When it comes to securing hoses in demanding environments, not all clips are created equal. If you’re working with hydraulic systems, industrial machinery, or any setup running at high pressure, you need a clip that can handle the job without slipping or leaking.
In this guide, we’ll help you understand how to choose the best jubilee clips for high pressure, what to look for in materials and design, and which clip styles suit different hoses.
Why Jubilee Clips Are Vital in High Pressure Systems
A jubilee clip might seem like a small part, but in high pressure systems it’s a critical component. If your clip fails, you risk leaks, pressure drops, or even hose blowouts. That’s why choosing the right high pressure hose clips is just as important as selecting the correct hose or fitting.
At Integraflex, we stock a range of heavy duty jubilee clips and stainless steel jubilee clips designed to perform in even the most challenging conditions.
What Makes a Jubilee Clip Suitable for High Pressure?
Not every clip can withstand high operating pressures. Look for these features:
- Material Strength:
Opt for stainless steel jubilee clips. They offer superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for industrial or marine environments.
- Wide Band Design: A wider band distributes clamping force more evenly, reducing the risk of hose damage while still providing a firm seal.
- Heavy Duty Construction: Heavy duty jubilee clips have reinforced worm gears and stronger screw mechanisms to handle greater tightening torque without stripping.
- Quality Certification: Reputable brand comply with standards like BS5315 or ISO specifications, giving you confidence in performance.

Installation Tips for High Pressure Applications
Even the best clip can fail if it’s not installed properly. Follow these tips to get a perfect seal:
- Measure Carefully: Always measure the hose’s outer diameter with the fitting in place to select the correct clip size.
- Position Correctly: Place the clip just behind the fitting’s bead or lip for the strongest hold.
- Tighten Gradually: Use a torque screwdriver or spanner to avoid over tightening, which can damage the hose.
- Inspect Regularly: In high pressure environments, check clips periodically for signs of wear or loosening.

FAQs About High Pressure Jubilee Clips
Can standard clips be used for high pressure?
Not recommended. Standard clips may not handle the torque or pressure needed, leading to leaks.
Are heavy duty clips reusable?
Yes, if they’re not damaged. Inspect the screw mechanism and band for wear before reusing.
Do I need stainless steel for high pressure use?
It’s highly recommended, especially if the system is exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor environments.
When your system runs at high pressure, choosing the best jubilee clips for high pressure can make all the difference. Look for heavy duty jubilee clips, ideally in stainless steel, and match them to your hose type for a secure, leak free connection.
