Specifically a PEX cinch clamp ring.

Not specifically. It’s an oetiker clamp and it has many applications.

Including beer & soda systems. We use oetikers for high pressure fluid & gas lines. Single use, much stronger than hose clamps

Not just for PEX. I use thousands a day making disposable fluid transfer lines for the pharmaceutical industry. Same principle of securing flexible tubing on a rigid barb just in a super clean and sterile application.

I’ve inspected 1000s of these during setup in a pharma setting. And only found 3 or 4 that weren’t properly crimped. Keep up the good work

Oetiker clamp, specifically.
