Baks spring clamp ZSU2 for hose diameters 8–14 mm (797901)

Baks spring clamp ZSU2 for hose diameters 8–14 mm is a compact, tool-actuated clamp engineered to secure flexible hoses such as coolant, vacuum or fuel lines. The clamp uses a formed spring-steel band to maintain constant radial pressure on the hose, providing a reliable seal while allowing for quick installation and removal. Its small profile and consistent clamping force make it suitable for workshop repairs, maintenance tasks and OEM replacement where space is limited and dependable hose retention is required.

Advantages

The spring-steel construction ensures uniform tension around the hose circumference and resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling. The clamp’s design enables fast application with pliers or a suitable tool, reducing assembly time and simplifying service procedures. Its compact size minimizes interference with adjacent components and is compatible with hoses within the specified 8–14 mm outer diameter range.

Suitable for

• Securing coolant hoses in automotive and light commercial applications
• Retaining vacuum and breather lines
• Fast repairs and routine maintenance in workshops
• OEM replacement where a compact spring clamp is required

Key specifications

• Hose outer diameter range: 8–14 mm
• Material: spring steel band for elastic radial pressure
• Type: spring/constant-tension clamp suitable for small-diameter hoses
• Profile: low-profile design to reduce component interference
• Operation: tool-actuated for installation and removal (pliers or similar)

How to use

Position the clamp over the hose at the desired sealing point, ensuring the clamp sits evenly around the hose and the fitting. Compress the clamp ends with suitable pliers or a designated spring-clamp tool until the clamp expands enough to slip over the hose or fitting, then release the tool so the clamp contracts and applies radial pressure. For removal, compress the clamp ends again to relieve tension and slide it off the hose. Inspect the hose and mating parts for damage before reassembly and replace the clamp if the band shows signs of wear, corrosion or loss of spring tension.

Usage recommendations

Use the clamp only on hoses within the specified 8–14 mm outer diameter range and choose corrosion-resistant alternatives where prolonged exposure to chemicals or moisture is expected. Verify seating and torque where applicable, and avoid over-compressing the clamp beyond its elastic limit to maintain reliable sealing performance.
