Push-In Cable Clips for Fast Cable and Conduit Installation
Push-in cable clips use an integrated push fixing rather than a separate nail, screw or adhesive pad. They provide a practical way to route compatible conduit, cables and wire bundles where the mounting surface or panel has the correctly sized fixing hole.
This department includes U-shaped push-in conduit saddles and lockable push-mount cable saddles. Although both use a push fixing, their clip geometry, supported diameter and mounting requirements are different.
Always check the exact product specifications before installation. The cable or conduit size, fixing-plug dimensions, required mounting hole and compatible panel or surface must be treated as separate measurements.
Push-In Conduit Saddle Clips
Push-in conduit saddles have a curved U-shaped profile designed to sit over compatible conduit. Their integrated fixing points are pressed into suitable prepared holes, holding the conduit against the mounting surface without separate fixing screws.
The current range includes 16 mm, 20 mm and 25 mm options across selected black, white and grey products. Match the stated size to the actual outside diameter and construction of the conduit rather than relying only on its nominal trade description.
The integrated push fixing still requires a compatible mounting surface and correctly prepared hole. “Push-in” must not be interpreted as meaning that the clip can be pressed directly into every wall, panel or masonry surface without preparation.
Lockable Push-Mount Saddle Clips
Push-mount saddle clips combine an integrated mounting stem with a closable cable saddle. The stem is inserted into a compatible panel hole, after which the saddle retains the cable, flexible conduit or wire bundle.
The current range includes white 28 mm and black 36 mm models with a listed 5 mm mounting plug. Keep the supported cable or bundle size separate from the mounting-plug and recommended-hole dimensions.
The saddle closure should hold the cable without crushing its insulation, distorting flexible conduit or forcing an excessively tight bend. Confirm whether the closure is intended to be reopened before describing the clip as reusable.
Push-In Conduit Saddles vs Push-Mount Cable Saddles
- Conduit saddle: an open U-shaped clip intended to hold compatible conduit against a mounting surface.
- Push-mount cable saddle: a closable saddle intended for compatible cables, wire bundles or flexible conduit.
- Fixing points: conduit saddles may use more than one integrated fixing point, while the lockable saddle models use a central push-mount stem.
- Mounting requirements: each design requires its own documented hole dimensions and compatible mounting material.
- Cable access: an open conduit saddle and a lockable cable saddle do not provide the same retention or reopening method.
Do not combine these products under one generic size filter. A 20 mm conduit size, 28 mm cable capacity and 5 mm mounting plug describe different parts of the installation.
How to Choose the Correct Push-In Cable Clip
- Application: decide whether the clip will hold rigid conduit, flexible conduit, an individual cable or a wire bundle.
- Outside diameter: measure the cable, conduit or completed bundle at the intended fixing point.
- Clip capacity: compare the measurement with the documented internal capacity of the exact clip.
- Mounting hole: verify the required hole diameter separately from the cable or conduit size.
- Panel thickness: check that the push fixing is compatible with the panel or mounting surface.
- Mounting material: confirm whether the clip is designed for a panel, drilled surface or another specific fixing point.
- Closure: choose an open saddle or lockable design according to the required cable retention.
- Colour: select black, white or grey for identification or appearance, not as proof of outdoor suitability.
Installing Push-In Conduit Saddle Clips
- Confirm the conduit outside diameter and select the matching saddle size.
- Check the documented mounting-hole requirements for the exact clip.
- Inspect the intended drilling area for concealed cables, pipes and other services.
- Prepare the required holes using a suitable method for the mounting material.
- Remove loose drilling dust or debris that could obstruct the fixing.
- Position the saddle squarely over the conduit and align its fixing points.
- Press the fixing points evenly into the prepared holes without deforming the clip.
- Check that the conduit is supported without being crushed or forced out of alignment.
Do not publish one universal drill size or installation depth unless it has been verified for every conduit saddle in the department.
Installing Push-Mount Saddle Clips
- Measure the cable or completed bundle and check the saddle capacity.
- Verify the mounting-plug, recommended-hole and panel-thickness specifications.
- Prepare the panel hole where required and remove any sharp edges or swarf.
- Push the mounting stem fully into the compatible hole.
- Position the cable or bundle inside the saddle without twisting or pinching it.
- Close the saddle according to the product design.
- Check that the latch is engaged and the mounting stem is properly retained.
- Inspect the cable for pressure points, sharp bends or damaged insulation.
A clip described as quick-fit or tool-free may still require a prepared mounting hole. Avoid claiming that the complete installation requires no tools unless the fixing point already exists.
Common Applications
- Securing compatible PVC electrical conduit
- Routing selected flexible conduit
- Holding individual electrical or data cables
- Organising small wire bundles in panels and enclosures
- Routing cables through equipment and machinery panels
- Supporting compatible cables in automotive or workshop installations
These are general application examples. The exact cable dimensions, environment, fixing hole and mounting material must still be checked for the individual product.
Mounting Holes and Panel Compatibility
The diameter of the push-mount stem does not automatically establish the correct drilling size. Plug geometry, retaining barbs, panel thickness and mounting material can affect the required hole.
Do not use a loose or oversized hole simply because the fixing can be inserted. An incorrectly sized hole may reduce retention or allow the clip to rotate. An undersized hole may damage the push fixing during installation.
Where clips are fitted to metal panels, remove sharp burrs and swarf that could damage the cable or prevent the fixing from seating correctly.
Indoor, Outdoor and Fire-Safety Considerations
Black colour alone does not prove ultraviolet resistance or outdoor suitability. Outdoor performance depends on the documented clip material, temperature range, ultraviolet exposure, moisture resistance and mounting conditions.
Do not describe these products as waterproof, weatherproof, flame-retardant or suitable for permanent exterior installation unless those properties are supported for the exact complete product.
Ordinary plastic clips should not be marketed as fire-rated cable supports unless the product has the necessary fire-performance documentation. Use an appropriately specified fixing system where resistance to premature cable collapse is required.
Cable and Electrical Safety
The clip must retain the cable without cutting into the insulation, crushing the cable or creating an unsuitable bend. This is particularly important with data, coaxial and fibre cables, where deformation can affect performance.
Do not work on live electrical systems. Fixed electrical wiring should be installed and supported in accordance with the applicable requirements by a competent person.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a push-in cable clip?
It is a cable or conduit support with an integrated fixing that inserts into a compatible prepared hole or panel opening instead of using a separate nail, screw or adhesive pad.
Do push-in cable clips require drilled holes?
They require compatible mounting holes. A hole may already exist in a panel, or it may need to be prepared according to the exact product specifications.
What is the difference between a push-in clip and a push-mount saddle?
A push-in conduit clip normally has an open saddle that sits over conduit. A push-mount saddle has a closable cable-retaining section attached to an integrated panel-mount stem.
Are 28 mm and 36 mm the mounting-hole sizes?
No. The current products list these as their nominal cable or saddle sizes and separately identify a 5 mm mounting plug. The required hole diameter must still be verified independently.
Can push-in clips be used for electrical conduit?
Yes, when the saddle size, conduit outside diameter, fixing hole and mounting surface are compatible with the exact product.
Can push-mount saddle clips be reopened?
The saddle closure may be reopenable on selected designs, but this does not mean that the mounting stem can be repeatedly removed without losing retention. Check the individual product instructions.
Are black push-in cable clips UV-resistant?
Only when ultraviolet resistance is documented for the exact material and finished product. Black colour by itself does not establish outdoor suitability.
Are push-in plastic cable clips fire-rated?
Only when the exact complete fixing system has documented fire-performance testing. General-purpose plastic clips should not be presented as fire-resistant cable supports.
