I bought Half-Inch Stainless PEX Cinch Clamps as part of my camper van equipment.

Refill Hardware or a Fuller Assembly Kit
I used SketchUp to plan the interior and put body openings ahead of the framing, floor and wall panels.
My Interior Preparation notes included the shower drain and openings for three water tanks in that preparation sequence.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware for later framing mounts and door trim for the later insulation and paneling.

My Takeaway for the Build
The tank and shower openings were part of my Interior Preparation preparation plan. For the PEX clamp purchase, the useful choice is whether I am comparing consumables alone or the tools needed to assemble them. LOKMAN is another clamp pack; iCrimp combines clamps with a cinch tool and tubing cutter.

Product Detail
Material
Stainless steel
Connection Size
1/2-inch PEX
Closure
Cinch ear
These stainless cinch clamps are sized for half-inch PEX and use a single ear closed by a cinch tool. The clamp, barb and tubing work as a connection set. For a compact water route, leave room to place the tool at each planned joint before fixing the pipe behind panels. Keep cinch and crimp equipment identified separately in the tool kit.
Are Cinch Clamps And Copper Crimp Rings Identical?
They use different forms and tooling. Match the selected tubing, fitting and fastening system rather than mixing them by appearance.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The LOKMAN pack is another supply of half-inch cinch clamps. The iCrimp alternative bundles clamps with the crimping and cutting tools, changing the choice from replenishment hardware to a fuller tool kit.
