Hose Clips
An essential accessory for plumbers, hose clips are used to secure hose piping or tubing to a fixture. Also known as jubilee clips or hose clamps, these clip fasteners are shaped like a metal ring and are usually designed with a tightening mechanism.
Thanks to their versatility, hose clips can also be used in so many other industries and applications. Hose clamps are commonly used anywhere from the automotive and engineering industries to construction, property renovation and DIY.
Hose Clamps
While they have several applications, the main purpose of hose clamps is to secure a fitting and prevent leakage at the connection. This is vital in plumbing work but equally important in other industries where hoses, tubes and pipes transport liquids, gases and chemicals.
Hose clamps are usually made from high-grade, zinc-plated metal or stainless steel to resist corrosion. Toolstation stocks a wide range of hose clips, clamps and fasteners from leading brands. Our selection includes E clips, hose clips and external circlips.
