Snapper Hose Clamps are lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Manufactured from high-performance thermoplastic materials selected to work well in a variety of diverse environments. A quick ratchet closure provides for reduced assembly line time and allows for application after connection of the hose. Release is achieved by initiating opposed lateral movement of the ratchet ends. Heat stabilized materials are available for high-temperature, motor, and under-hood applications. Snappers are also stable in a wide variety of chemicals including salts, bases, alcohols, ethers, detergents, gasoline, lubricating oils, and greases. The Snapper is available in 32 standard sizes ranging from 1/4" to 4-1/2" ID. Snappers are manufactured in white polyacetal and black polyamide 6.6 glass filled impact modified heat stabilized material. Custom designed and different colored or shaped Snappers are available based upon applications and volume requirements.
