The worm drive hose clip was invented 101 years ago by Commander Lumley Robinson and to this day the company he founded, Jubilee® Clips, still produces hose clamps of the highest quality in the UK in its two factories located in Gillingham in Kent.
Over the years, Jubilee® has extended its range of hose clips and the latest additions are both in marine grade 316 high nickel stainless steel:
As a logical edition to its range, Jubilee® Clips is now offering High Torque clips in AISI316 stainless steel, ideal for use in marine, offshore and industrial applications, where high corrosion resistance is required.
Jubilee®’s High Torque clips are made with a two part housing and cut through band, keeping the band straight at the point of engagement and fully engaging all of the screw thread, giving a superior tightening torque. All Jubilee® High Torque hose clamps have rolled edges to ensure softer hoses are not damaged as well as secure riveting of the housing for extra strength of the clips.
High Torque Clips from Jubilee® are suitable for heavy duty applications with plastic or reinforced hoses and are the only type of hose clip approved for use on reinforces hoses by Lloyds Register. The high clamping forces make this clip suitable for heavy duty applications where stubborn leakage or vibration issues make other clips and clamps unsuitable.
Jubilee® Clips has also recently added P-Clips in 316 stainless steel to its range, as customers, especially in the marine sector, have been calling for a more corrosion resistant clip for hose retention in areas which are likely to be in contact with sea water. Of course they are also ideal for offshore and high-corrosion industrial applications.
As with Jubilee®’s mild steel and 304 stainless steel P-Clips, the new AISI316 stainless steel P-Clips have an EPDM liner ensuring a superior temperature operating range, giving enhanced resistance to creep, abrasion UV and ozone weathering.
