Description
A small metal grip that holds a pendant flex where you want it, finished in gilt bronze with a warm, slightly aged gold tone. The kit arrives as three pieces, with a 10mm thread, a washer and a nut, plus plastic grub screws that bear on the cable rather than biting into it. The parts are compact and sized to sit neatly at the top of a flex without drawing attention.
We keep these for jobs where a flex needs holding at a set length: a single drop over a worktop, a cluster of pendants above a dining table, or a rewired older fitting that arrived without its original grip. They suit anyone building or restoring a light with fabric or PVC flex, and they earn their keep when a shade is swapped and the old ironmongery no longer matches. Because the grip is on show rather than hidden, we would pick the one that echoes the metalwork already on the fitting.
The body is metal, plated in gilt bronze, while the grub screws are plastic so they bed onto the cable gently. Wipe the plating over with a soft dry cloth when you dust the fitting; polishes and spirit-based cleaners will dull the gilt, so leave those in the cupboard. It carries a one year warranty. No lamp or wiring comes into it, as this is a component for a light rather than a light in its own right. We stock the same kit in matt white, matt black, polished chrome, antique brass, antique copper, black chrome, satin nickel, antique silver, polished nickel, French gold and plain brass, and there are compression cord grips in black, white and clear if something plainer suits the fitting better.

Frequently Asked
How many grips are in the kit?
Three, and each comes with a washer, a nut and plastic grub screws.
What thread does it have?
A 10mm thread, which is the common size for decorative flex entries and grip plates.
Will the screws mark my flex?
The grub screws are plastic, so they grip the cable without the sharp bite of a steel screw. Tighten only as far as needed to hold the flex.
Can it be used with fabric-covered cable?
Yes. It is happy with braided fabric flex as well as standard PVC round flex.
How do I keep the gilt bronze looking right?
A soft dry cloth is all it needs. Avoid metal polish, cream cleaners and anything spirit-based, as these will take the shine off the plating.
Is it heavy enough to notice on a light?
No. The whole kit weighs 0.05kg, so it adds nothing meaningful to a pendant.
