Description
This is a small metal grip that takes hold of a pendant flex and holds it at the drop you want, sold as a kit of three complete with a threaded stem, washer and nut, and plastic grub screws that bite gently on the cable rather than scoring its sheath. The thread is a standard 10mm, so it works with the cordsets and ceiling plates most decorative pendants are built around. The colour is a flat, chalky white with no shine in it at all.
We keep these on the shelf for flex work of every kind: taking the slack out of an over-long drop above a dining table, bringing a row of pendants back into line when they have settled at slightly different heights, or holding the loop in a cable that has been draped along a beam on purpose. They suit anyone putting a pendant together from separate parts, and anyone who has unpacked a fitting supplied with far more cable than the room will ever need. Matt white is the one we reach for when the ceiling is painted white and the grip is meant to go unnoticed.
The body is metal throughout, while the grub screws are plastic so they hold the flex firmly without chewing into it. Dry rooms are where these belong; steam and splashing are not their territory. An occasional pass with a dry cloth is all the upkeep the white asks for, and household sprays are best kept well away from the paint. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same kit in matt black, polished chrome, black chrome, satin nickel, polished nickel, brass, antique brass, antique copper, antique silver, gilt bronze and French gold, so the grip can follow the metalwork on the rest of the fitting instead of arguing with it.

Frequently Asked
How many grips are in the kit?
Three, each with its own washer, nut and plastic grub screws.
What size is the thread?
It is a 10mm thread, which matches the entry on most decorative pendant cordsets and ceiling plates.
Will the grub screws damage the cable?
They are plastic rather than metal, so they clamp the flex without cutting into the sheath. Tighten them enough to hold and no further.
Is there any wiring involved?
No. This is a non-electrical accessory; it grips and supports the flex only.
How do I keep the white finish looking right?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid solvents, polishes and household sprays, as they can dull the matt surface.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
We would keep it to dry interior rooms rather than damp or exposed positions.
