Installation Instructions:

1. Select Compatible Hose: Confirm that the hose or tubing’s outer diameter is within the supported range (typically 9mm to 15mm).

2. Slide Hose Clip Over Hose: Before connecting the hose to the fitting, slide the hose clip onto the hose body.

3. Attach Hose to Fitting: Push the hose onto the pipe, nozzle, or fitting securely.

4. Position the Clip: Move the clip over the fitting area and ensure it is centered for optimal sealing.

5. Tighten the Clip: Use a flathead screwdriver or a 7mm hex driver to rotate the screw clockwise. Do not overtighten, especially when working with plastic tubing or soft rubber hoses.

6. Verify Connection: Check that the hose is held securely and test for leaks by running fluid through the system. Re-tighten slightly if needed.

Care and Maintenance:

• Periodic Checks: Regularly inspect for rust, wear, or loosening, particularly in high-vibration or moisture-exposed environments.

• Cleaning: Wipe the clip with a clean cloth after exposure to dirt, chemicals, or liquids. Avoid abrasive cleaning products.

• Storage: Keep in a dry, clean area to prevent premature corrosion—particularly for zinc-plated steel variants.

• Reuse Guidelines: Hose clips may be reused if the band remains flat and free from distortion and the screw threads are intact. Discard any clips that show signs of metal fatigue or thread damage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: What does the "00" size code mean?
The "00" designation refers to the clip's classification within the Securplumb range. In this context, it corresponds to a 13mm diameter clip suitable for hoses with an outer diameter of approximately 9mm to 15mm. It serves as a reference for quick selection and compatibility.

Q2: Can this hose clip be used for air lines or compressed gas hoses?
Yes, this hose clip is suitable for low-pressure air and gas lines, provided the hose diameter matches and proper tightening is achieved. It should not be used on high-pressure systems without manufacturer confirmation.

Q3: Is this suitable for marine environments?
The stainless steel version is highly resistant to rust and is well-suited for marine and wet environments. Zinc-plated versions are more appropriate for dry, indoor use and may corrode over time when exposed to moisture.

Q4: Can this hose clip be used on plastic tubing?
Yes, it is compatible with most plastic tubing. However, care must be taken during tightening to avoid cracking or compressing the tubing too much, which can lead to damage or leaks.

Q5: Can this be hand-tightened without tools?
No. While it may be possible to start the tightening process by hand, proper installation requires a screwdriver or hex driver to apply adequate and even pressure.

Q6: How many times can this hose clip be reused?
There is no set limit, but clips may be reused multiple times if they are kept in good condition. Inspect before each reuse to ensure the band is not deformed and the screw threads have not been stripped.

Q7: Does the pre-packed format affect product performance?
No. The pre-packed format is designed for convenience and cleanliness. It does not alter the mechanical function of the clip. It ensures the clip is protected from dust, corrosion, or damage prior to use.
