Description
This is a three piece kit of small metal cable grips in polished nickel, made for holding a pendant flex steady and keeping a drop at the length you set it. Each grip comes with a 10mm thread, a washer and a nut, along with plastic grub screws that close onto the cable. The polish is bright and mirror-like, and it sits comfortably beside chrome taps, nickel switch plates and the cooler metals already in a room. Small enough to disappear into the line of the flex, it is the sort of part that only gets noticed when it is the wrong colour.
People come to us for these when a flex is longer than it needs to be over a kitchen island, or when the cable coming down from a rose is doing something untidy. They suit anyone tidying an existing pendant as much as anyone building a flex fitting up from separate parts. We reach for them where the cable is on show and a plain plastic grip would look wrong against a smart pendant, and we keep a set by for rewired lamps and workshop repairs.
The kit is metal throughout apart from the grub screws, which are plastic. A dry soft cloth is all the finish asks for; keep polishes and scouring creams away from it, as both will dull the shine on nickel. It carries a one year warranty. The same kit is offered in matt black, matt white, polished chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, brass, antique copper, black chrome, antique silver, gilt bronze and French gold, and the range also runs to compression cord grip packs in black, white and clear if something plainer suits.

Frequently Asked
What comes in the kit?
Three metal cable grips in polished nickel, each supplied with a 10mm thread, a washer and a nut, plus plastic grub screws.
Is this an electrical item?
No. It is a non-electrical accessory, so there is no lamp and no socket involved. It simply grips the flex of the fitting it serves.
What is it made from?
Metal with a polished nickel finish, apart from the grub screws, which are plastic.
How should I clean it?
Wipe it now and then with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid metal polishes, scouring creams and any solvent, all of which can take the shine off nickel.
Can I match the finish to a fitting I already have?
Yes. The same kit is made in matt black, matt white, polished chrome, satin nickel, antique brass, brass, antique copper, black chrome, antique silver, gilt bronze and French gold.
Is there a warranty?
It carries a one year warranty.
