FAQs
What cable sizes are these ViperClip clips suitable for?
These clips are designed for flat twin and earth cables sized 4.0mm² and 6.0mm².
Can I use these clips on concrete walls?
No, these clips are specifically designed for use on timber substrates such as natural timber, LVL, CLT, and OSB. They are not suitable for concrete or masonry.
What is the benefit of the hard stop feature?
The hard stop prevents the nail from being driven too deep, which could otherwise damage the cable insulation and compromise electrical safety.
Do I need a special tool to install these clips?
While they can technically be hammered in, they are optimized for rapid installation using the ViperClip Cable Clip Gun. Using the gun significantly speeds up the process.
How many clips are in a pack?
Each pack contains 1000 ViperClip cable clips.
Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?
The product description does not specify outdoor ratings. For outdoor applications, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer for suitability or use products specifically rated for external environments.
Where are these clips manufactured?
These ViperClip cable clips are manufactured in the UK.
Troubleshooting
Clip does not fire or fire fully
Ensure the ViperClip Cable Clip Gun is correctly loaded and fully charged (if battery-powered). Check that the clip is correctly seated in the gun. Verify the surface is suitable timber; hard materials may prevent full nail insertion.
Cable is loose in the clip
Confirm you are using the correct clip size for your cable (4.0mm² or 6.0mm² flat twin and earth). Ensure the clip was driven correctly and the cable is properly seated within the clip body.
Nail bends or breaks
Check the timber for knots or extremely hard sections. Ensure the clip is properly aligned with the gun before firing. If the timber is excessively hard, a different fastening method might be required.
Clip body cracks
This may occur if the clip is not installed squarely or if excessive force is applied indirectly. Ensure the clip gun is used as intended and the clip is positioned correctly over the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These clips are designed for tool-assisted installation. Load the clip into the ViperClip Cable Clip Gun. Position the clip over the cable run on the desired timber surface. Activate the gun to drive the steel nail into the timber, securing the clip and cable. Ensure the clip is oriented correctly to hold the flat twin and earth cable snugly.
Compatibility: The ViperClip VCF-602-UK-1000 is specifically designed for flat twin and earth cables measuring 4.0mm² and 6.0mm². They are compatible with natural timber, LVL, CLT, and OSB substrates. Always verify the cable size and type before use.
Care: No specific care is required for the clips themselves once installed. Ensure the surrounding area is kept clean to prevent debris buildup that could interfere with the cables.
