Pipe clips, also called pipe clamps or pipe hangers, are versatile fixtures designed to support and secure different-sized pipes in industrial piping systems, plumbing, and construction applications. These fittings come with nuts and bolts to ensure the pipes are correctly anchored, preventing sagging, vibration, and damage to the pipes and their connections. Pipe clips are primarily designed to provide support and stability to multiple pipes–preventing them from sagging or moving, which can lead to leaks, structural damage, or other problems.
A pipe clip is typically made from various materials, including metal (steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, and aluminium) and plastic. The choice of material depends on factors like the type of supporting pipe, environmental conditions, and the required load-bearing capacity. Pipe clamps come in various sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters and are typically mounted to walls, ceilings, or other structural supports using screws, bolts, or other fasteners. Enrgtech carries an extensive inventory of standard-quality pipe clips, pipe covers, and pipe clip kits from leading brands to meet users' requirements.

Types of Pipe Clips Based on Materials:
Pipe clips come in various materials and designs to accommodate different pipes and applications. Some of the most popular pipe clip types include:
- Steel Pipe Clips: These clips are typically made of steel and used for securing steel pipes in various plumbing and industrial applications. They are exceptionally durable and provide strong support.
- Stainless Steel Pipe Clips: Stainless steel clips are corrosion-resistant and suitable for use with stainless steel pipes. They are commonly used in environments where rust or corrosion is a concern.
- Plastic Pipe Clips: Plastic clips are lightweight and affordable. They are commonly used with plastic pipes like PVC or CPVC and are suitable for non-corrosive environments.
- Rubber Pipe Clips: Rubber clips are designed to dampen vibrations and reduce noise. They are often used with pipes that may transmit vibrations, such as water pipes or HVAC pipes.
- Chrome Pipe Clips: Chrome-plated clips are often used for decorative or aesthetic purposes, such as securing exposed pipes in bathrooms or kitchens. They provide a polished appearance.
- Brass Pipe Clips: Brass clips are corrosion-resistant and are used in applications where the aesthetic appeal of brass is desired. They are also suitable for use with copper pipes.
- Copper Pipe Clips: Copper clips are designed for use with copper pipes. They are corrosion-resistant and provide a secure hold for copper plumbing systems.
- Heavy-Duty Pipe Clips: These clips are designed to support larger and heavier pipes in multiple industrial settings. They are built to withstand higher loads and provide extra durability.
Typical Applications of Pipe Clips:
Pipe clips are commonly used in multiple projects to ensure the pipes are securely held in place. Some typical applications of pipe clips include:
- Plumbing
- Construction and Framing
- HVAC Systems
- Industrial Piping
- Pipe Clips for Wood
- Fire Sprinkler Systems
- Automotive
- Drainage Systems
- Electrical Work
- Marine and Shipbuilding
