Suppliers of hose clips?

[Coaster]

I'd like to order an assortment of hose clips. Can anyone recommend a good supplier to order from, preferably online?

I understand that Jubilee and JCS are good manufacturers.

For stainless fittings and fixings I've understood that 316 grade is appropriate. Are A4 and 18/8 grades approximately the same? Perhaps someone that knows about these things could explain

When ever possible I use Mikalor Hose Clamps. They're a bit more expensive but I trust them more than a Jubilee clip as they are wider and tighten with a nut and bolt.
Just my 2p worth.

18/8 is 304 stainless, also known as A2. 316 is A4.

Your local hydraulics shop will stock or be able to order 316 hose clips including Mikalor for about one fifth of the marine price. That's where the chandlers get them from!!!!!

Thank you all. I take it there are no online suppliers. I'll avoid the 18/8 grade clips.

You can get Mikalor online via Ebay - but whichever you choose make sure they are ALL stainless - there are lots on the market that have zinc plated mild steel screws. Search on 'Stainless hose clips'.
Just checked and some of the Mikalor ones have Zinc Plated steel screws !!

Give them a call re Mikalor; from auto forums then Pirtek are a stockist

304 is fine as long as they are all stainless and no other metals for screws. Most manufacturers offer both types.

These people are very good for JCS Hi-grips - good prices and very helpful on the phone too. I bought loads for my holding tank installation.

Mikalor are probably your best bet..

I have just responded on another hose clip thread. Check with a magnet that no part of the clip attracts. Any 300 series is fine for on-board use, 304 or 316 (A2 or A4).
