Snap in Open Clip 22mm

Quick to use and easy to adjust, the snap in open clip 22mm has no lid at all. The pipe pushes straight into its open jaws and is held by the spring of the plastic.

Why fit a snap in open clip 22mm

Because there is no cover to close, you can work along a long run fast, screwing clips down and pressing the pipe in. It is also easy to pull the pipe back out if you need to adjust the line. The 22mm size suits heating flow and return, boiler pipework and mains cold feeds in houses. It works in voids, cupboards and under floors where pipe needs holding but not hiding.

• Size: 22mm
• Open top, push the pipe in
• Screw fixing to walls, joists and boards
• Easy to remove the pipe later

Set the clips out in a straight line and screw them down firmly first. Then line the pipe up and press it in with the heel of your hand. If it feels loose, the clip is the wrong size or the pipe is not fully seated. On vertical runs, or where the pipe may get knocked, a hinged clip holds better. Too few clips will let long runs bow, so keep them evenly spaced. Hinged and nail on types are in our plastic clips category.

Common Questions

How does a snap in open clip work? You fix the clip to the wall first, then push the 22mm pipe into the open jaws until it snaps in and is held. It’s quick wherever you can get at the pipe from the front.

How far apart should I put snap in pipe clips? It depends on the pipe material and whether the run is horizontal or vertical. Plastic pipe needs clips closer together than copper, so follow the pipe maker’s spacing guidance.

What size pipe does this snap in clip fit? This one is for 22mm pipe. The same clip range also comes in 15mm, 28mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm and 110mm.

Should I use a snap in clip or a hinged clip? A snap in clip is quickest when you can push the pipe in from the front. A hinged clip wraps right round the pipe, which some fitters prefer on exposed runs.

How do I remove a pipe from a snap in clip? Pull the pipe straight out away from the wall and it’ll come free of the open jaws. If the clip cracks or loses its grip, just swap it for a new one.
