The Micro Matic 170SL is a professional-grade Oetiker® stepless ear clamp designed to provide a permanent, 360-degree leak-proof seal for your draft beverage and gas lines. Specifically sized for 5/16" I.D. vinyl (PVC) tubing, this 17.0mm clamp is the gold standard for draft system integrity. Unlike traditional worm-gear clamps that can cause "flat spots" or uneven pressure, the stepless design ensures uniform compression around the entire circumference of the hose. This is essential for preventing slow CO2 leaks and ensuring a sanitary, high-pressure connection that won't loosen over time due to temperature fluctuations in your kegerator or walk-in cooler.
