    Mercury Clamps vs Radius Zip Tie

    Optimax 0T817222

    I am wanting to confirm I am using the correct "clamp" at the correct location.

    Tell Tell from Compressor - Radius Zip Tie
    Port Thermostat to Adapter Plate - 25.6 mm Oetiker ear clamp
    Starboard Thermostat to Adapter Plate - 25.6 mm Oetiker ear clamp
    Engine Flush - 28.6 mm Oetiker ear clamp
    Water Inlet for Cooling Fuel Rail to Strainer (each side of hose) - Radius Zip Tie
    Excess Air from Port Fuel Rail to Adapter Plate - Radius Zip Tie
    Remote Oil Tank Pressure Hose from Starboard - Radius Zip Tie
    Fuel Line to Pulse Pump - Radius Zip Tie
    Fuel Line at Tank - SS Worm Clamps?
    Primer Bulb - Radius Zip Ties
    Input to Engine Oil Tank - Radius Zip Tie

    These are the only ones in question.

    3/8" "Black" EPA Rated A1-15 fuel line requires Stainless BAND clamps. Radius-Head Tie Wraps do not provide adequate clamping strength on this particular line design.

    Otherwise you're right on all of them.

    To most people a "hose clamp" is a wom gear clamp.

    A band clamp doesn't have a worm gear.
