Compressed-air accessories
For hose connections and threads in compressed-air systems: 2-ear clamps in various clamping ranges and PTFE thread seal tape with clear dimensional specifications.
Choose compressed-air accessories by task
The accessories in this category cover two typical compressed-air tasks: fastening hoses and sealing threaded connections. For the first task, 2-ear clamps and hose clamps are available in different clamping ranges. For the second, there is PTFE thread seal tape. Selection starts with the connection, followed by the exact range or dimensions of the relevant variant.
Fasten a hose
2-ear clamps and hose clamps are offered in different ranges. Specifications from 5–7 mm to 18–21 mm help select the variant according to the intended hose connection.
Seal threads
The PTFE tape is described as a 10 m roll with a 1/2-inch width and 0.1 mm thickness. It is used for connections between fittings and compressed-air components.
Compare quantities
Individual variants are offered alongside sets of 10. A set is suitable when planning several identical hose connections; the applicable clamping range must also be taken into account.
Ear clamps and hose clamps: note the clamping range
The listed ranges run from 5–7 mm through 7–9, 9–11, 11–13, 13–15, 14–17 and 15–18 mm to 18–21 mm. This allows the selection to be matched to the required clamping range. Variants with the same range may differ in pack size or additional information in the product name, such as W1 or galvanized.
Install 2-ear clamps
For several described 2-ear versions, the process is as follows: the clamp is slid onto the hose, the hose barb is inserted into the hose, and both ears are squeezed together with pliers. The product texts mention hose barbs or other hose holders. Applications include compressed-air hoses, industry, HVAC/air-conditioning technology, and mechanical and plant engineering.
PTFE thread seal tape for fittings
The Teflon tape is described as PTFE thread seal tape. The product specifications state 10 m per roll, a 1/2-inch width and 0.1 mm thickness. They mention connections between stainless-steel fittings, steel fittings, brass fittings, malleable-cast-iron fittings and compressed-air components.
Different dimensions are therefore important here compared with a hose clamp: compare the required tape width, roll length and thickness with the variant's specifications. The tape is intended for additional sealing of threaded joints; the technical key data remain clearly separate from the clamping ranges of hose clamps.
Product examples from the accessories
The following three cards show different selection criteria from the range: tape dimensions, a single clamping range and a set with a fixed number of pieces. The respective product pages list each variant with its own specifications.
Teflon tape 1/2 inch, 10 m, PTFE
With a 10 m roll length, 1/2-inch width and 0.1 mm thickness. The description mentions stainless-steel, steel, brass and malleable-cast-iron fittings as well as compressed-air components.
2-ear clamps 13–15 mm
The variant is specified with a clamping range of 13–15 mm. The product description mentions hose connections and applications in industry, HVAC/air-conditioning technology and mechanical engineering.
10-piece W1 2-ear clamp set, 18–21 mm
The set contains 10 pieces and is specified with a clamping range of 18–21 mm. The assembly description mentions hose barbs or other hose holders and the use of pliers.

Frequently asked questions about selection
Which clamping range fits my hose?
Match the required clamping range to the relevant specification. The listed ranges are 5–7, 7–9, 9–11, 11–13, 13–15, 14–17, 15–18 and 18–21 mm. The selected product variant should match the required range of the hose connection.
How is a 2-ear clamp installed?
For the described versions, the clamp is slid onto the hose. The hose barb is then inserted into the hose, and both ears are squeezed together with pliers. This process is stated in the product descriptions for fastening hoses.
When is a 10-piece set useful?
The product data list sets of 10 for the 18–21 mm and 9–11 mm ranges. When several identical fastenings are needed, a set provides 10 clamps. For a single connection, a variant without this set designation may be suitable.
What are the dimensions of the PTFE thread seal tape?
The Teflon tape is specified as 10 m per roll, 1/2-inch width and 0.1 mm thickness. It is described as thread seal tape for connections between different fittings and compressed-air components.
