I am working on ordering some of these up to replace my zip tie fasteners. I pulled the stainless steel hose clamps that came with my abyzz pumps, as they were corroding. I put two heavy duty zip ties on each end and tightened the hell out of them. But the back pressure on my manifold ended up popping the silicone connector right off of the lower pump. I was lucky that the pump flipped forward and starved itself of water by the intake sucking itself to the glass. I was lucky that in itself didn't crack the glass. Anywho, I put some weight, an old quiet ones pump, on the top of the abyzz to keep it from pressuring out of the silicone connector.

I am hoping the 100% titanium base clamps will do the job. Does anyone else have experience with them?

Cheers,
Scott
