Lip clips and spacers

[Mike ramsdale]

Just had a look at the RLS clips and thinking about moving with the times and giving them a go. I normally use 2 mm spacers, are the 1.5 mm clips compatable with 2mm spacers or do you not need spacers with the clips also are the pliers needed. I know this is a topic that is well covered on here but I can't find an answer to my questions. Cheers

is 1.2 mm. nominal 1.5 mm. It is not compatible with 2mm spacers. there raimondi spacers. 1.5mm.

Yo definitely need the pliers!

I usually use 1mm clips and then whatever size spacer I want/need. Saves buying different size clips. Pliers are necessary!

Oh, welcome to the 21st century

Yes the last job I used there 3mm clips and wasn't happy with the effort to keep the grout gap tight to 3mm so I'll stick with 1,5mm and spacers.

I'm in Spain so buy a local product but that place seems to be very popular with others on here.

Never used spacer on a floor, just use a straight edges and a well trained eye..

Yes Mike and the 'Block' version of clips they sell is compatible with the Ramondi pliers and wedges and are a lot cheaper also, but still very good.
