Hose Clips & Jubilee Clips

Hose clips and Jubilee clips are essential components used to secure flexible hoses to rigid pipework, ensuring tight, leak-proof connections across various systems. These circular bands are typically tightened by a screw or bolt mechanism that reduces the diameter of the band to grip the hose firmly in place.

Often referred to generically as Jubilee clamps, these fasteners are commonly used in automotive, plumbing, industrial, and heavy-duty settings.

Types of Hose Clips & Jubilee Clamps

Hose clips and Jubilee clamps come in a variety of types, each suited for specific applications, pressure ratings, and hose materials. Below are the most common types:

Worm Drive Hose Clips

The most common type, worm drive hose clips, use a slotted band and a screw mechanism to tighten the clamp around the hose. Ideal for general-purpose sealing in automotive and plumbing applications.

O Clips (Ear Clamps)

These are single-use hose clamps that provide a permanent seal. They are crimped into place using pincers, often used in compressed air, fuel, and low-pressure systems.

Bolt Drive Hose Clamps (T-Bolt Clamps)

Designed for high-pressure applications, T-bolt or bolt drive clamps use a bolt and nut assembly to apply uniform pressure.

Snap Grip Hose Locks (Herbie Clips)

Made from plastic and ideal for lightweight, non-critical applications, Herbie clips use a ratcheting mechanism to snap into place. Commonly used in irrigation and small-diameter tubing.

Quick-Release Jubilee Clips

These hose clips feature a latch mechanism for fast installation or removal without fully loosening the screw. Ideal for maintenance tasks and adjustable systems.

Pipe Tube Clamps

Used to secure pipes or hoses to surfaces or frameworks, pipe tube clamps provide structural support and are common in HVAC or hydraulic installations.

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Hose & Jubilee Clamps

When selecting a hose clip or Jubilee clamp, consider the following:

• Material: Stainless hose clips are ideal for corrosion resistance. Other options include mild steel, brass, and nylon depending on environment and pressure requirements.
• Size: Ensure the clamp matches the hose diameter to guarantee a secure and leak-free fit.
• Application Type: Choose heavy duty Jubilee clips for industrial settings and lighter options for domestic or small-scale use.
• Operating Pressure: Bolt drive clamps offer better performance under high-pressure conditions.
• Ease of Use: Quick release options are ideal where frequent disconnection is required.
• Standards Compliance: Look for certifications like ISO 9001 and DIN 3017 to ensure product reliability and safety

Applications of Hose Clips & Jubilee Clips

• Automotive and Vehicle Maintenance: Used to secure fuel lines, coolant hoses, and air intakes.
• Plumbing: Create watertight seals on flexible pipes and connectors.
• Agricultural Uses: Secure irrigation hoses and farm machinery components.
• Food and Beverage Industry: Stainless hose clips are used in hygienic, corrosion-resistant connections.
• HVAC Systems: Fasten ducting, pipes, and flexible tubing in heating and ventilation units.
