Double 1mm T+E clips

[GB Electrics]

Hello,
Does anyone know who makes or sells double 1.0mm T+E clips, not the 1.0/1.5 type . I’ve had them in the past and they hold 1mm much better than the 1.0/1.5 type. Can’t remember the brand or where I got them.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply nicebutdim, I’m afraid that’s the code for single cable clips , Schneider only seem to have doubles in the 1.5 and 2.5 sizes. Which are 70cgkdf15 or 25.

You're correct and I apologise for the mistake. Off the top of my head the only manufacturers of double width clips were Tower and LAP and neither seem to offer them for 1mm.

I'm surprised by this, given the widespread use of 1mm in mainland UK

These are offered as 1mm, but they're Unifix and I suspect they're the 1-1.5mm clips you don't want.

Can't find any specs to confirm.

I remember using double T+E clips in the past, for dressing but haven't used them for donkeys years. Basically, they are too weak to hold the outer of the 2 cables these days....and it's much easier using singles. I'll bet I have some tucked away somewhere.....if I come across 'em I'll probably bin 'em.

Blimey haven’t used double clips in probably a decade or more...
two 1mm cables will probably sit quite nicely under a 6mm clip..

Clips?
what are you lot talking about?

Double clips ?

 

[Dustydazzler]

Double clips ?

yes , tower used to make A range of plastic t & e clips Which could hold 2 cables at once side by side...

Thanks nicebutdim . I’ll order some out of curiosity . Your right it’s surprising as 1.0mm is surely more popular than 1.5mm these days . Appreciate your help mate.

Thanks telectrix, I’ve tried the lap ones and they are for 1.5mm

you can use them along the cable run,but they won't grip tight. at the ends, use separate 1.0mm clips

Thanks , not a bad idea , I’m in the queue for screwfix as I type so I’ll get a box to try until the others arrive .
Cheers

Double clips....make sure the nail's at the bottom....especially if it's in an exit area.

The Unifix 1mm clips will be for 1mm. Tower make the useless 1mm to 1.5mm type clips. Unifix make the best cable clips available in the UK, but there is one thing I still don't understand: Why don't UK cable clip manufacturers make cable clips 6.0mm and above with a nail each side of the cable?! 16mm with one nail is a joke!

You could try Linian clips. They don't have nails. They do have a size-guide, so maybe that would assist in ascertaining whether 2 x 1mm would fit into one of their sizes. The guide can be downloaded here:

Agreed Freddo , unifix is quality stuff . I’d never given it any thought but a nail either side would be just the ticket and I’d pay the extra £1 a box for something decent.
I quite liked the look of the Dewalt cable stapler until i learned that they are still slack after stalling .

Or you could use buckle clips...old-fashioned maybe, but a neat job.

there's a size guide etc on the site
I have fitted two 1mm cables into a 44mm buckle clip this morning and it's fine. I can't see it taking two 1.5mm as it's a tad small
A couple of the bigger sizes have 2 nail holes, which makes sense given the bendy nature of the material.
and not made of plastic!

2x 1.0mm T/E's will clip very neatly on edge, not flat, in a 2.5mm clip. I do it all the time.

Could go to dragons den with that idea. Never thought about it before but would be very handy.

Thanks for the idea pirate , think I’ve actually got a jar of them somewhere that my dad never threw away , funny how they’re making a comeback due to new regs.
