Sierra 18-9146-9 Oetiker Clamp, 19.8mm ID, Bag of 10, Yamaha Outboard Fuel System
Sierra 18-9146-9 Oetiker Clamp, 19.8mm ID, Bag of 10, Yamaha Outboard Fuel System
The Sierra 18-9146-9 is a 19.8mm (25/32 inch) nominal ID Oetiker-style pinch clamp, sold in a bag of 10. Oetiker clamps use a stepless, one-piece steel band that is crimped in place with a special pincer tool, giving a smooth, low-profile band with no protruding screw housing -- a common choice for securing fuel and coolant hose connections on marine engines where a compact, vibration-resistant seal is needed. This part is used in Yamaha outboard fuel system applications. Each bag contains 10 clamps of the same 19.8mm size, and clamps are also available individually rather than only as a full bag. Sierra manufactures this part to meet or exceed the specification of the original equipment it replaces, and Sierra supplies OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders with parts on an ongoing basis. Because Oetiker clamps are sized to a specific nominal ID, it is important to confirm the 19.8mm (25/32 inch) diameter matches the hose being clamped before ordering -- Sierra also offers this same clamp style in other nominal ID sizes such as 15.7mm (5/8 inch) under a different part number.
