Fuel Line Hose Clamps

Hose clips and clamps are devices used to attach and secure a hose onto a fitting, such as a barb or nipple. They are typically made from metal, such as stainless steel or galvanized steel, and are designed to tightly grip the hose and fitting in order to prevent the hose from slipping off or leaking. Hose clips and clamps are used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and domestic settings.

There are several different types of hose clips and clamps available, each with its own unique characteristics and uses. For example, worm drive hose clips are commonly used in automotive and industrial applications because they are easy to install and provide a strong, secure connection. These clips feature a screw-like design that tightens around the hose and fitting as the screw is turned, creating a tight seal. Another popular type of hose clip is the T-bolt clamp, which uses a bolt and nut system to clamp the hose onto a fitting. T-bolt clamps are often used in high-pressure applications because they can provide a very strong and secure connection.

In terms of technical characteristics, hose clips and clamps are typically rated for use at specific pressure and temperature ranges. For example, a hose clip may be rated for use at pressures up to 100 pounds per square inch (PSI) and temperatures up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to choose the right type of hose clip or clamp for the specific application in order to ensure that the connection is secure and able to withstand the expected operating conditions.

What is a mini fuel hose clip?

A compact worm drive clip with a 9mm band, 0.6mm thick, designed for small-diameter fuel, oil, air and water hoses. The narrower, thinner band suits small bores where a standard 12mm clip would be clumsy and would distort the hose rather than clamping it evenly.

What sizes do you stock?

11 adjustment ranges from 7mm to 9mm up to 18mm to 20mm, in W1 zinc plated and W4 stainless, in singles, 10 packs, 100 packs and an assorted box. Size to the outside diameter of the hose once fitted over the pipe, aiming for the middle of the clip's range.

Why not just use a small standard clip?

A standard 12mm band is too wide and too stiff for a 7mm hose - it does not follow the curve evenly and tends to pinch. The mini clip's narrower, thinner band conforms properly to a small bore and applies even pressure, which is what actually seals a small fuel joint.

W1 or W4 for a fuel line?

W4 stainless. A fuel line sits in an engine bay, and a corroded clip on a fuel joint is not something to leave to chance - quite apart from being unable to undo it when the hose eventually needs changing. The extra cost is negligible in a 10 or 100 pack.

How tight should they be?

Firm, not crushed. Small-bore hose is easy to over-tighten because there is so little material - and a band cutting into a fuel hose is exactly the failure you were trying to prevent. Nip up until the hose is evenly compressed, then re-check after the first few heat cycles.

Do I need two clips per joint?

On a boat, or on any fuel line in an enclosed space, yes - two stainless clips per joint is what the standard expects. On a road vehicle, one properly sized and correctly positioned clip per end is normal practice, provided the hose is fully home on the barb.
