Choose correct material type and diameter clamp to best satisfy the needs of the application. Installation of two BAND-IT Center Punch Clamps per hose end is suggested. Place clamps over hose, then install fitting. Note the location of the fitting’s hose barbs in order to locate clamps between barbs for maximum fitting retention.
Center Punch Tool For best results and proper functioning of the GRSM17 air tool, a filter / lubricator must be used on the air supply or in line within 30 feet of the air tool. The warranty is voided if a filter / lubricator is not used.
