Buying advice

When selecting ear clamps, consider the material compatibility with your fluid (SS for corrosion, zinc for dry applications), ensure you have the correct installation tool (Oetiker or similar pliers), and match the clamp range to your hose diameter. Step-less designs offer more even compression but cost more. For high-pressure or thermal cycling, constant torque or premium stainless steel clamps are recommended.
