Gates Corp. announced the release of the new PolarSeal II Clamp Assortment System.

This new kit contains hand-held tools to create A/C barrier hose assemblies directly on vehicles without the need for traditional crimping methods. The PolarSeal II clamp assortment also eliminates the need to stock large quantities of pre-made hose assemblies.

With the addition of the required hose and stems you have everything you need to build A/C barrier hose assemblies. The PolarSeal II Clamp Assortment System includes:

• 50 clamps (in five different sizes) color coded for easy identification,
• Specially designed Gates ratcheting pliers that do not release until the assembly is crimped thereby preventing leaks, improper and/or poor quality crimps, and comebacks,
• A compact and convenient small I.D. hose cutter useful for on-vehicle repair,
• A hose cutter replacement blade,
• Clamps that include a positioning guide to ensure proper alignment over the fitting stem, eliminating the need for a separate cage
