Question by: Lynn W on Jul 7, 2025, 3:29 PM
these work on vinyl tubing yeah? got some thin-wall stuff i need to clamp down and dont want to crush it
Answer by: Customer Support on Jul 9, 2025, 7:29 AM
Vinyl is actually one of the material types this clamp is built around. The smooth inner band keeps the tubing from getting pinched or deformed during installation, and the tongue-in-groove design gives you a full 360-degree seal without putting uneven stress on the wall. Just make sure your tubing falls in the 0.571 to 0.669 inch outside diameter range before ordering.

trying to swap out a clamp on some thin-wall tubing, what size hose does this one actually fit
Answer by: Customer Support on Jan 22, 2026, 6:35 AM
Fit comes down to the clamp’s clamping range, and this one is 0.571 to 0.669 inch. It’s a 17.0 mm stepless ear pinch clamp with a 0.276 inch band width, and it’s intended for low durometer or thin-walled hose and tubing like silicone, vinyl, and polyurethane.
