Key Features of Faithfull Clips

Faithfull clips incorporate several design features that enhance their functionality and longevity. Their cable clips feature rounded edges that prevent damage to cable insulation during installation—a small detail that prevents potentially serious electrical faults. The fixing holes are precisely sized for standard masonry nails or screws, ensuring secure mounting without splitting or deformation.

The spring clips in the Faithfull range are manufactured from tempered steel that maintains consistent tension over time, preventing the loosening that can occur with inferior alternatives. Galvanised and zinc-plated finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for damp environments, outdoor applications, and unheated spaces where condensation occurs.

Faithfull's jubilee-style hose clamps feature smooth band edges that won't damage soft hoses, whilst the screw mechanisms are designed for tool-free hand tightening with the option of driver tightening for high-pressure applications. The worm drive design ensures even pressure distribution around the circumference, preventing leaks and hose distortion.

Popular Faithfull Clips

Within the Faithfull clips range available from Tooled-Up, several product categories prove consistently popular. Cable clips remain amongst the best-sellers, with various sizes covering everything from slim telephone cables to thick armoured electrical cables. The white and black plastic variants allow installers to match clips to cable colour or blend with background surfaces for neater installations.

Pipe clips in multiple diameter ranges suit both metric and imperial pipework, making them versatile for modern installations and renovation work on older properties. The rubber-lined variants reduce noise transmission and prevent pipe rattle—particularly valued in residential heating installations.

Jubilee clips and hose clamps span from small diameter clips for domestic appliance connections through to larger agricultural and industrial sizes. The stainless steel versions offer superior corrosion resistance for marine applications and harsh chemical environments.

Safety and Compliance

When using Faithfull clips in electrical installations, ensure cable clips are suitable for the cable type and installation environment, complying with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Cable clips should be spaced according to regulatory requirements—typically at 400mm intervals horizontally and 350mm vertically for standard domestic cables, though specific applications may require different spacing.

For plumbing applications, ensure pipe clips provide adequate support at intervals specified in BS EN 806 and Building Regulations. Pipes must be properly supported to prevent stress on joints and connections. When securing pressurised hoses, jubilee clips must be tightened sufficiently to prevent leakage whilst avoiding over-tightening that could damage the hose material.

Always inspect clips regularly in critical applications, particularly on pressurised systems, high-temperature pipework, or electrical installations where clip failure could present hazards. Replace any clips showing signs of corrosion, deformation, or reduced grip strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Faithfull cable clips suitable for outdoor use?

Many Faithfull cable clips feature UV-resistant materials suitable for outdoor applications, though specific product specifications should be checked. For permanently exposed installations, consider clips with galvanised fixings and ensure cables themselves are rated for outdoor use in accordance with BS 7671 requirements.

What's the difference between standard and rubber-lined pipe clips?

Rubber-lined Faithfull pipe clips provide vibration damping and noise reduction, making them ideal for central heating systems, boiler connections, and installations where pipe noise transmission could be problematic. Standard clips offer secure fixing for static pipework where vibration isn't a concern.

Can Faithfull jubilee clips be reused after removal?

Whilst Faithfull jubilee clips are manufactured to high standards, best practice for critical applications—particularly pressurised systems—is to fit new clips rather than reusing removed ones. The tightening process can slightly deform the band, and screw threads may accumulate debris affecting their securing capability.

What size cable clip do I need for standard domestic electrical cable?

For standard 1.5mm² twin and earth cable, 6mm clips are typically appropriate. For 2.5mm² cable, use 8mm clips, and for larger cables like 10mm², specify 14mm or larger clips. Always ensure the clip accommodates the cable comfortably without compressing or distorting it.

Are Faithfull clips available in bulk quantities for trade users?

Yes, Faithfull clips are available in various pack sizes including larger trade packs that offer better value for professional users. Tooled-Up stocks both individual small packs for specific projects and bulk quantities for contractors requiring ongoing supplies.
