Prevost Stainless Steel Single Ear Clamp

Description

Prevost Stainless Steel Single Ear Clamp

Precision Engineering for Focused, High-Integrity Seals

The Prevost Stainless Steel Single Ear Clamp is designed for applications where space is at a premium and a consistent, concentrated clamping force is required. Unlike traditional clamps, the single-ear design offers a more compact profile and a refined “dimple” feature that increases the spring effect, ensuring the clamp maintains tension even during temperature fluctuations.

Key Features

• Compact 304 Stainless Steel: Built from high-quality stainless steel to withstand harsh environments, moisture, and chemical exposure without rusting or degrading.
• Integrated Dimple Design: The built-in dimple in the “ear” provides extra resilience, acting as a spring to maintain clamping pressure when the hose expands or contracts due to thermal changes.
• Low Profile & Space Saving: The single-ear configuration is significantly less bulky than double-ear or worm-gear clamps, making it the perfect solution for tight engine bays or crowded manifold setups.
• Uniform Compression: Engineered to provide a concentrated, symmetrical grip around the circumference of the hose, eliminating the “gaps” often found in screw-style clamps.
• Safe for Soft Hoses: Features smooth, deburred edges and a precision-fit interior to prevent pinching, shearing, or tearing of delicate silicone or rubber hoses.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Single Ear over Double Ear?

While the Double Ear clamp offers a wider range of tolerance, the Single Ear Clamp is preferred for:

1. Tight Clearances: When there isn’t enough room to crimp two sides.
2. Precision Sizing: When the hose OD is known exactly, providing a more aesthetic and streamlined finish.
3. Thermal Cycling: The dimple provides a “buffer” that maintains tension better during extreme hot/cold cycles.

Common Uses

• OEM Manufacturing: High-volume assembly lines for appliances and automotive parts.
• Pneumatic Tools: Securing lightweight air lines where a snag-free exterior is preferred.

Irrigation & Plumbing: Permanent connections for PEX or poly tubing.
