Talk:Hose clamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ok, I'm sick of writing about hose clamps. :)
This article needs pictures to help explain the different clamp types, and probably needs a lot more added to it. External links to common suppliers might be good. more internal links. etc. etc. etc.
And looking now, I can't find articles for push-fit fittings, which are something that really should be in here, as they're widely used in pneumatics... bah, another day. One hose attachment article is enough for an evening!

[edit] Stub?
Hrmm, it still feels like a stub to me... But, seeing as someone removed the stub template, guess not. Oh well. I like the reformatting at least. :) --Bushytails 07:26, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I like your idea of a "stub" (anything under 1 to 2 thousand words feels stubbish to me), but we're outvoted: "A stub is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less" :) 68.81.231.127 10:32, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- I think we need to be very flexible (and sensible) about defining a stub. With some subjects there is much more to be said than with others. :-) (RJP 10:07, 5 September 2005 (UTC))
[edit] Copyediting good!
Glad it's getting some editing... I had (and still have) the flu when writing that, and my energy for fixing typos in hose clamps was pretty much near zero.
And, that's why I like wikipedia. :)

[edit] Jubilee Clips
Just found this article (thanks to the front-page link), and was surprised that the term 'Jubilee Clip' didn't enter into it at all - as far as I know, that's the widely accepted name for the screw-type.
I've made a minor edit to reflect this, but I was wondering if there's any need for a separate article about Jubilee Clips. For reference, here's the website of the company that first marketed them : L. Robinson & Company There's a decent enough "history of" section, if anyone's interested.

I've never heard the term... Around here they're just generic "hose clamps." Then again, I'm a mechanic, not a plumber, so could well be I just missed that. :) --Bushytails 18:45, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
They're regularly called "Jubilee Clips" in the UK. In fact I had to do a search to get to the Hose Clamp page as I couldn't find a Wiki page for 'Jubilee Clip'. Maybe a redirect / alias for 'Jubilee Clip' would be useful? -- JonRB 16:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Barb
From the context, I imagine that this is what I would call a spigot. That is a cylindrical end to a fitting or component designed to fit inside another fitting or pipe for a joint to be made, perhaps by welding, perhaps by soldering, perhaps with a jub clip. Where greater pressures will be encountered, a flanged joint would be used. If we are agreed that a barb is a spigot, then we can add a note to make that clear. This use of the word spigot is distinct from that in barrel technology. (RJP 10:07, 5 September 2005 (UTC))
- The barb, in this context, is an often ridged area, often consisting of the sweep of a sawtooth shape, that the hose is slid over and clamped to. Some examples can be found at this page, this page, this page, and lots of other pages. Is there another term for this part? Bushytails 17:11, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

- Before this little bit of education, the best name I would have known would be spigot but it is a field in which I am not fully at home. When I get the chance, I'll ask someone local who is, to see how far this is a geographical thing. (RJP 21:34, 5 September 2005 (UTC))
[edit] CLIC clamps
Sorry to nitpick as the article _is_ a good one, surely better than anything in the Brittanica. However, it does appear that the CLIC clamp section has been lifted from promotional literature. After all, if we are to mention all types of clamp, then steel ribbon and separate clip systems (for instance the French 'Ligarex' (as used by Citroen at times)) and a multitude of others might be considered. If, on the other hand, we are only to mention the basic types, Wikipedia should not include a list of advantages of a particular brand. What is the Wikipedia policy on this? - Riccardo, Essex, U.K. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.104.67.238 (talk • contribs) 13:03, August 15, 2006 (UTC)
- If it's lifeted from promotional literature without permission, then it is a Copyright violation and should be immediately removed. In any case, Wikipedia is not a place to sing the praises of any particular brand or type, and like you say, other proprietary types should be included. You seem to know quite a bit about clamps, so using Wikipedia's basic policy of Neutral point of view, go ahead and fix the article. Luigizanasi 19:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Modifications
I've done several modifications including removing CAILLAU and JUBILEE links in the page. I hope that somebody will add some hose clamps descriptions.
