Lubrication Pipe Clips & Tube Clamps — 4 mm to 12 mm
Lubrication pipe clips and tube clamps secure secondary grease and oil lines to machine frames, brackets, and hose trays. IsoHiTech supplies steel (zinc-plated), 304 / 316 stainless, and plastic clamp bodies for 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm tubing—single-tube to 4-tube stack configurations.
Proper clipping prevents vibration fatigue, abrasion against sharp edges, and accidental disconnects that cause starved bearings in progressive and dual-line systems.
Product families
- Tube clip — steel, zinc coating; 4 mm & 6 mm; OEM acceptable
- Tube clamp (1–4 tubes) — 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 mm; durable frame mount
- Rubber-lined clip — band widths 12 / 15 / 20 mm; bore ~5–50 mm
- Plastic clamp (DIN 3015 style) — carbon steel hardware; −40 °C to +120 °C
Pair with lubrication pipe and tubing, pipe fittings guide, and progressive blocks such as Lincoln SSV.

Why Pipe Clips Matter in Centralized Lubrication
Centralized systems route dozens of small-diameter tubes near moving parts, heat shields, and vibration sources. Without clips:
- Tubing rubs through against steel edges (leaks, air ingress)
- Weight of long runs pulls on compression fittings at metering blocks
- Vibration causes fatigue cracks in nylon or copper lines
A lubrication pipe clip holds the line to a fixed bracket while allowing axial movement from thermal expansion when designed with rubber liners or proper clip spacing.
Clip Types & When to Use Them
| Type | Tube size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single tube clip | 4 mm, 6 mm | Progressive secondary lines to bearings |
| Multi-tube clamp (2–4 way) | 6–12 mm | Main line bundles along chassis rails |
| Rubber-lined band clip | 5–50 mm | Hydraulic-style routing, shock isolation |
| DIN 3015 half clamp | 6–12 mm | Standard machine tool panels, OEM panels |
Spacing & Routing Guidelines
- Clip every 300–500 mm on horizontal runs; 150–300 mm near vibration sources (engine, press, axle).
- Keep minimum bend radius per tubing spec (typically ≥6× OD for nylon).
- Route away from exhaust and pinch points; use grommets at sheet-metal holes.
- Support tubing before and after each metering block outlet—avoid side load on adapter threads.
- Label lines at clips for troubleshooting (point ID matching block outlet number).
Materials & Corrosion
- Zinc-plated steel — general industrial, dry environments
- SS304 / SS316 — washdown, marine, food-adjacent (specify on PO)
- Plastic clamp body — lightweight panels; verify temperature range (−40 °C to +120 °C on standard assemblies)

Common sizes: 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm OD. Rubber-lined clips cover approximately 5–50 mm depending on band width.
Typically 300–500 mm on stable runs; 150–300 mm near vibration or flex points.
Yes. 2-, 3-, and 4-tube clamps are available for parallel routing along frames.
Zinc steel for standard plants; 304/316 stainless for corrosive, outdoor, or washdown environments.
Yes, provided clip bore matches tubing OD and material is rated for operating temperature.
Yes. Submit tube OD, clip spacing, material, and drawing for OEM / SS304 / SS316 builds.
