Oetiker 174 Series universal clamps are ideal for unpressurised retaining functions for filters, dust bags & induction hoses. These clamps are recommended for applications that involve hose tightening around a fitting, within a car engine or an industrial machinery unit. Oetiker 174 Series universal clamps feature a uniquely designed band edge for reducing the risk of damage to the hose. These universal clamps are made of stainless steel for structural rigidity & resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces, and feature small perforations to engage and keep the clamp locking mechanism in position once tightened.
