. Always quote the 8-digit item number when ordering. You’ll find them on the catalog pages. To determine the correct clamp diameter, push the hose onto the attaching material, (e.g. the nipple), and then measure the hose’s outer diameter. Select a clamp whose average value of the diameter range is slightly greater than the hose’s outer diameter. Tolerance compensation through clamp...
