FM Products MDPE Clip Link

The FM Products MDPE Clip Link is a simple, secure fixing designed for holding MDPE water pipe in
place along walls, fences, timbers and other surfaces. Ideal for use with blue MDPE mains pipe and
other compatible polyethylene pipes, this clip link helps you create neat, supported pipe runs in
domestic, agricultural and light commercial installations.

The FM Products MDPE Clip Link provides a reliable way to secure MDPE service pipes to fixed
structures. Each clip features a shaped saddle that locates around the outside of the pipe, plus
a screw fixing hole or slot for anchoring the clip to masonry, timber, posts or other suitable
surfaces (fixings not usually supplied – choose screws/plugs appropriate to your substrate).

The clip’s internal profile is designed to provide a snug fit on the stated pipe size, helping to
hold the MDPE in place without crushing or kinking. When installed at appropriate intervals, the
Clip Link supports the pipe evenly along its length, reducing stress and preventing unsightly
sagging, particularly on vertical runs and long exposed sections.

Suitable for use on cold‑water MDPE service lines, garden and irrigation supplies and other
compatible plastic pipes (within its size range), the FM Products MDPE Clip Link is ideal for
both new installations and retrofits where exposed pipework needs to be secured.

Typical Use Cases

• Securing MDPE mains water pipe along external walls and fences.
• Supporting pipe risers entering buildings from underground runs.
• Fixing cold‑water supply lines in garages, outbuildings and plant rooms.
• Holding irrigation or supply pipes in place for gardens, yards and smallholdings.
• Neatening exposed MDPE runs in utility areas and service ducts where clipping is required.

Installation & Usage Tips

• Match size to pipe: Choose the Clip Link that matches your MDPE pipe diameter (e.g. 20mm, 25mm, 32mm). The pipe should clip in firmly without forcing.
• Plan fixing centres: Space clips at suitable intervals – closer on bends and vertical drops, wider on short, straight runs (follow good plumbing practice).
• Use appropriate fixings: Select screws and plugs suited to the mounting surface (brick, block, timber, etc.).
• Avoid over‑tightening: Tighten screws so the clip is secure but not distorting the pipe or clip body.
• Allow for expansion: MDPE can expand/contract with temperature; avoid rigidly clamping very long runs without allowance for movement.
