FAQs

What is the exact outer diameter of the cable this clip is designed for?

The clip is designed for cables with an outer diameter of 12.7mm (0.5 inches).

What size hole do I need to mount this clip?

You will need a mounting hole of approximately 12.5mm (0.49 inches) in diameter.

Can I use these clips for outdoor applications?

These clips are intended for general workshop and automotive use. For outdoor applications, consider environmental factors like UV exposure and temperature extremes, as standard plastic may degrade over time.

What materials are these clips made from?

The product description does not specify the exact material, but they are constructed from durable plastic suitable for workshop environments.

How many clips are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 50 routing clips.

Can I use these for very thin wires?

These clips are optimized for a 12.7mm diameter. They may not provide a secure grip for wires significantly smaller than this specification.

Are these clips reusable?

Yes, the clips can typically be opened and re-closed, making them reusable for different cable configurations or adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Clip won't hold cable securely

Verify the cable diameter is within the 12.7mm specification. Ensure the clip is fully closed and latched if it has a closure mechanism. Check for any damage to the clip that might prevent a secure hold.

Clip post is loose in the mounting hole

Confirm the mounting hole is indeed 12.5mm. If the hole is slightly larger, consider using a shim or an alternative mounting method. If the hole is too small, it may require reaming or drilling to the correct size.

Clip breaks during installation

Avoid applying excessive force. Ensure the mounting surface is appropriate and not brittle. If installing in cold conditions, allow the clips to warm to room temperature, as plastic can become more brittle when cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the cable(s) you need to secure, ensuring their diameter does not exceed 12.7mm.
  2. Select a suitable location for mounting the clip. This location should have a pre-drilled hole or a surface where a 12.5mm hole can be made.
  3. Insert the mounting post of the routing clip into the 12.5mm hole. The clip should fit snugly.
  4. Open the clip or its securing mechanism (if applicable) and place the cable(s) inside.
  5. Close the clip to secure the cable(s) in place.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Diameter: Optimized for cables between 10mm and 12.7mm (approx. 0.4 to 0.5 inches).
  • Mounting Hole Size: Requires a mounting hole of approximately 12.5mm (0.49 inches) in diameter for the post to insert into.
  • Material: Suitable for use on metal, plastic, or wood surfaces commonly found in vehicles and workshops.

Care:

These routing clips are designed for durability in standard workshop conditions. To clean, simply wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as this may degrade the material over time. Ensure clips are not subjected to excessive force or temperatures outside their intended operating range.
