Are those things even clamps? They look more like a type of compression fitting to me.

Yes they are clamps, they don't touch the water at all. The clamps are 3 pieces, 2 sides that screw together and a compression RING inside. Put hose on barb, put first side over hose that is on barb, screw the 2 sides together and the ring compresses the tube to the barb.Arca_ex said:

Interesting clamps. These work on practically any fitting?
Though I like the look (if they also come in, say, flat black), but I don't think I could part with the nylon Eldon James fittings that come with the ThermoChills. Best straight fitting I've ever had the pleasure of using.

VR, I'm not using a shroud on the PA, no need for it. Arca, I got mine at www.summitracing.com but it seems they don't carry them anymore... Be warned these clamps are not cheap. I got them on special for $6 each. Normally they are like $12 each for the size I use. Phide, check this site here http://www.paragonperformance.com/hose locks.html you can see the many different sizes and colors, the fitment is weird, I'm using 7/16" ID tubing which is 5/8" OD but get even fatter when the tube is over the barb. I am using this size: PP-1A-08 but if I were using 1/2" ID tubing, these would not work at all, I'd likely need the PP-1A-10. They also make hex clamps but I like the look of the spanner locks.

You mean the green of the case? It isn't paint! It is powdercoated and I have no idea of the exact color, I can try to find out.gvblake22 said:
