The 15/32 in. Nominal 1-Ear Hose Clamp is a single-ear stainless steel ear (pinch) clamp that creates a permanent, 360° leak-free seal by mechanically deforming the raised ear(s) with a pinch clamp tool. Unlike worm-drive clamps, ear clamps cannot be loosened after crimping — the seal is permanent and vibration-proof. The single ear draws the band tight in one crimp — the standard choice for most hose-to-barb and hose-to-tube connections.
