Hose clamps for Oil Injection lines....

[ChrisV]

I am wanting to hook back up my oil injection system, does anybody know where I can find some of the tiny clamps that are used to secure the oil injector feed lines to the nozzles and pump. they go on the 1/8" rubber hose lines.

Zip ties work perfect! :cheers:

I tried zip ties. They didn't get a tight enough grip to secure them all the way. Oil would drip out.
I used the normal size zip tie though. Maybe if i use a smaller sized on it would work better. It was like it was between two clicks on the zip to get it tight.

You need good zip ties. Not from the dollar store. In my shop, that's all I use on the small hoses. Besides... if you buy the metal crip clamps, you HAVE TO USE THE PROPER SWEDGING TOOL TO INSTALL THEM !!!!!!!!!!! If you try to use pliers, and you get it a little tight, the hose will split, and fall off.


EDIT****

I just read my post, and it seemed harsh. Didn't mean it that way. (Sorry)

What is a good zip tie versus the normal zip tie

Good zipties are made by thomas and betts...crappy ones you get at harbor freight or the dollars store are worthless.

Usually good zip ties will have the metal locking piece in them instead of the plastic piece. Usually most industrial grade zip ties have this.
