Description
A galvanised hook clip for 26.9mm tube with the hook cast in line with the ring, so it curls round beside the tube at 90° to its length. The ring slides onto the tube and locks with one hex socket grub screw at any point along it. A chain link, a rope or the edge cord of a net drops into the open hook and lifts out again by hand. It suits a post or a rail, and is malleable cast iron with a galvanised finish for indoor and outdoor use. The price shown is for one hook clip, with a minimum order of 10.
Why use a parallel hook clip
The hook lies flat round the tube. Because the hook is in the same plane as the ring, it sits tight against the tube instead of standing proud of it, and a chain or cord pulls across the tube rather than along it.
Quick to hook and unhook. Chains across gaps and the cords of sports and safety nets can be lifted off for access and dropped back in seconds, with no shackles or ties.
Fits the frame you already have. The ring clamps round the tube with a hex key, so there is no drilling or welding, and the hook can be moved later.
Galvanised for outdoors. The zinc coating protects the iron on sports grounds, yards, farms and building sites in all weathers.
Where it is used
Holding sports, ball-stop and cricket nets on tube frames, hooking netting and debris screens to scaffold-style frames, chains across yard, car park and loading bay openings, animal pen and gate chains, and hanging lightweight signs, cables and hoses from tube rails.

Know its limits
The hook opening is 13mm, so it takes light chain, rope and net cord, not heavy lifting chain. It is a locating hook, not a lifting point: do not hang loads from it or use it to restrain people or vehicles. No load rating is published.
Parallel or standard hook clip?

| Hook standing up from the side of a post, for a chain across a gateway | Standard hook clip |
How many do you need?
For a chain across an opening, one at each end of the chain, or one on the far post if the near end is fixed. For a net, space them evenly along each tube the net is hooked to, closer together where the wind will catch it.
Choosing the right size
Key clamps are sized by the tube's outside diameter. 26.9mm tube is often sold as ¾" or 20mm nominal bore. Measure across the tube before ordering: this fitting will not grip 21.3mm or 33.7mm tube. The same galvanised fitting is made for 33.7mm and 42.4mm tube.
Fitting and care
Slide the clip onto the tube before the end is closed by another fitting, turn the hook to face the chain or net, and tighten the grub screw firmly with a hex key. Check the screw once a year and touch up scratched galvanising with zinc-rich paint.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one clip?
Yes. The price is for one hook clip with its grub screw. The minimum order is 10.
Can I fit it to a frame that is already built?
Only where you can reach an open tube end, because the ring slides on. Where both ends are closed, loosen and slide off the end fitting first.
Will a chain fall out of the hook?
The hook is open so the chain can be lifted out by hand. Where a chain must stay put, use a shackle or a closed eye instead.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes. The galvanised finish is made for outdoor use.
