# What Are Wing-Type Pipe Clips Used For?

Supports, Clamps & Brackets · Trade series (wing-type channel pipe clips) · Application guide

Typical applications, the industries that specify wing-type pipe clips, and how to choose the right size, material and finish for the joint.

Wing-Type Pipe Clips are used for carrying or reinforcing a run of pipe, tray or rail, with separate bolts or rods making the final fixing. They are manufactured to Trade series (wing-type channel pipe clips), and selection is driven by the nominal size, the fit and tolerance the assembly requires, and the service environment.

- **Primary duty:** Carrying or reinforcing a run of pipe, tray or rail, with separate bolts or rods making the final fixing
- **Governing standard:** Trade series (wing-type channel pipe clips)
- **Category:** Supports, Clamps & Brackets

Application notes are general engineering guidance. Verify the property class and any approval requirement against your own design calculation.

The primary duty of Wing-Type Pipe Clips is carrying or reinforcing a run of pipe, tray or rail, with separate bolts or rods making the final fixing. Below: the sectors that specify them in volume, the checklist used to select the right size and material for the application, installation notes, and the known limits of the type.

## Typical Applications for Wing-Type Pipe Clips

The most common settings where these are specified:

- **General machine building:** fastening covers, brackets, motors and sub-assemblies on production equipment.
- **Maintenance & repair (MRO):** a stocked size for servicing existing plant where the original fastener spec must be matched.
- **Fabrication & metalwork:** bench and on-site assembly of steel frames, enclosures and weldments.

## How to Specify Wing-Type Pipe Clips for Your Application

- **Size:** Match the size to the mating part — see the dimension table below for each option.
- **Material:** Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
- **Environment:** For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
- **Standard:** This product is supplied to Trade series (wing-type channel pipe clips). Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.

## Where Wing-Type Pipe Clips Are Not the Right Choice

Match the fastener to the load, environment and whether the joint must be reopened; the wrong class or style is the usual cause of joint failure.

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

## Need a wing-type pipe clips outside the standard range?

With no standard to depart from, the tolerance scheme is the specification — which dimensions are critical, and which are simply nominal. Made by milling or stamping.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
