Clamp Identification
Use Oetiker clamps for making hose connections.
These clamps provide corrosion resistance, mini-
mize the potential for abrasion of rigging compo-
nents, and provide solid, permanent connections.
The selection and installation of an Oetiker clamp
is essential in the proper sealing of hose connec-
tions. The clamp identification numbers appear on
the side of the clamp, near the top of the ear.
Refer to
Oetiker Clamp Chart on p. 54 for dimen-
sions.
Clamp Selection
To select the correct size Oetiker clamp, measure
the outside diameter of the hose when installed on
the fitting.
Chose a clamp so that the outside diameter of the
hose is approximately in the middle of the clamp-
ing range of the clamp.
Refer to Oetiker Clamp Chart on p. 54.
Clamp Installation
A constant stress should be applied to close the
ear clamps. This method ensures a positive stress
on the hose and does not result in excessive com-
pression or expansion of the band material.
IMPORTANT:
Use only Oetiker recommended
tools to close Oetiker stepless clamps.
Oetiker pincers are available in the Evin-
rude/Johnson Genuine Parts and Accessories
Catalog
