Stepless clamp 4648/000/51 19X8

Connections of wires and flexible hoses are secured with clamp bands. Ear Clips are steel bands that are mounted and removed using special pliers. The clamp is tightened by crimping the protruding ear of the band, thereby reducing its diameter. The clamp should be selected according to the diameter of the connection, as its adjustment usually does not exceed a few millimetres. The clamps ensure the tightness of the secured connections. Flexible hoses soften and expand under the influence of temperature, which can cause leaks, for example, in a heated engine cooling system, leading to coolant leakage and engine overheating. Similarly, even a properly secured connection can leak if the clamp securing it is corroded. Corrosion weakens and breaks the clamps.
