Jubilee Clips
Adjustable worm-drive hose clamps for securing hoses to pump outlets, pipe stubs, fittings, and connectors in construction, site, plumbing, and general engineering applications. The worm-drive mechanism tightens the band evenly around the hose, compressing it against the fitting to create a secure, leak-resistant connection without specialist tools. Available in six sizes from 22mm to 90mm to cover the full range of common hose and pipe diameters encountered on construction sites and in mechanical, agricultural, and facilities management applications.
How the worm-drive mechanism creates a secure leak-resistant hose connection
A push-fit hose connection relies on friction alone to hold the hose on the fitting. Under pump pressure or vibration, friction connections can pull free and create an immediate leak. A jubilee clip applies mechanical clamping pressure uniformly around the full circumference of the hose wall, compressing it against the fitting's outer diameter. The worm-drive screw maintains that pressure indefinitely without the clip backing off under vibration or fluctuating pressure. For pump discharge connections, dewatering hose fittings, and any application where a hose connection must hold under positive water pressure, a jubilee clip is the correct fastening method.
Key Features
-
Worm-drive mechanism: Tightens evenly around the hose circumference using a standard flat-head or hex-head screwdriver. No specialist tools required.
-
Adjustable clamping range: Each clip adjusts across a range of diameters, covering slight variations in hose wall thickness and fitting diameter within the stated size.
-
Indoor and outdoor use: Suitable for construction sites, plant rooms, agricultural applications, and general engineering environments.
-
Six sizes available: 14-22mm, 17-25mm, 25-35mm, 35-45mm, 40-60 mm, 70-90mm covering the most common hose and pipe diameters on construction sites.
-
Secure fit: Mechanical clamping pressure holds the hose connection under positive water pressure and pump vibration.

Who is this for
Site managers, groundworkers, plumbers, plant hire operators, and general tradespeople requiring a reliable hose clamp for securing hoses to pump outlets, pipe stubs, and fittings across a range of diameters. The six-size range covers the most common hose diameters encountered on construction sites, from small bore connections at 22mm through to 3" layflat pump discharge hose connections at 70-90mm.
Typical applications
-
Securing layflat discharge hose to the outlet stub of a site submersible pump, replacing or supplementing the jubilee clips supplied with the hose.
-
Connecting and securing rubber hose to pipe stubs and fittings in plumbing and heating installations.
-
Fastening irrigation hose to water supply connections on agricultural sites.
-
Securing radiator and coolant hoses in plant and machinery maintenance.
-
General hose and pipe connection work in facilities management, site maintenance, and light engineering.
How to use
Step 1: Select the correct clip size. The clip diameter should match the outer diameter of the hose once it is pushed onto the fitting. If in doubt, measure the hose outer diameter and select the clip that covers that measurement within its adjustment range.
Step 2: Slide the clip over the hose end before pushing the hose onto the fitting. The clip cannot be added after the hose is in position.
Step 3: Push the hose fully onto the fitting stub until it seats against the shoulder or bead.
Step 4: Slide the clip back along the hose until it sits approximately 5 to 10mm from the end of the hose, centred over the fitting stub.
Step 5: Tighten the worm-drive screw using a flat-head screwdriver or compatible hex key. Tighten progressively and evenly until the band grips the hose firmly against the fitting. Do not overtighten as this can cut into the hose wall.
Step 6: Check the connection for leaks once the hose is under pressure. Re-tighten if any weeping is observed at the connection point.
Common mistakes
-
Selecting the wrong size: a clip that is too large will not compress the hose fully against the fitting and will allow leaks. A clip that is too small cannot be fitted over the hose. Measure the hose outer diameter before ordering.
-
Fitting the clip after the hose is on the stub: the clip must be slid over the hose end before the hose is pushed onto the fitting. It cannot be opened up and added afterwards.
-
Overtightening: excessive torque on the worm-drive screw can cut through the hose wall, damage the fitting, or strip the worm-drive thread. Tighten until secure, not as tight as possible.
-
Not positioning the clip over the fitting stub: a clip positioned at the very end of the hose, beyond the fitting, does not secure the connection. Position it to sit centrally over the fitting body.
Safety
Do not use jubilee clips on high-pressure hydraulic connections. These clips are suitable for general water, plumbing, and low-pressure hose applications. Confirm material suitability before use with chemicals or aggressive substances. Always check connections for leaks before leaving a hose run unattended under pressure.
Maintenance
Inspect clips for corrosion, damaged threads, or cracked bands before reuse. A damaged clip should be replaced rather than reused. Where clips are used on outdoor or exposed installations, inspect periodically and re-tighten if loosening is observed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size jubilee clip do I need?
A: Measure the outer diameter of the hose once it is pushed onto the fitting, not the hose alone and not the fitting alone. Select the clip whose size covers that measurement. For example, a 2" (51mm) layflat hose pushed onto a pump outlet stub will have an outer diameter of approximately 55 to 60mm at the connection point, making the HOSCLIP60 the correct selection. If in doubt, size up rather than down.
Q: Which clip size fits a 2" layflat hose on a pump outlet?
A: The HOSCLIP60 (60mm) is the correct size for securing a 2" (51mm) internal diameter layflat discharge hose to a 2" pump outlet stub. The HOSCLIP90 (70-90mm range) is the correct size for a 3" (76mm) layflat hose on a 3" pump outlet.
Q: Can jubilee clips be used outdoors?
A: Yes. Jubilee clips are suitable for indoor and outdoor applications including exposed site conditions. Where long-term outdoor exposure to moisture or corrosive environments is expected, confirm the clip material is appropriate for the environment. Inspect periodically and replace if corrosion is observed.
Q: How tight should a jubilee clip be?
A: Tighten until the band compresses the hose firmly against the fitting and the connection shows no leaks under pressure. Over-tightening cuts into the hose wall or strips the worm-drive thread. The correct torque is firm, not maximum effort.
Q: Can I reuse jubilee clips?
A: Yes, provided the clip band is undamaged and the worm-drive thread is in good condition. Inspect before reuse. Replace any clip with a cracked band, corroded body, or stripped thread. Clips that have been significantly overtightened may have deformed and should not be reused on a new connection.
Q: Are these clips suitable for high-pressure hydraulic connections?
A: No. Jubilee clips are not rated for high-pressure hydraulic applications. Use purpose-made hydraulic hose fittings and crimped connections for hydraulic systems. These clips are suitable for water, plumbing, and general low-pressure hose applications.
