Securing a powerful connection

Tom Parker Ltd are delighted to announce its official appointment as Authorised UK Distributor for Oetiker. Swiss-based leader in connection technology and the original inventor of the ear clamp.

The innovative connection technology from Oetiker provides a dependable solution across many industries and applications. These include automotive, aftermarket, industrial, plumbing, medical treatment lines, food and beverage, home appliances, irrigation and crop watering systems, and electric vehicle chargers. They are also commonly used with flexible and inflexible thin-walled, rubber and welding hose, plastic tubing, and electrical cables.

Oetiker have made significant advancements over the years, introducing new technologies like the DualHook Adjustable 259 range, which feature an innovative internal StepLess smooth clamp. It provides additional flexibility and strength, so is perfect for use in demanding high-performance applications.

Another innovative connection solution is the StepLess 167 series ear clamp, with a high Rockwell rating due to being manufactured in stainless steel. Oetiker has removed steps from the inside of the clamp to ensure a secure, smooth, leak-free seal, uniform 360° compression, and continuous surface pressure around the clamp diameter.

Prestigious brands such as Audi, Mercedes, and Volkswagen use Oetiker clamps in their drive shaft and engine thermal management applications and have migrated seamlessly to their e-platforms.

Impressively, almost every car manufactured globally contains Oetiker clamps, with 90 million new passenger vehicles fitted annually with their fail-safe premium quality components.
