The Multiquip 22068 Stepless Ear Clamp 5/16 Hose #15.7 is a genuine OEM clamp designed for Whiteman ride-on power trowel models HHXD5 and HHXD5-ES. As a factory-sourced component, it meets the exact dimensional and material specifications required for a secure, leak-free hose connection on these machines. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip distribution, part 22068 ensures you are installing the correct clamp the first time. If your HHXD5 or HHXD5-ES is showing signs of hose slippage or fluid seepage at a clamped connection, replacing it with this genuine OEM clamp restores the integrity of that line immediately.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact material and dimensional spec for the 5/16 hose connection, ensuring a consistent crimp and secure ear deformation when installed.
- Stepless Ear Design — The stepless profile clamps evenly around the hose circumference with no gap or overlap point, eliminating pressure weak spots that traditional banded clamps can leave.
- Direct Fitment for HHXD5 and HHXD5-ES — Confirmed OEM fitment for Whiteman ride-on power trowel models HHXD5 and HHXD5-ES; drops into the same hose position as the original without reworking the line.
- Maintains Hydraulic or Fluid Line Integrity — A failed or loose ear clamp allows hose movement and fluid weep that can affect hydraulic pressure or cooling performance on the trowel; this replacement restores a firm, permanent connection.
- Single-Use Permanent Seal — Stepless ear clamps are a one-time crimp fastener, meaning once installed correctly they hold without loosening over time the way screw-type clamps can.
A stepless ear clamp secures a hose onto a barbed fitting by deforming a raised ear on the clamp band when compressed with the correct pincer tool, creating a uniform 360-degree grip around the hose. Unlike worm-drive or spring clamps, the stepless design leaves no internal step or gap, so the clamping force is distributed evenly and the hose cannot creep or leak at the connection point. When this clamp fatigues, cracks, or was never properly set during a prior service, the hose it secures can weep fluid or pull free under pressure — making prompt replacement essential to keeping the trowel's fluid systems operating correctly.
