Original Jubilee® Clips – Worm Drive Hose Clamps
Shop genuine Original Jubilee® Clips, the trusted British-made worm drive hose clamps for securely fastening flexible hose to pipes, spigots and fittings. Available in zinc-protected mild steel, 304 stainless steel and marine-grade 316 stainless steel.
Choose from sizes covering approximately 9.5 mm to 318 mm for automotive, agricultural, plumbing, industrial, marine and general maintenance applications. The continuously threaded band provides flexible adjustment, while rolled band edges and a smooth internal profile help protect rubber and silicone hoses during tightening.
Genuine Original Jubilee® Worm Drive Hose Clips
The Original Jubilee® Clip is the product that established the Jubilee name as one of the best-known hose clamp brands in Britain. These adjustable worm drive hose clips are designed to secure flexible hose onto rigid pipes, outlets, spigots and hose fittings.
Each clip uses a continuously threaded metal band and a 7 mm A/F screw fastening. Turning the screw draws the band through the housing and reduces its diameter, producing controlled and even pressure around the hose. The smooth internal profile and rolled band edges help reduce the risk of cutting or damaging softer rubber and silicone hoses.
Original Jubilee® Clips are independently tested by the British Standards Institution and carry the British Standard Kitemark for worm drive hose clips. The range covers adjustment diameters from approximately 9.5 mm to 318 mm, with individual specifications varying according to clip size and material.
Choose the Correct Jubilee Clip Material
| Material | Manufacturer NSS Rating | Recommended Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc-Protected Mild Steel | 240 hours | General DIY, automotive, agricultural, workshop and protected indoor installations |
| 304 Stainless Steel | 1,000 hours | Outdoor equipment, food production, industrial systems and moderately corrosive environments |
| 316 Stainless Steel | 2,000 hours | Marine, coastal, chemical, oil and gas, salt-water and highly corrosive environments |
Zinc-Protected Mild Steel Jubilee Clips
Original Jubilee® mild-steel clips provide a cost-effective solution for general-purpose applications. The zinc coating improves corrosion protection, making these clips suitable for automotive repairs, agricultural machinery, workshop equipment, domestic plumbing and other dry or protected installations.
304 Stainless Steel Jubilee Clips
Original Jubilee® 304 stainless-steel clips provide substantially greater corrosion resistance. All principal components are manufactured from 304 stainless steel, helping to avoid problems caused by mixed-metal construction. This range is suitable for outdoor, industrial and certain marine applications where mild steel would not provide sufficient protection.
316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel Jubilee Clips
Original Jubilee® 316 stainless-steel clips offer the highest corrosion resistance within the Original range. They are intended for demanding marine, coastal, chemical and salt-water environments where prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances is expected.
How to Select the Correct Jubilee Clip Size
Jubilee clip sizes refer to the minimum and maximum internal diameter of the tightened clip. For the most reliable fit:
- Push the hose fully onto its pipe, barb or spigot before measuring.
- Measure the outside diameter of the fitted hose.
- Select a clip whose adjustment range includes that measurement.
- Where possible, choose a size that places the measurement near the middle of the clip’s adjustment range.
Do not select a clip using only the hose’s internal bore measurement. The outside diameter changes according to the hose wall thickness and can increase when the hose is fitted over a connector.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Jubilee clip and a hose clamp?
A Jubilee clip is a worm drive hose clamp manufactured under the registered Jubilee® brand. The brand name has become a common UK term for this style of adjustable hose clip, but not every worm drive hose clamp is a genuine Jubilee® product.
Can Original Jubilee Clips be reused?
They can normally be loosened, removed and refitted, provided the band, screw and housing have not been damaged, excessively corroded or distorted through overtightening. Clips used in safety-critical or high-pressure installations should be inspected carefully before reuse.
Are stainless-steel Jubilee Clips suitable for marine use?
Choose 316 stainless steel for prolonged salt-water, coastal or highly corrosive exposure. The 304 stainless range provides good general corrosion resistance, but 316 is the stronger choice for demanding marine environments.
How tight should a Jubilee Clip be?
Tightening torque varies according to the clip size. Tighten the clip gradually until the hose is securely compressed around the fitting without cutting, crushing or excessively deforming the hose. Refer to the individual product specification when a controlled tightening torque is required.
Can Jubilee Clips be fitted directly around rigid pipe?
Original Jubilee Clips are primarily designed to compress flexible hose around a rigid pipe, connector or spigot. They should not be relied upon to compress solid rigid pipework that cannot deform under clamping pressure.
