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!

We used something similar in this job I once had. We usually referred to them as "collar" or "clamp". In our procedures it was refered to as "clamping collar" to make it as little ambiguous as possible.

It was nicknamed "Dachs armor" as it was about the same length as the belly of a dachs hound, and roughly about the same diameter.
