FAQs
What type of cable do these clips fit?
These ViperClip cable clips are specifically designed for 2.5mm² flat twin and earth cables.
Do I need a special tool to use these clips?
Yes, these clips are designed for use with the ViperClip gun only.
Can I use these clips on plasterboard or concrete?
No, these clips are designed for use on natural and engineered timber surfaces only.
How many clips are in a pack?
Each pack contains 1000 ViperClip cable clips.
Will these clips damage the cable insulation?
No, the clips feature a hard-stop design to prevent cable crushing and protect the insulation.
Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?
The product description does not specify outdoor suitability. For outdoor applications, consult the manufacturer or use clips specifically rated for exterior environments.
What is the benefit of the metal nail?
The metal nail provides a strong and durable fixing into various timber types, ensuring the clip stays securely in place.
Troubleshooting
Clip not firing properly
Ensure the ViperClip gun is correctly loaded with clips and has sufficient air pressure. Check the gun's manual for troubleshooting steps specific to the tool.
Nail not fully driven
Verify the timber density is appropriate and the gun's power setting is adequate. Adjust air pressure if possible, or ensure the nail head is properly seated in the gun's drive mechanism.
Cable appears crushed
The hard-stop design should prevent crushing. If crushing occurs, ensure the clip is oriented correctly and the gun is not over-driven. The clip might be too small for the cable if it's not a standard 2.5mm² flat twin and earth.
Clip pulling out of timber
Check the timber type; very soft timber might offer less grip. Ensure the nail is driven straight and fully into the wood. For extremely soft timber, consider alternative fixings.
