Enema Hose Clamps

I go to the farm supply store and buy a turn valve with barbed ends. They are used for spraying equipment according to the card the two come on, but they fit the tubing from my bags or percolators and can easily be adjusted from full flow to a drip with only a quarter turn of the valve.

As Dan stated above, various inexpensive twist valves are widely available for various applications. I purchased one to turn off the gasoline supply line for my lawn mower from theorange box. It has hose barabs on both ends fits directly into a 3/8 in.I.D. tube, which is the same size as my syringe tubeing. To find yours, look in hardware, garden supply, plumbing and possibly restaurant supply stores. Think outside the box and look where low pressure, small volume tubing for liquid handling is sold.

To address the plastic ratchet clamp's deficiencies, I don't find any because it does exactly what it is intended to do and a very resonable price, that is about one Dollar each. The ratchet even allows the operator to adjust the flow to his/her liking! It seems to me that's all excellence in engineering!

After trying many types, I found the European style twist valve works best. As k2mmw said, they're available from many sources but I bought ours from Siliconenozzles.com. He sells a very good quality product and we can set the desired volume easily.

E42,

Can you provide a specific link to the control clamp you're referring to at SN.com? Thanks,

I buy my turn valves at the farm supply store, 2 per pack. They are used for farm sprayers and are in that section of the store. They are less than $5 for a package of two.

Most hardware stores have a tubing that is like surgical tubing (it may be the same) It comes in rolls so you can buy however long you want.

Let the good times flow

Sorry, but I've come to the conclusion that clamps are a "mind thing" when it comes to enemas. My cheap plastic clamp works just fine from full off to full on, with a couple gradients in between. If I really want to vary the flow, I just change the height of my canister or the bag, whatever I'm using at the time. My butt doesn't recognize the difference between clamp style or material.

I have modified a clothspin by reshaping the pinch part into 2 opposing triangular jaws with slightly radiused edges. I also use a rubber band wound around the clothspin just ahead of the pivot to give a tighter pinch. No adjustment of flow but a foolproof shut off and wide open. I use height of bag and therefore pressure as flow control.

Ps. The clothspin thing I described works well to close soft rubbery hoses. I get mine by buying an exercise bungee in desired size from walmart, using the tubular bungee and tossing the handles. These are probably synthetic but same durometer as rubber hose.

Inexpensive (leg secured) PVC drainage bags have a thumb press tap assembly at the bottom of their bags. They are easily removed & adapted for an Enema bag shut-off due the tubing diameter matching. Last time I bought one (for an unrelated project) they cost $1.99 complete

BARD FLIP-FLO Catheter Valve fits 5/16" diameter tubing. They are about $6.00 each. Urocare has a lever valve that screws into their drainage collection bag. Urocare item # 700110. Another Urocare item is UC6005 - Straight-Thru Adaptor with Thumb Clamp. While intended for catheter use, they also fit tubing in many enema sets.

I think these are the best.

I think those are junk, they never stay in the clamped position. Roller clamps are the best way to go in my honest opinion.

I use a small plastic tap, so easy to use

Use roller clamp from single use enema bag. And valve for large silicone bag.

I salvaged the oversized heavy-duty white click style clamp that came with a 5 gallon camp shower. Works dependably with my thick wall silicone tubing from SiliconeNozzles.com

Personally, I like the old metal clamps that came with the vintage enema and douche bags. Memorise!

The white plastic clamp that came with my enema kit has worked well for years. I have also tried the flow indicator that I put inline on the tubing. It's kinda fun to watch the little wheel spinning, while knowing how fast the solution is flowing inside of me. Unfortunately, it started leaking but was good while it lasted. I might get another one.

What we have is the typical plastic clamp for on/off only, a Hoffman style pinch clamp to control flow rate, and a paddle wheel flow indicator. My wife fills the bag, snaps the plastic clamp totally open, then adjusts the Hoffman clamp until the flow indicator is spinning at a rate she knows from experience will give me 3 qts. in about 9 minutes. All the air must be out of the tubing, or the flow indicator will not work properly. When all this is ready, she re-fills the bag to the 3 qt. mark (if needed), lubes my anus and the retention nozzle, inserts the nozzle and away we go. If the wheel slows down, she opens the Hoffman clamp a little, to get the flow rate back up. She has had a lot of practice (and that's great for me!!), system work well and is very reliable.

Go to any auto parts store, they sell fuel line shut off valves for small engines, they work perfectly!!

I use a ball valve it’s very handy to control flow and a flow meter to pace the flow if you will . I still keep a pinch clamp on the hose below my inline pump I have two hoses set up like that in ten foot lengths.

I've used the roller clamp from Optimal Health Products and it's worked well
