Yes - perhaps I panicked a bit.

+1.

Also, if the clip is in the middle of a run you will normally be able to
"ping" the pipe out and move it over far enough to undo the screw. That
means you won't have to faff around drilling and plugging two new holes
close to a "live" pipe.


The pipe goes down the the gas meter - I was a bit wary of mauling it
around - but job done with similar clips.
