Q 1. How do I know whether the HGZ160BG will fit my hose?

A. It adjusts between 130-160mm. Measure the outside diameter of your hose when fitted over its pipe or fitting - if that measurement falls within 130-160mm, this clip fits. JCS clips offer a larger adjustment range per size than typical nut-and-bolt clamps. In imperial terms that is roughly 5 1/8 to 6 5/16 in, covering common 6 in hose sizes.

Q 2. How tight should this hose clip be?

A. JCS recommends 6.0 Nm (54 lb-in) for this size. Position the clip centrally over the hose barb and tighten incrementally to that torque - over-tightening can damage the hose.

Q 3. Is a zinc plated clip OK for marine use?

A. JCS advises against zinc plated clips in marine conditions, where they can corrode or seize. For boats and other saltwater environments use Hi-Grip Stainless, which is 18/8 marine-quality 304 stainless steel with Lloyd's Register Type Approval.

Q 4. What are these clips used for?

A. The zinc plated Hi-Grip is JCS's general purpose worm drive clip for domestic, automotive and industrial hose connections in non-corrosive environments. JCS clips are used across the automotive sector and by leading agricultural machinery manufacturers.

Q 5. How do I choose the right hose clip?

A. JCS recommends asking three questions: what is the hose carrying (water, fuel, chemicals, air)? What pressure and temperature will it see? And is the environment corrosive? The answers drive material choice - zinc plated for general non-corrosive use, stainless for corrosive environments - then match the clip's range to the fitted hose diameter.

Q 6. Do worm drive hose clips come loose over time?

A. JCS designs against it: the hex screw is cold-headed and work-hardened with rolled threads, so it holds its setting and will not round off. On high-vibration equipment, JCS's guidance is to recheck the clip after service to keep the seal intact.

Q 7. How many clips are in this pack?

A. This is a pack of 10 clips, all 130-160mm adjustment range. Other pack formats of the same clip are listed separately.

Q 8. What payment methods do you accept?

A. We accept all major credit and debit cards, along with PayPal.

Q 9. When will my order be dispatched?

A. In-stock orders placed before 14:30 Monday to Friday are usually dispatched the same day.
