Disclosed is a clasp assembly for gripping a submarine hydraulic hose or the like which is being suspended by a metal cable. The clasp comprises a tubular clasp body including two matching partial tubular clasp elements which are hinged together along one edge. Lock means which are provided to maintain the two elements together about the hose includes a flange which diverges from each clasp element. A releasable fastener means draws the two flanges toward each other to lock the clasp in its closed position. Each of the clasp elements is equipped with a liner of rubber-like material to provide a firm friction grip on the hose. Clamp means are provided on the exterior of one of the clasp elements for attaching the clasp assembly to a cable or the like used to suspend the hose.
