There is a much easier and proper way to remove these Oetiker clamps. There is a flap or tab on the outside of the clamp that you simply pry up with a flat head screwdriver. Comes right off. Also, if you have the proper size clamp for the hose being used....then 1 clamp is plenty!
Regular worm gear hose clamps work fine on this polyethylene sprinkler pipe. Those single use clamps are called Oetiker clamps and are available in a lot of different sizes.
The answer below is a good one. You can use either type, screw tight or crimp tight. Is this is your first go around the screw types are more forgiving
A few hints: 1) I got dizzy watching your camera wiggle waggle all over the place but thank goodness you got a camera operator to assist. 2) Get a piece of cardboard, newspaper, or a small bucket to put your tools and parts on to keep them out of the dirt and mud, 3) Don't rinse your tools and parts in the muddy water and then crimp the dirt and mud INTO the crimp 4) that was a PROPANE torch (not butane) 5) No need to double clamp each side, a single clamp properly placed and crimped is all that is needed. 6)Take a course (or at least read the instructions) before you attempt to teach somebody else.
Thank ur for this video. I really appreciate the knowledge and especially the hints. Using them on my sprinkler system. Learned a lot from you

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely thought you were being sarcastic at the beginning, but just being nice... thanks for the vid
Do you need to use crimpers or can you just use the screw type ring in the right size?

You’ll want 2 of the screw type clamps on each end of the coupling. 1 simply doesn’t do it.
Thanks. Try to use a camera man. Jumping alot. Info was v 👍
Leave it as is but add some hose clamps. Save alot of time.

Cinch clamp or pinch clamp make sure you get the pinch clamp pliers there a must have
I use SS hose clamps. Lots easier
And always leak on poly pipe
Do the clamps rust?
No, they're usually made out of stainless steel.
Eventually yes. They are stainless but stainless will rust with enough time.
I've never been a fan of poly mains
