Ribbed U Collar Clip 16 x 16mm, Pre-Bent Mild Steel Clip for Wrought Iron Joints

A pre-bent ribbed collar for 16 x 16mm joints in wrought ironwork. This mild steel clip comes already formed into a U, with three rounded ribs across its face. Slip it over two 16 x 8mm flats held face to face, or one 16mm square bar, then fold the legs round the back so the ribbed face binds the joint like a traditional hand-made collar. The price shown is for one clip, with a minimum order of 20.

Why choose these clips

No strip to cut or bend first. Each clip arrives formed, so you only have to close it. That saves real time on a gate or panel with dozens of joints.

The same collar at every joint. Forming by hand gives you collars that drift in width and spacing. These match each other, which shows along a repeating pattern.

Sized to the joint. The 16 x 16mm size is the inside of the clip once closed: 16mm deep and 16mm across. It is a close fit on that joint and no other, so measure yours first.

Traditional look, plain steel. Three ribs give the classic look of Victorian scrollwork. It is bare mild steel, ready to take the same finish as the rest of the panel.

Where it is used

Scroll panels in gates and railings, balustrades, Juliet balconies, overthrows and garden furniture, wherever scrolls meet each other or a straight bar. It is also a neat repair clip on older ironwork where a collar has been lost.

Specifications

How many do you need?

Count one clip for each point where two pieces touch and need binding. Lay out your scrolls, mark every joint and add a few spare, since a clip that is closed badly cannot be reopened cleanly.

Is this the right clip?

Fitting and care

Hold the joint tight in a clamp. Slip the clip on from the front with the ribs facing out, support it with a dolly and fold the legs round the back with a hammer until they lie flat. A small tack weld at the back stops it moving.

Wire brush and degrease, then prime and paint with the rest of the ironwork, or galvanise it with the finished panel.
