Installation Instructions

Select Clip Size: Match the clip size to your cable. Too tight can damage insulation; too loose won’t hold securely.

Plan Cable Path: Lay out your cable run and mark where clips are required. Space clips roughly every 300mm horizontally or 400mm vertically.

Position Clip: Place the clip over the cable so that it sits flat against the surface.

Fix the Clip: Use a hammer to drive the nail into the surface. On masonry or concrete, pre-drill with a masonry bit and use wall plugs if necessary.

Check for Firmness: Ensure that the clip holds the cable snugly without pinching.

Do not over-tighten or crush the cable. Always ensure cables are supported without damage to insulation.

Maintenance & Longevity Tips

Inspect cable runs periodically to ensure clips haven’t come loose due to vibration or environmental changes.

For outdoor use, avoid prolonged exposure to UV or moisture unless in a protected enclosure.

Replace any clips that appear cracked or brittle due to age or wear.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What does “T & E” mean?
A: It stands for Twin and Earth – a type of electrical cable with two insulated conductors and a bare earth conductor, commonly used in UK domestic wiring.

Q2: Can I use these clips on plaster walls?
A: Yes. Use caution and a suitable hammer. For best results, use wall plugs if the surface is too brittle or crumbles during nailing.

Q3: Are these clips UV-resistant for outdoor use?
A: The plastic offers basic UV resistance. For exposed outdoor use, we recommend using clips specifically designed for harsh environments or placing them under a conduit or weatherproof housing.

Q4: Can these clips be removed and reused?
A: They can be removed, but reusing may reduce their holding effectiveness and risk cracking the plastic. It’s recommended to use fresh clips for secure results.

Q5: What size clip should I use for a 2.5mm² Twin & Earth cable?
A: Use the 2.5mm clip variant, which is designed specifically for that cable size.

Q6: Are the nails rustproof?
A: Yes, they are galvanized/hardened steel nails with corrosion resistance, suitable for most indoor applications.
