Description
Keep the tube on its fitting
In a correctly matched irrigation joint, the fitting sits inside the tube and the clamp closes around the outside. This compact ring adds retention without a screw housing.
Designed for 16mm outside-diameter LDPE irrigation tube, it closes by hand using the curved grips and toothed locking jaws.
Choose 1 or 100 clamps. The installation illustrates two clamps on a two-sided joint; pipe, joiner and plants are not included.
Teeth that lock together
The product photo shows the smooth ring and serrated locking jaws. Squeezing the grips engages the teeth with each other, holding the ring closed around the pipe. They are not designed to bite into or puncture the tube wall.
Choose by the tube’s outside diameter. A pipe sold by a 16mm internal bore is a different size. The clamp also needs to close correctly around the tube once its matching barbed fitting is inserted.
Seat the tube fully and position the clamp over the supported connection, following the tubing system’s instructions. A clamp adds retention; it cannot correct the wrong fitting size or a damaged tube end.
Fit, close and check
Make the pipe connection
Isolate the supply, release pressure and check the tube and fitting match. Seat a clean, sound tube end fully on the fitting before clamping.
Engage the locking jaws
Position the clamp where the fitting supports the tube. Squeeze the grips so the jaws interlock and the band holds the joint securely without damaging the pipe.
Inspect before watering
Check the clamp is engaged and the pipe is supported. Restore water within the pipe and fitting system’s limits and inspect the joint. Depressurise again before releasing or repositioning it.
Choosing and using the clamp
Is 16mm the pipe’s inside diameter?
No. This clamp is specified for 16mm outside-diameter LDPE irrigation pipe. Check the actual tube specification and its fit over the connector; do not choose a clamp solely from a hose-bore label.
Are the 1 and 100 options different sizes?
No. They are pack quantities of the same clamp. Select one clamp for a small job or 100 for multiple joints. Pipe and connectors are not included in either option.
Can I reopen the clamp?
Yes. With the water isolated and the line depressurised, twist the locking ends apart to disengage the jaws. Inspect the band and teeth before reuse; replace a damaged clamp or one that no longer locks properly.
Does the clamp make any hose joint leak-proof?
No. A sound joint needs compatible tube and fitting dimensions, correct seating and suitable retention. The clamp does not repair damaged pipe or create a pressure rating for the assembly. Use the operating limits specified for the complete tubing system.
