So, I realized today that the bvv cart filling gun has a pinch clamp to hold the syringe and heating element together. I googled how to get them off and it said to cut it and re-crimp it with a new one. I was wondering If anyone knows of any less disposable ideas for a pinch clamp?61uuD9XRTUL.AC_SX425

Hose clamp? Or just use a giant sheet of Velcro

Tri-clamp would be a little awkward weight wise.

I would really go with Velcro it’s cheap enough to where if it gets dirty you can just toss and replace.

If thats not cool stainless hose clamps would be good b.c. easy to change out, light weight, and cleanable

The problem I see with zip ties is when removing them eventually ur gunna Nick that heat pad and be real sad

Basic hose/screw clamp should work fine. Or something like this.
