Nylon Hose Clips

Anyone any experience of the new nylon hose clips used on some modern cars ? Basically a circle of nylon with two 'crocodile mouths' that you push into each other. Do they actually hold under pressure? Where can you get them? I've found a source of undisclosed sized mixed packs (

)but not specific sized ones. I even considered multiple thick ty-wraps but it seems a bit crude.

I have an application currently using a normal Jubilee clip that is in a strong alternating magnetic field, and this is inducing circulating currents in the clip that are warming it up to the point it softens the hose it is clipping !

Look at someone like Heyco or Richco, they do this sort of thing.

Heyco are down near Bournemouth, Richco are in the Dartford area.

We deal with both.

is a range of sizes.

I've used the smaller ones (7mm) but have not been too impressed - went back to a pair of tywraps. In awkward spaces they can be difficult to tighten as any side force pushes the two ends apart sideways.

Peter,

Thanks for the feedback - I've ordered some from Farnell and will trial them. They call them Herbie clips or some such odd name.
