Description
Cable grips are the small parts that decide whether a hanging flex looks considered or improvised. This one is metal, finished in a soft matt black with no shine to catch the eye, and it comes as a three-piece kit with a threaded body, a washer and a nut, plus plastic grub screws to hold the flex where you want it. It is a small thing, light in the hand, and made to sit quietly against dark cable.
We reach for grips like this whenever a pendant is being made up from parts, or an older fitting needs its flex tidied and held properly where it leaves the shade. There is enough in the kit for a small cluster, or a spare put by for later. It suits anyone working with black or dark braided flex, where a chrome or brass grip would announce itself; here the finish stays quiet and the cable keeps the attention. The 10mm thread is the standard across the range, so it pairs with the usual run of shade rings, ceiling plates and lampholders.
The body is metal throughout, with the grub screws in plastic so they clamp the cable without scoring the outer sheath. The matt black is even across the pieces, and it keeps looking right with nothing more than an occasional wipe from a dry cloth; keep polishes and solvents away, since they can leave a patchy sheen on a matt surface. It carries a one year warranty. Being non-electrical, it draws nothing and takes no lamp of its own. We stock the same kit in matt white, polished chrome, antique brass, satin nickel, black chrome, antique copper and brass, so a grip can be matched to the fitting rather than left to contrast.

Frequently Asked
What comes in the kit?
Three metal cable grips in matt black, each supplied with a 10mm thread, a washer, a nut and plastic grub screws.
Is this an electrical item?
No. It is a non-electric accessory rated IP20, intended for dry indoor rooms, and it has no lamp of its own.
Will the grub screws mark the flex?
They are plastic rather than steel, so they hold the cable firmly while being kinder to the outer sheath than a metal screw would be.
How big and how heavy are the parts?
They are small components; the three-piece kit weighs around 50g in total.
What is the best way to keep the finish looking good?
A dry cloth is all that is needed. Metal polish, cream cleaners and solvents can dull or blotch a matt black surface, so leave them out of it.
Can I get these grips in another finish?
Yes. The same kit is offered in matt white, polished chrome, polished nickel, satin nickel, black chrome, antique brass, antique copper, antique silver, brass, French gold and gilt bronze.
