ParKlamp Inch and Metric Clamping Products

So once again, we have now added Parker's complete offering of ParKlamp products. These clamping products complement our complete offering of  Parker High Pressure Tube Fittings and Hose Products. And, many are of course in-stock for same day shipment.

The ParKlamp system is designed for restraining tube, pipe and hose assemblies against unwanted and potentially harmful effects of mechanical shock and vibration forces that are common in fluid power systems. The clamping system is the most commonly overlooked aspect of fluid power system design. Failure to properly restrain the fluid conductors can result in leakage, downtime and system malfunction, as well as significantly reduce the life of tube, pipe and hose assemblies. With the ParKlamp system, the risk of problems resulting from mechanical shock and vibration can be significantly reduced.
