P Clips.

What are P Clips?

P clips are fastening hardware designed to securely fix pipes, hoses and cables to walls, panels or other structural surfaces. Their distinctive ‘P’ shape allows them to encircle the item being secured while providing a mounting hole for easy installation.

Often used in automotive, industrial and general engineering environments, these clips are especially effective in managing hydraulic hoses, pneumatic lines and conduit tubing in high-vibration applications.

How Rubber-Lined P Clips Work

Our rubber-lined p clips function by wrapping around the pipe or hose and bolting through the integrated mounting hole to a flat surface. The rubber lining acts as a cushion, minimising vibrations and protecting the secured item from abrasion. This ensures a firm grip while preventing wear over time, particularly in dynamic or harsh environments.

Materials P Clips Are Made From

Our range of heavy-duty p clips is manufactured using durable stainless steel with a protective rubber lining, offering both structural reliability and vibration damping.

A2 stainless steel p clips provide excellent corrosion resistance for most general applications, while A4 stainless steel delivers superior resistance in marine or chemically aggressive environments. The rubber lining enhances grip, reduces vibration and protects against mechanical wear once mounted.

Sizes and Types of P Clips Available

Accu's selection of hose p clips is available in a variety of diameters to suit different pipe, hose or cable sizes, with a standardised 6mm mounting hole for easy installation. Internal diameters range from 5mm to 52mm, and all clips include an integrated rubber lining for insulation and protection.

This size range allows for flexible use across a broad spectrum of engineering and maintenance tasks.

FAQs

Q: How do you use a p clip?

A: To use a p clip, place it around the hose or pipe and align the mounting hole with your surface. Then fix it in place using a bolt or screw. Ensure the fit is snug but not overly tight to avoid damaging the lining or the secured item.

Q: What are p clamps used for?

A: P clamps are used to secure hoses, pipes, cables or tubing to surfaces in a safe and organised manner, especially in environments where movement or vibration could cause wear or displacement.

Q: How to measure a p clip?

A: P clips are typically measured by the internal diameter of the loop, which should match the external diameter of the item you plan to secure. Our handy guide on using calipers will give you the technical details needed to obtain the correct measurements you need prior to ordering.

Q: What's the advantage of rubber-insulated p clips?

A: Having a rubber lining allows the p brackets to have a degree of electrical insulation and vibration resistance. This is crucial for scenarios that involve electronics in dynamic environments, such as in engine bays or industrial machinery.
