Overview
The Oetiker 0811 is a precision-engineered double-ear pinch-on hose clamp designed for reliable fluid transfer applications. This clamp features a 3/8″ nominal size and operates within a clamping range of 0.319″ closed to 0.433″ open, making it suitable for hose and tube connections in industrial, automotive, HVAC, and fluid handling systems. The 0.275″ band width ensures secure contact without deformation. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the Oetiker 0811 resists corrosion and maintains strength across temperature variations. Each box contains 100 clamps, providing ready-to-use inventory for high-volume applications.
