PEX clips for wire mesh.

Alan (California Radiant) Forbes

I haven't tied PEX tubing to wire mesh in awhile and have lost my source for these clips. Does anyone know where to get them?

They used to be made by Southington Tool & Mfg., but not any more it seems.

those were crazy hard on the fingers and I worried about a fairly sharp edge if the tube ever did move, below the pour for example.

What about the plastic snap on clips. Or rent a rebar tie tool., the Pex Gun . Maybe some of the wholesalers around you loan them.

Here are some clip options. The black one is Viega.

These work great. Big time saver and simple to use. Have used them for 10’yrs only time they don’t work is on 9” centers. 12” work perfect. They also make orange PAP tubing looking really nice. Jeffry

Thanks, guys! I called the PEX Gun offices last year and left a message about wanting to try out their tool; never heard back.

I ordered a bag of 1/2" Quips, but why won't they work on 9" centers?
