Before you start

Prepare for a clean installation.

  • Use a compatible setup

    Place compatible clips beneath adjoining tile edges and insert the selected wedges first.

  • Keep the area clear

    Clear adhesive from the clip legs and joints while laying. Check that the wedge and clip sit correctly.

  • Check the pliers fit

    Use the CLIP-IT® Tile Pliers with the compatible wedge and clip. If the tool does not engage the setup as expected, check it with CLIP-IT® before continuing.

Using the product

Position. Tighten. Leave to cure.

Use the pliers during wedge tightening, after tile and clip placement.

  1. Position at the clip and wedge

    Bring the Tile Pliers to the compatible clip and partly inserted wedge.

    Use the tool to push the wedge through the clip; check the engagement against the demonstration.

  2. Tighten the compatible wedge

    Use the pliers to advance the wedge and hold adjoining edges in alignment.

    Check the adjoining tile surfaces as you work and ask CLIP-IT® if you need setup advice.

  3. Leave the setup until curing

    Remove the pliers and leave the clip and wedge in position.

    After curing, remove the clips along the grout line and recover the wedges. Use the pliers during tightening and the appropriate tool for removal.
