Wire Hook System Clipper® Hooks Since its inception, the Clipper® Wire Hook System has earned a reputation for continued innovation and proven performance. Clipper wire hooks have been designed with a variety of different wire diameters, leg and point lengths, metals, strip lengths and styles, such as Unibar® and carded. All are readily available to meet your individual application needs. The double-staggered grip pattern gives wire hooks exceptional holding power without degrading the integrity of the belt carcass. Today’s splices also have a very low profile, making them increasingly more compatible with conveyor components and compliant with the need for reduced operating noise. Typical industries for wire fasteners include: • Package and parts handling • General manufacturing • Commercial laundry • Food processing • Agriculture • Filter media Patents: www.flexco.com/patents

Wire Hook System Fastener Overview Unibar® Fasteners Carded Hooks Unibar® fasteners are formed by welding each Clipper® hook to a common bar. Individual Clipper hooks are secured on carding paper. • Works with any application, including bias splices and troughed belt applications. • Welded bar creates a stable strip of fasteners to eliminate damage during handling. • Patented Safety Strip covers the hook points to protect fingertips, yet is easily removed prior to lacing. • Hook legs are held parallel to simplify “meshing” of belt ends and the insertion of connecting pins. • The risk of a single...

Wire Hook System Fastener Selection Guidelines Specify the Right Clipper® Fastener 1. Measure belt thickness. Use the Clipper® hook gauge, micrometer, or caliper to measure belt thickness. If the belt has an impression cover, skive cover 1" (25 mm) back from belt end prior to measuring. Do not cut belt carcass. Measure pulley diameter. The minimum pulley diameter is the smallest pulley that has a belt wrap of at least 90°. Determine hook choices. Referring to the chart on page 4, locate belt thickness on top of the chart and minimum pulley diameter on the left side. Using the matrix, determine...
