12.8 Stepless® Ear Clamp, Oetiker PG167, Stainless Steel

Oetiker StepLess® Ear Clamps are engineered for permanent, tamper-evident hose and pipe connections in automotive, industrial, and fluid-handling applications. The patented StepLess® design eliminates steps or overlaps on the inner circumference, delivering uniform surface pressure around the entire connection for a reliable, leak-free seal. These clamps use a narrow-band profile to concentrate clamping force where it matters most, while the formed clamp ear automatically compensates for component tolerances and material relaxation. An integrated dimple increases clamping force and provides a spring effect to maintain consistent pressure through temperature changes and vibration. Available in galvanized or zinc-plated steel (PG 117) and stainless steel (PG 167), Oetiker StepLess® Ear Clamps offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Installation is fast and repeatable using Oetiker-approved hand or pneumatic tools, making them a trusted solution for high-volume asse
