Hey all! I've been looking for a hose clamp. Going the simple MLT route instead of a ball valve (thanks Don Osborn!). However, I can't find one anywhere in town, including home improvement stores and LHBS. Also, every online store that has it charges $6 to ship a $1 piece of plastic. Where is a common place to find such a thing? Or is there a good substitute?

Thanks for any help. I'm just frustrated something so minuscule can be such a freakin road-block between me and beer!!!

DAMNIT, I AM BETTER THAN YOU!

There's a small chance a fish/pet store might have them.

You know, if you have a suggestion, you should just offer it up. Stop beating around the bush.

Actually, I have used 2 pieces of flat-stock and a c-clamp in a pinch. Something like that could get you by until you place a regular order somewhere and add a clamp to it.
