Local source for plastic hose clamps?

[Armando]

I am looking for plastic hose clamps to be used on 1/2" ID tubes (black 1/2 ID tube sold at HD)

I got some online but they are too smal, although they were sold as 1/2" :rolleyes:

Anywhere I can pick these up retail?

Skipton's had em last time I was looking for them about 2 months ago.

I've got 4-5, how many you need?

[Jim Tansey]

The 1/2 size as sold is the outside diameter, since they don't know the wall thickness of your tube they can only specify outside size.

Yes, Jim. I then ordered the next size - 3/4". They were too big :mad:

Piscevore, wanna sell me all 4-5?

armando stainless steel hose clamps at home depot work great
the hose you have must be 1/2id and 5/8od

[Armando]

but Clam Man these are for use underwater so they would need to be plastic.

Check TAGS hardware in central square. I remember getting some of the black plastic hose clamps there. They are on the same isle as the screws and bolts but on the left side.
