Lip clips and spacers - TilersForums.com

[Mike ramsdale]

Just had a look at the RLS clips and thinking about moving with the times and giving them a go. I normally use 2 mm spacers, are the 1.5 mm clips compatable with 2mm spacers or do you not need spacers with the clips also are the pliers needed. I know this is a topic that is well covered on here but I can't find an answer to my questions. Cheers

is 1.2 mm. nominal 1.5 mm. It is not compatible with 2mm spacers. there raimondi spacers. 1.5mm.

Yo definitely need the pliers!

I usually use 1mm clips and then whatever size spacer I want/need. Saves buying different size clips. Pliers are necessary!

Oh, welcome to the 21st century

Yes the last job I used there 3mm clips and wasn't happy with the effort to keep the grout gap tight to 3mm so I'll stick with 1,5mm and spacers.

I'm in Spain so buy a local product but that place seems to be very popular with others on here.

Yes Mike and the 'Block' version of clips they sell is compatible with the Ramondi pliers and wedges and are a lot cheaper also, but still very good.
