Hose Clips – Zinc

Zinc hose clips are one of those things every tradesperson ends up needing in quantity. These carbon steel clips are zinc plated for corrosion resistance and conform to BS5315-1991 and DIN3017, so they meet the standard expected for moderate water pressure applications. Available in sizes ranging from 9.5-12mm up to 110-140mm, there is a size here for most hose and pipe diameters you are likely to encounter.

The worm-drive design allows the band to be tightened uniformly around the hose, giving a reliable, leak-resistant seal without crushing softer hose materials. The screw slot is standard slotted, so a flat-head screwdriver or nut spinner gets the job done quickly.

Where Zinc Hose Clips Are Used

These clips are a go-to across plumbing, heating, automotive, and general engineering work. Whether you are connecting flexi hoses to radiator tails, securing coolant pipes in a plant room, or clamping ducting and rubber hose runs on site, this type of clip covers the majority of everyday hose-securing jobs. The zinc plating offers enough protection for most indoor and sheltered outdoor installations where the clips are not exposed to prolonged standing water or aggressive chemicals.

Pack of 10

Sold in boxes of 10, these zinc hose clips are priced sensibly for trade use. If you are working through a number of connections on the same job, buying by the pack avoids the frustration of running short halfway through. Keeping a few sizes on the van is never a bad idea, and at this price point it is hard to argue against it.

With a wide size range available, you can match the clip to the actual hose diameter rather than forcing an ill-fitting clip to do a job it was not designed for. That single habit prevents most of the leaks that get blamed on the hose.
