NEWBURY PARK, CA - Hose clamps are possibly the least exciting and most
utilitarian parts on a modern fuel-injected marine engine. Not to say they don't
work, they just seem archaic on such a high performance machine. Especially if
they're the large t-clamps found on your induction system tubing, and look
suspiciously similar to the clamps used on RV septic tanks. Pi-Thon Design, Inc.
has another way to seal your marine engine's induction plumbing: the Pi-Thon
Induction-Lock™. Similar to patent-pending Pi-Thon Hose-locks™ for rubber,
silicone or braided stainless steel hoses, the Induction-Lock™ is a billet
aluminum compression fitting that connects large diameter tubing to air filters,
turbochargers, throttle bodies and practically any metal or plastic tubing up to
4-inches in diameter. The basic Induction-Lock™ consists of two threaded
halves and an internal compression ring. Simply slide the loosened Induction-Lock™
over your rubber or silicone joint sleeve and twist the halves together for
incredible clamping force and a positive seal. Use the wider dual-ring unit for
well-aligned sections of tubing or two narrow Induction-Locks™ if you need to
retain flexibility at the junction. Induction-Locks™ are available in a wide
variety of SAE and metric diameters, and come with an as-machined finish,
brilliantly polishing, or anodized green, gold, purple, red, blue or black for
maximum corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments. Toss those septic
tank clamps overboard and thread on some real performance induction hardware:
Pi-Thon Induction-Locks™! For more information about Induction-Locks™ for
use on high performance watercraft engines, see Pi-Thon's website at

Dump The Hose Clamps
April 2003
NEWBURY PARK, CA - Motorcycle owners take great pride in their machines
and work hard to make them as visually stunning as they are fast. Polished
stainless steel, chrome and anodized aluminum abound on these two-wheeled works
of art, and mechanical perfection is the name of the game. With that in mind,
why would anyone use utilitarian hose clamps on such a vehicle? Pi-Thon Design
has a much more appropriate sealing device, one that's every bit as functional
as it is gorgeous. The basic Pi-Thon Hose-Lock™ is a three-piece billet
aluminum compression fitting, consisting of a center compression ring and two
outer body halves that thread together. When tightened, the Hose-Lock™
compression ring cinches securely around coolant hoses, low-pressure fuel lines
and almost any other connection where you would normally use a conventional hose
clamp. Depending on the style of your bike, choose the hi-tech cylindrical
spanner style or the competition-look hex body. Pi-Thon Hose-Locks™ are
available in several finishes as well, including as-machined, brightly polished
or anodized in a wide variety of colors, including glossy black and gunmetal
gray. Diameters range from 1/4-inch all the way to 4-inches, and are even
available in custom sizes and configurations. Pi-Thon also offers two other
types of precision fittings (not shown): billet aluminum Induction-Locks™ for
air intake plumbing and stainless steel Fire-Locks™ for exhaust tubing. For
more information about Hose-Locks™, Induction-Locks™ or Fire-Locks™, see
Pi-Thon's website at www.pi-thon.com or contact Pi-Thon Design, 2520 Turquoise
Circle, Unit B, Newbury Park, CA 91320. Toll-free: 888-474-8466, Fax:

Cast Off The Hose Clamps
March 2003
NEWBURY PARK, CA - Boat owners take great pride in their watercraft and
work hard to make them as visually stunning as they are fast. Polished stainless
steel, brass and anodized aluminum abound on these floating works of art, and
mechanical perfection is the name of the game. With that in mind, why would
anyone use utilitarian hose clamps on such a craft? Pi-Thon Design has a much
more appropriate sealing device, one that's every bit as functional as it is
gorgeous. The basic Pi-Thon Hose-Lock™ is a three-piece billet aluminum
compression fitting, consisting of a center compression ring and two outer body
halves that thread together. When tightened, the Hose-Lock™ compression ring
cinches securely around coolant hoses, bilge pump lines and almost any other
connection where you would normally use a conventional hose clamp. Depending on
the style of your boat, choose the cylindrical spanner style (shown) or the
hexagon body. Pi-Thon Hose-Locks™ are available in several finishes as well,
including as-machined, brightly polished or anodized in a wide variety of
colors. Diameters range from 1/4-inch all the way to 4-inches, and are even
available in custom sizes and configurations. Pi-Thon also offers two other
types of precision fittings (not shown): billet aluminum Induction-Locks™ for
air intake plumbing and stainless steel Fire-Locks™ for exhaust tubing. For

Quality, Not Quantity
January 2003
NEWBURY PARK, CA - Less is more. Quality, not quantity.
Statements that hold true for everything from body kits on sport compact cars to
light bars on off-road trucks. Going for the clean high-tech look, Pi-Thon
Design, Inc. offers a dual-ring version of its popular billet aluminum Induction-Lock™.
Perfect for connecting cold air intakes to tubing, throttle-bodies to intake
piping, or intercoolers to intake tubing, the patent-pending Pi-Thon 2AI Series
fitting replaces two conventional hose clamps. Simply slide the 2AI Induction-Lock™
over your section of sealing hose and insert your tubing. Tighten the ends of
the fitting (using a Pi-Thon aluminum spanner wrench) to cinch down the
compression rings, and you're done! The Pi-Thon 2AI Induction-Lock™ is billet
aircraft-quality aluminum, CNC machined to precise tolerances prior to being
brightly polished or anodized in vivid red, blue, violet, gold or green. Each
Pi-Thon Induction-Lock™ fitting is 100-percent U.S. made for award-winning
quality, and is available in a wide variety of diameters from 2.5-inch to
4-inches. You can even use the 2AI Induction-Lock™ to make a diameter
transition (ex: 2-inch intake tubing to 3-inch intercooler), inquire about
custom unequal diameter units at additional cost. For more information about
Pi-Thon Design 2AI Induction-Locks™, see Pi-Thon's web site at www.pi-thon.com
