How to Choose Sealey Hose Clips & Clamps
Select a hose clip by the actual outside diameter of the assembled hose, the clamp style, material and the demands of the application.
Measure the hose as it will be clamped
The useful dimension is the outside diameter over the hose and fitting, not simply the nominal hose bore.
Measure at the fitting
Measure the outside diameter of the hose where it sits over the tail or spigot.
Use the correct range
Choose a clip whose working range comfortably includes the measured diameter.
Match the environment
Consider corrosion exposure, temperature, vibration and the service medium when selecting material and clamp type.
Tighten correctly
Position the clip squarely over the hose connection and follow the product guidance rather than overtightening.
Why nominal hose size is not enough
A hose expands when fitted over a tail, so the clamp must suit the outside diameter at the actual clamping point. Clamp construction also matters where vibration, corrosion or repeated servicing are factors.
Information to check before ordering
- Outside diameter over the fitted hose
- Required clamp range
- Hose and fitting material
- Environment and corrosion exposure
- Vibration or movement
- Required clamp type and installation tool
Avoid the expensive shortcut
Similar-looking products are not automatically interchangeable. Use the product reference and application information together rather than selecting from appearance alone.
Choose by the job, not just the product name
These broad groups explain the main differences to think about before you jump into the product directory.
Worm-drive hose clips
Adjustable clips covering a defined diameter range; useful for many general hose-retention applications.
O-clips / ear clamps
Provide a compact clamping method and normally require the correct installation pincers or tool.
Assortments
Useful where maintenance work involves several common hose sizes, provided each clip is still selected within its proper working range.

Quick answers before you choose
Should I use the hose bore to choose the clip?
No. Measure the outside diameter where the hose is fitted over the connection.
Can I use a clip at the very end of its size range?
A clip should operate comfortably within its stated range. If your measurement is borderline, verify the next suitable size rather than forcing the fit.
Why does clip material matter?
Material affects corrosion resistance and suitability for the working environment. Select for the actual conditions.
