FAQs

What is the exact pipe diameter these clips are designed for?

These clips are specifically designed for 15mm diameter pipes.

Are screws included with the pipe clips?

No, mounting screws are not included and must be purchased separately.

What materials are the clips made from?

The clips are made from solid die-cast brass with a chrome-plated finish.

Can I use these clips for outdoor plumbing?

These clips are designed for interior use. For outdoor applications, weather-resistant alternatives should be considered.

How do I clean and maintain the chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.

Can the pipe be removed without taking the clip off the wall?

Yes, the two-part split design allows the pipe to be removed by undoing the top part of the clip, without disturbing the base fixing.

What type of screws should I use?

Use appropriate wood screws for the mounting surface. For wood, standard wood screws are suitable. For harder surfaces like brick or concrete, use suitable wall plugs and screws.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not hold the pipe securely

Ensure the pipe is within the 15mm diameter specification and that the clip's two parts are firmly secured together. Check that the mounting screws are tight and the clip base is firmly attached to the surface.

Screws do not tighten properly

Verify that you are using screws appropriate for the mounting surface. For soft materials like plasterboard, ensure you are using wall plugs. If mounting into wood, ensure pilot holes are correctly sized.

Chrome finish appears dull or tarnished

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Difficulty removing the pipe from the clip

Ensure you are loosening the screws that hold the two parts of the clip together. The split design should allow the pipe to be lifted out once the top section is detached from the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Determine the desired locations for the pipe clips along the pipe run, ensuring adequate support.
  2. Position the base of the clip against the mounting surface (wall, floor, or ceiling).
  3. Mark the positions for the two screw holes.
  4. If mounting into wood, drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the screw diameter. For other surfaces, use appropriate wall plugs (not included).
  5. Secure the base of the clip to the surface using two suitable wood screws (not included).
  6. Place the 15mm pipe into the secured base.
  7. Position the split top part of the clip over the pipe and align it with the base.

  • Environment: Ideal for interior use in heating, plumbing, and decorative applications.

Care:
