The choice of clamps depends on several factors, such as the outer diameter of the hose, the purpose of use and the environment in which they are used. It is important to consider the following points when choosing the right compression sleeve:
- Hose diameter: Choose a clamping sleeve whose size corresponds to the outside diameter of the hose. A clamp that is too small will not reach around the hose and a clamp that is too large will leave the connection loose. The best choice is a clamp that just fits over the hose.
- Purpose: The type and material of the tensioning clip depends on the purpose of use. For example, in high-pressure environments, you need a tensioning tube that is designed to withstand high pressure.
- Environment: The materials of tensioning tubes can vary depending on the environment in which they are used. If you use the hose in an environment containing chemicals, you need an acid-resistant compression sleeve.
- Quality: Always choose a high-quality compression sleeve designed to withstand long-term use and wear. Stainless steel clips are usually very durable.
- Installation: Pay attention to the installation of the tensioning clip. In some cases, you may need special tools, so make sure you have the necessary tools available.
If you are unsure about which compression sleeve best suits your needs, you can ask for advice from professionals or specialist shops.
