Nearly all pipe clips require the pipe to be positioned, the clip
positions marked, then the pipe removed, the clips screwed in, etc Like these https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p72747 You can get nail in clips that have the nails offset, so that they can be nailed with the pipe in place. Like https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p19689 Why not the same design for screw in clips? I know you can get saddle clips, but that's two holes and plugs, etc. |

The obvious application being to replace failed clips without moving the pipe, which is what I wanted them for. The existing rawl plugs had pulled out. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-F...s/332565407571 -- Roger Hayter |

Quite good for fixings on to wood etc, but not so good if you need to drill for a plug. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

I remember some clips that were kind of three part. one for each side, then
one that pushed over the pipe and located in little lugs either side of the pipe but no idea where they were obtained. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Decide where you want the pipe to be, fix the clips, fit pipe to clips, PoP. If you are running a completely new pipe run, that makes perfect sense. If you need to connect to two existing points, it may be better to run the pipes then fit the clips. I guess it depends how accurate you are. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-F...per-Pipe-Clip- 15mm-22mm-28mm-Diff-Qtys/332565407571 Look a bit ugly to my eyes. |

I agree. In my case I had a 22mm plastic pipe 10m long and constrained at points 40cm either side of the clip and wanting to pull the clip out to about 3cm away from the (very far from flat) wall. When it succeeded it was not possible to move the pipe out of the way of its centre line without fairly massive dismantling and the side fixing clip was so much easier that it was worth it! -- Roger Hayter |
