Hose clips and jubilee clips are crucial components designed to seal, fix, hold, and tighten multiple hoses and are used to seal off water lines to prevent leakage out of the pipes in various maintenance and HVAC applications. Jubilee: a brand name for a British company, is the synonymic word for hose clip and is often called hose clamps or jubilee clamps. These circular bands allow easy fixation from one end using a worm gear. A hose or jubilee clip allows easy clamping and tightening that fit around the hose pipe’s neck by using a ratchet screw. These bands are then tightened by pulling the threads around the hose exterior part and fit securely. They come in various sizes, diameters, types, and materials, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
