Oetiker 177 Series clamps are designed for fastening pipes & securing hoses in non critical, low to medium pressure applications. By clamping down the hose, these gear clamps prevent the fluid from leaking through the connection. Oetiker worm drive clamps are suitable for both low & medium pressure range applications to secure the flow of gases, liquids and chemicals. These clamps provide static tension to the hose & fitting for preventing slippage. The design of these gear clamps is simple yet effective at clamping solid fittings to pliable hoses. Oetiker worm drive clampsoffer a wide clamping range which means the same sized clamp is suitable for various joint diameters. The design of these worm drive clamps ensures that the clamp grips the hose / fitting evenly throughout the circumference once installed and also prevents the chances of clamp loosening from external vibrations. Oetiker 177 Series worm drive clamps have 301 stainless steel construction that makes them an ideal choice for harsh outdoor conditions & abrasive industrial environments. These clamps feature a stainless steel hex head screw for securely adjusting & clamping the clamps in position. Oetiker 177 Series worm drive clamps are available in various diameter ranges on Raptor Supplies. The brand also offers various screw style clampsfor applications that require clamp flexibility & frequent adjustments.
