Ama-clamp esiphethulo ngokuvamile enziwa ngomucu wensimbi yesiphethulo, asikwe ngendlela yokuthi uhlangothi olulodwa lube nomngcele omncane ophakathi ekugcineni, kanti kolunye uhlangothi kube nomngcele omncane ohlangothini ngalunye. Iziphetho zalezi ziphethulo zibe sezigobileka ngaphandle, bese umucu ugoqeka ukuze wakhe indandatho, amathebhu aphumayo ehlangana.

Ukuze kusetshenziswe i-clamp, amathebhu avele acindezelwe aqondane (ngokuvamile kusetshenziswa i-pliers), okwandisa ububanzi bendandatho, bese i-clamp ifakwa epayipini, idlule ingxenye ezongena epayipini. Ipayipi bese lifakwa epayipini, i-clamp inwetshwe futhi, ifakwa engxenyeni yepayipi phezu kwe-barb, bese idedelwa, icindezele ipayipi epayipini.

Ama-clamp alolu hlobo awavamile ukusetshenziswa kuma-pressure aphezulu noma ama-hoses amakhulu, njengoba angadinga inani elikhulu lensimbi ukuze akhiqize amandla anele okubopha, futhi akunakwenzeka ukusebenza ngawo usebenzisa amathuluzi esandla kuphela. Avame ukusetshenziswa kuma-hoses esistimu yokupholisa izimoto angamasentimitha ambalwa ububanzi, isibonelo kuma-Volkswagen amaningi apholile ngamanzi.

Ama-spring clamp afaneleka kakhulu ezindaweni ezivalekile noma ezingavamile lapho ezinye izinhlobo ze-clip zingadinga amathuluzi okuqinisa asetshenziswa kusuka kuma-engeli amancane futhi okungenzeka angafinyeleleki. Lokhu kuwenze athandwa kakhulu ezinhlotsheni ezifana nama-engine bay ezimoto kanye nokuvikela ukuxhumana kwe-barb ekupholiseni amanzi kwe-PC.
