Full details
These Pepte Schoolboard Pipe Clips are designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing to securely mount 15mm copper pipework. Their key benefit is a fully splitable design for easy installation and a durable, corrosion-resistant chrome-plated brass construction. A minor caveat is that they are sold in packs of five, which may require purchasing multiple sets for larger projects.

FAQs
What size pipe do these clips fit?
These clips are specifically designed for 15mm diameter copper pipe and tubing.
Are screws and wall plugs included?
No, screws and wall plugs for mounting are not included. You will need to provide these separately, choosing appropriate fixings for your wall type.
Can I use these clips for plastic pipes?
These clips are optimized for copper pipes. While they might offer some grip on certain plastic pipes, it is not guaranteed, and they may not provide the secure hold recommended for plumbing systems.
How many clips are in a pack?
Each pack contains five (5) schoolboard pipe clips.
What is the material of the clips?
The clips are made from solid, pressed brass with a chrome plating for durability and corrosion resistance.
Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?
While the chrome-plated brass is corrosion-resistant, they are primarily intended for domestic and commercial plumbing installations, typically indoors. Prolonged outdoor exposure might affect their finish.
How do I install them around an existing pipe?
The central screw allows the clip to be fully split. Loosen or remove the screw, place the two halves of the clip around the pipe, and then reinsert and tighten the screw to secure the pipe, before mounting the clip to the wall.
Troubleshooting
Clip won't tighten around the pipe.
Ensure the pipe is indeed 15mm in diameter and that the clip is correctly positioned. Check that the central screw is functioning properly and not cross-threaded.
Clip feels loose on the wall.
Verify that the correct type and size of wall plug and screw have been used for the wall material. Ensure the screw is fully tightened into the wall plug.
Corrosion spots appearing on the clip.
While designed to be corrosion-resistant, intense humidity or specific chemical exposure could cause minor spotting. Clean gently with a soft cloth. For persistent issues, consider alternative materials if the environment is extreme.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select Mounting Point: Determine the desired location on the wall for the pipe support.
- Position Clip: Place the open clip around the 15mm copper pipe.
- Secure Pipe: Tighten the central screw until the clip firmly grips the pipe. Do not overtighten.
- Mark Wall: Hold the pipe with the clip in its final position against the wall and mark the screw hole location.
- Drill and Insert: Drill a hole at the marked spot and insert a suitable wall plug (not included) appropriate for your wall type.
- Attach Clip: Screw the clip to the wall through the designated hole, ensuring it is secure.
Compatibility:
- Pipe Size: Designed exclusively for 15mm diameter copper pipe and tubing.
- Wall Types: Suitable for mounting on most solid wall materials (brick, concrete, plasterboard with appropriate fixings).
- Environment: Best suited for indoor plumbing applications. While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh outdoor elements may affect appearance over time.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth to maintain the chrome finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
- Inspection: Periodically check that the clips remain securely fastened and that the pipe is adequately supported.
