E-Z Clip Series Danfoss / Eaton E-Z Clip System A/C Refrigeration Products Clips

Description & Features

The E-Z Clip Series Danfoss / Eaton E-Z Clip System A/C Refrigeration Products Clips are engineered to provide a reliable solution for hose assembly in industrial refrigeration and A/C systems.

This system simplifies the assembly process, eliminating the necessity for complex tools or guesswork, and ensures secure connections without leaking crimps. Designed for use with compatible refrigerant oil, the clips can be easily installed using basic tools such as Clip Closing Pliers and a guillotine blade or equivalent cutting tool.

One of the key features is the ability to operate in confined spaces without requiring an external power source. The nipple assembly includes black o-rings of a specific rubber compound and size that must be maintained for optimal functionality.

Note that the components are designed for single-use only; proper assembly according to instructions is crucial for safety and regulatory compliance.

are these the clips that work with danfoss refrigeration fittings or do they go with eaton stuff too
Answer by: Customer Support on Nov 15, 2025, 2:52 PM
Both brands use the same E-Z Clip system, so these clips work with refrigeration products from either Danfoss or Eaton. The E-Z Clip design is compatible across both manufacturers' A/C and refrigeration lines that use this specific clip system.
