1-1/4 in Stainless Steel Oetiker 425R One-Ear Crimp Clamp
Reliable stainless steel one-ear crimp clamp designed for secure, low-profile connections on 1-1/4 in nominal hose and poly pipe. The 425R (Oetiker 15500027) delivers a visible mechanical interlock with burr-free edges and a compact ear closure for long-term corrosion resistance in irrigation, agricultural, and general fluid-handling applications.
- Material: Stainless steel (UNS S30400 / 1.4301) for corrosion resistance in outdoor and moist environments.
- Nominal size: 1-1/4 in (designed for standard 1.25" poly pipe/hose).
- Band & profile: 7.0 mm band width, 0.6 mm band thickness for consistent sealing force and low profile.
- Clamping type: Single-ear crimp with mechanical interlock; dimpled ear provides increased clamping force and visible deformation to confirm closure.
- Typical open/closed diameters: Approx. open 1.675 in, closed 1.55 in — suitable for standard nominal 1-1/4 in fittings (verify against your tubing dimensions).
- Applications: Irrigation, drip systems, agricultural tubing, poly pipe assemblies, and general low- to moderate-pressure hose connections.
Install with an Oetiker-compatible pincer or force-monitored crimp tool and verify ear deformation visually. These clamps form a permanent, tamper-resistant seal; they are ideal where a compact, 360-degree seal is needed. Not recommended for systems rated above 100 PSI—use a worm-gear or screw-type clamp for higher-pressure applications.
