<div dir="ltr">Hi David,
<div>Gates makes a line of clamps specifically designed for use with silicone hose. Check with your local Gates retailer. - Chris</div>
<div>Yes list, David is the man who got this all started and he still owns the tooling to the vertical flow Spridget hoses and the heater question mark hose. I own the tooling for the 2 crossflow hoses (the third hose is a standard part).</div>

Dear Folks, <br>
I am the guy who got the ball rolling for the silicone hoses and <br>
I have a question. <br>
<br>
I found that the typical hose clamp acted like cheese grater on the <br>
silicone material so the kits I offered had STAINLESS Jubilee clips. <br>
They were much kinder to the hoses. I specified stainless because the <br>
regular Jubilee is mild steel and can rust badly. <br>
<br>
So are you guys using the proper clips? <br>
<br>
It would be a shame to ruin a good hose with a bad clamp and then<br>
blame the hose. <br>
The first sets ever made are still in perfect condition on my Sprites...<br>
<br>
My thanks to Mssr. Stapleton who has kept his hand in the production of <br>
the hoses. I just never had the network he does!!<br>
