Steel Hose Clip and Rubber Ring for Irrigation Connections

Inspect the connection components

This irrigation connection accessory pairs a double-wire steel hose clip with a separate black rubber ring. The metal clip has two circular wire loops and a screw bridge for adjustment. The ring is a distinct component, so inspect the retention and sealing parts separately when planning a replacement or assembling a compatible hose connection.

Select the connection size

Available size options are 32, 40, 50, 63, 75, 90 and 110 mm. Choose against the actual hose and fitting arrangement rather than estimating from the photograph. Check the assembled outside diameter at the clip position and the seating dimensions required for the rubber ring. A nominal hose size does not always equal the outside measurement of a completed joint. Compare an existing matching assembly where possible before ordering replacement parts.

Position each part correctly

Turn the irrigation supply off and release pressure before working on the joint. Inspect the hose end and fitting seat for damage, dirt or an uneven edge. Place the rubber ring in the position required by the compatible connection, without twisting it or trapping debris beneath it. Position the wire clip squarely around the intended retention area and keep both loops seated evenly.

Check the completed hose joint

Adjust the screw gradually while watching the hose shape. Excessive force can distort a soft hose, and additional tightening cannot correct a mismatched fitting or damaged sealing seat. Restore water slowly and inspect for seepage, hose movement or uneven clip contact. If adjustment is needed, depressurize the line before handling the parts. During routine maintenance, check the wire loops, screw bridge and rubber ring for visible damage or loss of fit. Replace worn components before reconnecting the hose. Keep the connection accessible for inspection, especially where the header is moved between irrigation runs.
