Description
These hinged pipe clips are designed to securely support and fix pipework to walls or partitions in compressed air and pneumatic installations. They provide reliable alignment and support for lightweight pipe systems, helping to keep installations neat, safe and well organised.
Manufactured from durable polypropylene, the hinged design allows the pipe to be clipped in easily while still accommodating natural movement caused by thermal expansion. This is particularly important for plastic pipework, ensuring long-term system integrity without stressing the pipe or fittings.
The clips are simple to install and do not require heavy-duty mountings or specialist tools. When installed correctly, they help maintain correct pipe spacing and alignment throughout the system, whether in workshops, plant rooms or industrial environments

Installation Guidelines for Hinged Pipe Clips
- Horizontal Pipe Clips: Start by attaching the horizontal pipe clips to ensure proper alignment and support of the pipes.
- Vertical Pipe Clips: Attach vertical pipe clips after applying a small amount of pressure to the system, allowing the pipes to position themselves correctly.
- Spacing Considerations: Maintain a distance of approximately 10cm from walls and 400mm from fittings to the pipe clip.
- Accommodating Expansion: Ensure that the pipe can slide through the mounting brackets to account for thermal expansion.
- Below Ground Installation: If installed below ground, use conduit to protect the pipe and allow for temperature-related expansion.
