Description
This is the small piece of hardware that takes the weight of a hanging flex and keeps a pendant sitting exactly where you want it. It arrives as a three piece kit: the grip body itself, with a 10mm thread, washer and nut, and plastic grub screws that press on the cable rather than cutting into it. The antique silver finish is a soft, slightly greyed metal with the shine knocked back, so it reads as older brightwork rather than fresh chrome.
We reach for these when a flex needs to stop at a set length: a run of pendants over an island where the drops must match, a single shade above a dining table, or a bedside flex that wants shortening a little. They suit anyone putting a light together from parts, or tidying up a pendant that has always hung a touch too long. Because the kit comes as a set, a small group of pendants can be brought into line in one go, all in the same finish.
It is all metal and not an electrical item in itself, and the grub screws are plastic so they sit against the cable sheath without marking it. Keep a dry cloth to it now and then, and leave polishes and solvents alone, since anything abrasive will strip the aged look back to bare shine. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same kit in antique brass, antique copper, brass, French gold, polished nickel, polished chrome, black chrome, satin nickel, gilt bronze, matt black and matt white, so it can be matched to the holder and the rest of the flex above it.

Frequently Asked
What is included in the kit?
It is supplied as a three piece kit, with a 10mm thread, a washer and nut, and plastic grub screws.
Will the grip mark the cable?
The grub screws are plastic rather than steel, so they bear on the sheath and are much kinder to it than a metal screw would be.
Is this an electrical item?
No. It is a non-electrical accessory, rated IP20 for dry indoor use, and it carries no lampholder or wiring of its own.
How should I clean the antique silver finish?
A dry or barely damp cloth is all it needs. Metal polishes, creams and solvents will lift the aged tone and leave the metal looking raw.
Which other finishes can I have?
We keep the same kit in antique brass, antique copper, brass, French gold, polished nickel, polished chrome, black chrome, satin nickel, gilt bronze, matt black and matt white.
