Before you start
Prepare for a clean installation.
Check the kit contents
The listed kit contains 150 × 1.5 mm Tile Clips, 100 × Wedges, one Tile Pliers and one DE-CLIP-IT Hammer. Confirm current contents with your stockist.
Check tile thickness and joint
Use the white 1.5 mm clips for 6–12 mm tiles and a 1.5 mm grout joint.
Prepare the base and adhesive
Make sure the base is clean, flat and level. Apply suitable tile adhesive with the appropriate trowel, following the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.
Using the product
Place. Tighten. Remove.
Follow the three stages for your clip and compatible wedge.
Place the clips and adjoining tiles
Set the first tile firmly, then slide the clip base under its exposed edge. Keep the upright part of the clip at the tile edge.
Lay the next tile against the clip so the base sits beneath both tile edges. Keep the joints consistent as you continue laying.
Insert and tighten the wedges
Push a compatible CLIP-IT® wedge through the clip opening to hold the adjoining tile edges in alignment.
Use the included Wedges and Tile Pliers to tighten the compatible setup. Leave it in place while the adhesive cures.
Let the adhesive cure, then remove
Wait until the adhesive has cured, following the adhesive manufacturer’s curing instructions.
Kick along the grout line, or use the DE-CLIP-IT Hammer in the same direction. Recover the wedges and keep them for reuse.

Kit contents, clip fit and removal.
What is included?
The listed kit contains 150 × 1.5 mm Tile Clips, 100 × Wedges, one Tile Pliers and one DE-CLIP-IT Hammer. Confirm current kit contents and availability with your stockist.
Does 1.5 mm mean the tile thickness?
No. It is the grout joint. The white clips in this kit are for 6–12 mm tiles.
When can I remove the clips?
After the adhesive or bedding material has cured. Follow its manufacturer’s curing instructions; there is no single curing time for every product and job.
Why is a clip not breaking cleanly?
Excess adhesive around the clip legs can interfere with removal. Keep that area clear during laying, allow curing, and remove along the grout line. Contact CLIP-IT® if a clip remains stuck.
Can the wedges be reused?
Yes. Recover the compatible wedges after clip removal and keep them for the next installation. The clips are designed to break at the base during removal.
How many clips will I need?
Use the CLIP-IT® tile clip calculator to estimate quantities from your material dimensions and project area. Allow for cuts and the chosen layout, and check pack availability with your stockist.
