Rubber lined P clips are manufactured from a flexible mild steel or stainless steel one piece band with an EPDM rubber liner, the single piece construction means that there are no joins which makes the clip very strong. The upper hole has an elongated design allowing easy fitting of the clip. The rubber liner is designed to protect the hose or pipework against abrasion as well as vibration damping and sound insulation. EPDM rubber offers several advantages over alternatives such as, a wide operating temperature range, resistance to UV (ultra violet) weathering and resistance to creep.
Retaining clamps are primarily used for securing pipes, tubes and cables in place. The rubber profile prevents vibrations from being transmitted, safeguards against scratching and also insulates.
