Learn more by watching our NLS 30684 | Flat Cable Clips 12mm for 2.5mm Twin & Earth Cable | 5000 Pack video.
The NLS 30684 is a 12mm flat cable clip dimensioned for 2.5mm two core and earth flat cable, supplied in a tub of 5000 clips. Each clip combines an impact-resistant polyethylene body with a zinc plated hardened steel nail, pre-tapped into the clip body ready for installation. The 30684 covers the 12mm clip dimension within the National Light Sources cable clip range, which is also produced in 10mm and 14mm sizes.
Fixing a full house of 2.5mm two core and earth to timber framing consumes clips faster than almost any other electrical consumable on the vehicle. Smaller packages empty partway through a rough-in, and work stops while somebody drives back to the wholesaler. The 5000-clip tub covers an entire domestic installation with capacity remaining, and the 12mm clip dimension corresponds to 2.5mm two core and earth, so the cable seats without compressing the insulation. Anti-droop insulation grips maintain the cable position overhead while the nail penetrates the timber.
Bulk consumables are where installation margin quietly disappears, so purchasing clips by the tub reduces the individual clip cost and removes restocking interruptions. A single 30684 tub travels in the vehicle and supplies consecutive domestic rough-ins without reordering. Single-handed clip-on positioning keeps one hand available for the ladder or the cable while the other delivers the hammer. Stock control stays simple: one clip dimension covers every 2.5mm circuit on the job.
The 30684 is a nail-fixed clip intended for timber. It is not suitable for masonry, concrete or steel stud framing, where the hardened steel nail cannot achieve proper penetration. The 12mm clip is dimensioned for 2.5mm two core and earth only, so it will not retain 1.5mm or 4.0mm flat cable at the correct tension.

"Clips for Days" — Ben
(30684)
The 30684 is the 12mm clip, sized for 2.5mm two core and earth flat cable. NLS also lists a 10mm clip (30683) for 1.5mm two core and earth, and a 14mm clip for 4.0mm. Fitting the wrong size leaves the cable loose in the clip or forces the insulation.
The clips use a zinc plated hardened steel nail intended for timber. Masonry, concrete and steel stud framing need a fixing method suited to that substrate, because the nail will bend or fail to seat. Timber studs, noggins, joists and battens are the intended fixing surfaces.
Each tub holds 5000 clips. Clip spacing is set by the installation method and the wiring rules that apply to the run, so coverage varies from job to job. As a working guide, one tub carries the 2.5mm power circuits across several domestic rough-ins before a reorder is needed.
The nail sits pre-seated in the clip body, so each clip comes out of the tub ready to hammer with no separate nail to line up. Paired with the clip-on body and the anti-droop grips, the cable is held in position before the nail is driven, which helps on overhead work.
Impact-resistant polyethylene, per the National Light Sources datasheet. The material takes a hammer strike without splitting around the nail shoulder, and the moulded grips hold the cable after fixing so runs stay level over time.
Fixing and terminating mains-voltage cable is licensed electrical work in Australia. The clips are a fixing consumable, but the circuit they support must be installed by a licensed electrician. Product warranty is void where installation has not been carried out by a licensed electrician.
Warranty runs one year for domestic use and one year for commercial use, starting from the invoice date, with the warranty method being return to Sparky Direct. A separate 100-day money-back guarantee covers change of mind on unused product in its original packaging.
