FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the rubber lining?
The EPDM rubber lining protects cables, hoses, and pipes from abrasion, vibration, and potential damage caused by contact with the metal clip.
What size screw should I use?
The screw hole size is 6.6mm. You should select a screw or bolt appropriate for your mounting surface that fits through this hole. Ensure the screw head is not excessively large.
Can these clips be used for electrical wiring?
Yes, they are suitable for securing electrical wiring and cables, particularly where protection from vibration or chafing is needed. Ensure the wiring is not compressed or damaged by the clip.
What is the working temperature range?
These P-Clips are designed to function within a working temperature range of -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +140°F).
Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the zinc-plated mild steel and EPDM rubber lining offer good resistance to environmental factors, making them suitable for outdoor applications within their temperature range.
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 rubber-lined P-Clips.
What does 'RoHS Compliant' mean?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance means the product adheres to specific directives limiting the use of certain hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment.
Troubleshooting
Clip won't tighten securely
Ensure the mounting surface is solid and the screw is appropriate for the surface material. Check that the screw head is not too large for the hole. Try a slightly longer or thicker screw if the surface is soft.
Rubber lining appears damaged
Inspect for tears or abrasions. If damaged, replace the clip to prevent further wear on the secured item. Avoid overtightening during installation.
Clip feels too loose around the item
Verify the 6mm size is appropriate for the item being secured. If the item is slightly larger, consider using a slightly larger P-Clip size or bundling multiple smaller items together if feasible.
Corrosion on the steel band
Light surface rust can often be removed with a wire brush. For significant corrosion, especially in harsh environments, consider using stainless steel alternatives. Ensure the clip is kept dry when possible.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent protection against wear and vibration due to the rubber lining.
- Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance in various environments.
- Simple and secure installation process.
- Suitable for a wide range of applications requiring cable or pipe securing.
- RoHS compliant, indicating adherence to environmental standards.
Cons
- Limited to a 6mm size, may not fit all applications without adapters or different clip sizes.
- The working temperature range, while broad, may not be sufficient for extreme industrial heat or cold.
- Requires separate screws or fasteners for installation.
- Mild steel may be susceptible to rust over very long periods in highly corrosive environments.
- Primarily designed for fixing, not for heavy load-bearing structural support.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select a suitable mounting surface (wood, metal, plastic).
- Choose appropriate screws or bolts (not included) that fit the 6.6mm screw hole.
- Position the P-Clip over the cable or hose to be secured.
- Insert the screw through the elongated upper hole of the P-Clip and into the mounting surface.
- Tighten the screw firmly, but avoid overtightening, which could damage the rubber lining or mounting surface.
Compatibility:
- Size: Designed for items with an outer diameter or bundling that fits within a 6mm space when the clip is partially closed.
- Materials: Compatible with most common hose, pipe, and cable materials. The EPDM rubber lining is resistant to oils, fuels, and many solvents.
- Environment: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use within the specified temperature range (-40°C to +60°C).
Care:
- Periodically inspect clips for signs of wear or damage, especially the rubber lining.
- Clean with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber or plating.
- Ensure screws remain tight to maintain secure fixing.
