Description
A small chrome cable grip supplied as a three-piece kit, with a 10mm thread, a washer and nut, and plastic grub screws that bear on the flex rather than cut into it. It is the sort of part that does not announce itself: in use, all you see is a neat metal collar where the cable leaves the fitting, keeping the drop where you set it instead of letting the flex hang slack. The polished chrome is bright and mirror-clear, so it sits happily against chrome ceiling roses, rods and pendant caps.
We reach for these when someone is building a pendant up from separate parts, or wants the cable on a light they already own to sit tidily rather than loop. They suit kitchen islands and dining tables, where a run of pendants looks best with each cable reading as a clean vertical line. A single pack covers a short run of pendants without hunting down a second set. Anyone who likes their lighting made up to order, in a finish chosen to match taps, handles and switch plates, will find them useful.
The body is metal throughout, plated and polished, with the grub screws in plastic so they hold the flex without marking it. Keep it looking new by wiping the chrome with a dry cloth and buffing off fingerprints, which show more readily on a mirrored surface than on a brushed one; nothing stronger than that is needed. It carries a one year warranty. Being non-electrical, there is no lamp involved here at all. The same grip is stocked in matt black, matt white, satin nickel, polished nickel, brass, antique brass, antique copper, antique silver, black chrome, gilt bronze and French gold, and we also keep plain compression cord grips in black, white and clear.

Frequently Asked
What comes in the pack?
Three metal cable grips in polished chrome, each with a 10mm thread, washer and nut, along with plastic grub screws.
Is this an electrical item?
No. It is a purely mechanical accessory, rated IP20 for dry indoor rooms, and it carries no lamp or wiring of its own.
Will it damage the flex?
The grub screws are plastic rather than steel, so they grip the cable sheath without cutting into it.
How should the chrome be cleaned?
A dry, soft cloth is enough. Fingerprints buff away easily; abrasive creams and scouring pads should be kept away from plated finishes.
How heavy is the kit?
Very light at around 0.05kg for the pack, so it adds nothing meaningful to the weight of a pendant.
Can I match it to other finishes in the range?
Yes. The same grip is made in eleven other finishes, including matt black, satin nickel, brass and French gold.
