The primary benefit is providing a neat and safe solution for cable management, ensuring wires are kept tidy and protected.

FAQs
What type of cable are these clips designed for?

What is the width of these clips?
Each clip has a width of 9mm.
How many clips are in a pack?
This pack contains 1000 clips.
What color are the clips?
The clips are grey.
Are fasteners like nails or screws included?
No, fasteners are not included with the clips. You will need to provide your own suitable nails or screws for installation.
Can I use these clips for round cables?
No, these clips are specifically shaped and sized for flat twin and earth cables and are not suitable for round cables.
How often should I install clips?
The frequency of clip installation depends on the application and surface, but typically intervals of 30-50 cm are recommended for secure cable management.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not hold cable securely
Ensure the correct size and type of cable (1.5mm flat twin and earth) is being used. Verify that the clip is fully secured to the mounting surface with an appropriate fastener. Check if the cable has been deformed before clipping.
Clip breaks during installation
Avoid over-tightening fasteners. Ensure the surface is suitable for fixing and not excessively hard. If fixing into hard material like brick, pre-drilling a small pilot hole might be necessary. Ensure you are using the correct fixing method for the surface.
Cable appears pinched or damaged by the clip
The clip may be too small or the wrong type for the cable. Double-check compatibility. Ensure the clip is not being forced onto a cable that is too large for its 9mm width. Re-evaluate clip spacing if excessive tension is noted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: These clips are specifically designed for 1.5mm flat twin and earth cable. Ensure your cable fits within the 9mm width of the clip. They are suitable for use on various surfaces like wood, plaster, or brickwork, provided an appropriate fixing method is used.
Setup:
- Determine the desired routing path for your cable.
- Position the cable along the path.
- Place a clip over the cable at regular intervals (typically every 30-50 cm, depending on the application and surface).
- Secure the clip to the surface using an appropriate fixing method. *Note: Fasteners such as nails or screws are not included with the clips.* Use a hammer or appropriate tool to drive the fastener through the designated hole in the clip, ensuring it holds the cable firmly but does not damage the insulation.
Care: These clips are typically maintenance-free once installed. Periodically inspect installations to ensure clips remain secure and cables are protected. Clean the surrounding area as needed with a dry or slightly damp cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that could degrade the clip material.
