OVERVIEW

Precision Sealing with the Binzel 171.9006 Stepless Hose Clamp

The Abicor Binzel 171.9006 Hose Clamp is a critical component for maintaining the integrity of your welding equipment's fluid and gas delivery systems. Designed with a nominal diameter of 8.00mm, this clamp utilizes advanced stepless technology to provide a superior seal compared to traditional worm-drive or standard crimp clamps. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, even minor leaks in shielding gas lines can lead to weld porosity, oxidation, and costly rework. Similarly, leaks in coolant lines can cause catastrophic failure of liquid-cooled torches. This genuine Binzel part is engineered to eliminate those risks.

The Stepless Advantage

What sets the 171.9006 apart is its "stepless" design. Traditional ear clamps often leave a small gap or step on the inner circumference where the band overlaps. This step can pinch the hose or leave a channel for fluids to escape, especially under pressure or thermal cycling. The Binzel stepless clamp features a tongue-in-groove design that ensures the inner circumference is perfectly smooth and continuous over the full 360 degrees. This results in uniform radial compression, ensuring a tight seal without damaging the soft outer layer of rubber or PVC hoses.

Application and Durability

This clamp is specifically sized for 8.00mm OD hoses, commonly found in MIG and TIG torch cable assemblies for carrying shielding gas (Argon, CO2, mixtures) and coolant water. Its low-profile geometry allows it to fit neatly inside ergonomic torch handles where space is at a premium. Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, it withstands the harsh conditions of welding shops, including exposure to heat, sparks, and chemical fluids. Whether you are repairing a damaged cable assembly or performing routine maintenance on your Abicor Binzel torch, using the correct OEM clamp ensures your equipment performs at its peak efficiency.

Installation

Installation of the 171.9006 requires a standard pair of pincers or a dedicated ear clamp crimping tool. The single-ear design allows for quick and permanent installation. Once crimped, the clamp provides a tamper-proof seal that will not loosen over time due to vibration, a common issue with screw-tightened clamps in dynamic welding environments.

FAQ

This clamp is designed for a nominal diameter of 8.00mm. It is intended for hoses with an outer diameter matching this size.

Stepless means the inner circumference of the clamp band is perfectly smooth with no gaps or steps. This ensures a 360-degree seal and prevents damage to the hose.

Yes, you will need a pair of pincers or a specific ear clamp crimping tool to properly compress the 'ear' and secure the clamp.

No, ear clamps are designed for single use. To remove them, the ear must be cut or pried open, which destroys the clamp.

Yes, while it is a genuine Binzel part, it can be used on any welding hose or tubing with an 8.00mm outer diameter.

These clamps are typically manufactured from high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion and provide strong clamping force.

Worm-drive clamps are often too bulky for torch handles and can pinch small hoses, causing leaks. This stepless clamp is low-profile and provides a uniform seal.

Using a clamp that is too large will not seal properly, leading to leaks. Using one that is too small will not fit over the hose barb. Always match the clamp to the hose OD.
