View Full Version : Looking for a clamp, with a hole in it

A few weeks ago, while browsing one of online stores, I saw clamp I wanted.

The clamp was designed to help with water changes. The end of the clamp had a hole in it, which you could run a standard hose thru.

By running the hose thru the hole, then clamping the clamp to the side of the tank, you can secure the hose.. if that makes sense.

Well, I have searched and searched for that clamp, but can't find it.

Anybody know what I'm looking for?

I might be in the minority, but why not just hold it with your hand?

i find it hard to hold a tube in one hand and plug/unplug a pump with the other..

Just turnoff pump first then turn back on after water change.

how would i manage that if im holding a tube ;) don't get me wrong, ive plugged and unplugged my pump with one hand before but it is a lil tricky. plus the way i have everything setup the hose goes in one tank, pump in a tank a few feet away on a counter so i have to secure the tube to the tank while i hold the pump in another tank then when im done hold the pump under water while i pull the cord out so i don't run it dry. tricky stuff lol

2 90* elbows, 1 short, 1 long piece of PVC, make a DYI "U" tube, attached tube, hang on tank. Maybe cost a buck or two.

that will work :)

I had seen one that looked liked a traditional clamp, but this one will work. Thank you!

My RO/DI unit, pump, and hose is in the garage. Maybe 30 feet away from the tank...

i went ahead and ordered 2 of them today.

They have to come from china though.. so if somebody reminds me in a few weeks, I'll tell ya if they are sturdy made or a piece of junk.
