Is there a name for this sort of object? I need something like this, but don't know what to type into the webs (lemmy.world)

I'm going to convert my computer chair from pneumatic to static. I'm currently using plastic clasps that are held on with jubilee clips, but they're not great and need replaced (I'm a heavy lad). A sturdy metal version would be better.

I'm assuming the plumbing world would have something like this, but the language of the plumber is arcane and inaccessible to regular goombas like me. What do I type into the search box?

Cheers!

Where'd you get that image? Did you draw it yourself?

I did 🤣 My skillz are known across the land. They call me the Paint.NET Bastard.

I use these at work. That is a sleeve style clamp used to seal off leaks
