The Britclip spring steel fasteners range have been manufactured in the UK for many years and they offer a quick, easy and reliable method of fixing services to steelwork without the need for bracket making, drilling holes or the use of nuts and bolts. Every Britclip spring steel fastener has been developed to reduce installation time. They are simple and easy to install, using a hammer, screwdriver, spanner or pliers. The majority of Britclip spring steel fasteners are mechanically zinc plated. The clips are subjected to a process of MECHANICAL GALVANISING, which deposits a layer of zinc to a minimum thickness of 25 microns, followed by a passivation process that organically creates a protective layer in the zinc. This gives a high level of protection against first white corrosion and first red rust according to ASTM-B695-90 or equivalent. Britclip fasteners are manufactured using steel in accordance to BS1449 PT2 grade CS70. Furthermore products are annealed and oiled. All components are hardened and aust tempered using the shaker hearth furnace method to give a final hardness reading of 400-450 HV-10 Vickers
