MEDILAB Snapper Clamps are precision-engineered plastic clamps designed to securely hold and stabilize hoses, tubing, and laboratory connections. Their self-locking snap mechanism provides quick, reliable fastening without tools, making them essential for fluid handling systems, benchtop setups, and industrial equipment. Durable, corrosion-proof, and easy to operate, these clamps ensure leak-free connections and consistent performance in laboratories and production environments.

Key Features

• Made from high-strength acetal plastic that will not rust, corrode, or degrade
• Snap-fit locking mechanism ensures firm, vibration-resistant grip
• Lightweight yet robust, suitable for both laboratory and industrial use
• Smooth internal profile protects tubing from compression damage
• Reusable and easy to open/close for quick adjustments
• Chemical and moisture resistant, ideal for demanding applications
• Available in multiple sizes to fit a wide range of hoses and barbed fittings

Material Specifications

• Material: Acetal (POM – Polyoxymethylene)
• Thermal Properties: Stable up to moderate operating temperatures; not recommended for autoclaving
• Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, solvents, alcohols, weak acids, and bases
• Mechanical Strength: High rigidity, low friction, excellent dimensional stability
• Standards: Manufactured in compliance with ISO 9001:2015 quality systems

Technical Specifications

• Sizes Available: Sizes 1.5, 4, 6, and 8 mm (assortment set includes 24 clamps—6 of each size)
• Dimensions: Precision-moulded to fit standard laboratory and industrial tubing
• Tolerance: Uniform moulding ensures consistent clamping pressure
• Calibration: Not applicable (mechanical clamp)
• Accessories: Supplied as clamp-only units; no additional components required

Handling & Precautions

• Ensure the clamp is fully snapped into place for a secure hold
• Not suitable for high-temperature sterilisation; avoid autoclaving
• Clean with mild detergents; avoid harsh solvents that may affect surface finish
• Do not force open the clamp; use thumb pressure to release smoothly
• Store in cool, dry conditions to maintain mechanical strength
• Avoid exposure to strong oxidising agents

 Applications

• Securing tubing and hoses in chemical, biological, and analytical laboratories
• Fluid transfer setups in pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech research, and QC/QA labs
• Fixing connections in pilot plants, process equipment, and industrial fluid systems
• Holding glassware, adapters, or jointed components in benchtop arrangements
• Useful in academic institutes for general laboratory experiments and demonstrations
