FAQs
What is the primary advantage of using these clips?
The primary advantage is the speed and efficiency of installation, especially when used with the Bosch GNB 18v Nailer, which eliminates the need for drills, screws, or anchors.
Can I use these clips for electrical cables?
No, these clips are specifically designed for securing pipes with a 16mm diameter. They are not intended for use with electrical cables.
What are the alternative mounting methods if I don't have the Bosch GNB 18v Nailer?
You can use a 3.5–5mm flathead screw or an M6 threaded bolt to fix the clips to various surfaces.
How many clips are in a pack?
The 16mm variant comes in a pack size of 100 clips.
What pipe sizes do these clips accommodate?
These specific clips are for 16mm pipes. The PRO EPC line is available in five sizes to fit five standard pipe diameters.
Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may affect the material over time. For optimal longevity, it's best to consider environmental factors and ensure proper fastening.
Can I use generic nails with the Bosch GNB 18v Nailer for these clips?
It is highly recommended to use only nails specifically compatible with the Bosch GNB 18v Nailer and designed for use with these PRO EPC clips to ensure safety and performance.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not secure properly with the nailer.
Ensure the Bosch GNB 18v Nailer is properly charged and loaded with compatible nails. Check that the clip is positioned correctly and the nail is fired through the designated slot. Verify the surface is suitable for nailing.
Screw/bolt does not hold the clip firmly.
Ensure you are using the correct size screw (3.5–5mm) or bolt (M6). Verify the screw/bolt is appropriately anchored into the mounting surface. For hard surfaces like concrete, use a suitable wall plug or anchor.
Pipe rattles or is loose in the clip.
Ensure the clip is fully closed around the pipe. If the pipe is slightly undersized or the clip is damaged, consider using a different clip or a supplementary securing method if movement is critical.
Clip breaks during installation.
Check for defects in the clip. Ensure you are not applying excessive force or using inappropriate tools. If using the nailer, ensure it is functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Nailer Method: Load compatible nails into your Bosch GNB 18v Nailer. Position the pipe clip against the desired surface (wall, ceiling, joist) ensuring it is aligned with the 16mm pipe. Fire the nailer through the designated slot in the clip to secure it. Place the pipe into the secured clip and, if necessary, gently close the clip around the pipe.

- Surfaces: Suitable for wood, drywall, concrete (with appropriate anchors for screws/bolts), and metal studs.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, especially if using metal fasteners.
- Inspect periodically for any signs of damage or wear, particularly after significant load or impact.
