Clips for a Pipe Wall

[dublinpiper90]

Title edited for caps and brevity. Rule 9.

I’ve been looking into making a pipe wall, not sure where to purchase the clips that are used I have seen some that are coated ,which I like to protect stems, etc… anyone have any leads to where they have or can be purchased?
Thanks

This is what you’re looking for:

Rubber Pipe Mount Clips-12 – Arango

arangocigarco.com

But Arango doesn’t sell direct to consumers so you’ll need to find a shop willing to order them for you.

Just to throw it out there, you might be able to find something good at your local hardware store. 2 hole bands
or tube talons
could do a good job depending on how you see the finished pipe wall. Those 2 hole bands come in galvanized steel, copper, plastic, and black iron (which I do not recommend) and are extremely inexpensive. The talons come in off white/ beige as well and can be painted, and also budget friendly.

In a pinch you can use these and they tighten down use much or as little (as requires) as desired. Comes in different sizes in a pack of 10

Fishing Rod Wall Mount or Mop Wall Mount

An online search should bring up all of the usual retailers.

At minimum, stay far away from the metal conduits clips. I bought a collection of 24 unsmoked high-grade James Upshalls that were mounted in a very cool retro cabinet. Unfortunely, they used those conduit clips which, by design, have sharp edges along the inside to grip into the conduit. They left deep scratches that were a lot of work to get looking acceptably nice.

Regarding the earlier suggestion for the pipe-specific clamps sold by Arango, Arango distributes a lot of different things. Look for a shop that sells 4th Generation products or Esoterica, but there are many others.

You can also look at fishing rod holders. There are MANY designs available.

I second the advice from @craiginthecorn .
I bought some of thlse filt covered metal holders from a well known local pipe shop. They work well but the sharp edges made deep scratches in two of my pipes before I noticed. I still use them, but always ensure that they hold the pipe where the shank meets the stem.

Rather than use clips, I use tie racks from The Container Store. I put shrink tubing on the metal tines so to avoid any marring of the briar.

You can fit quite a few pipes on there… This sits next to my desk, and I can easily view and grab whatever.

Throw 'em in a drawer to hide them. No one is impressed by a display, at least not favorably, unless it's a fellow tobacco fiend. Keeps light and dust off, too.

Yep, I only keep my acrylic stem pipes out. The rest are in low light.

I don't know what it's like in the USA, but here the new water pipes are made of plastic. It is usually green with some fine lines to know what type of liquid they support and are welded with thermofusion. They are flexible, easy to cut and sand and come in at least 1/2 and 3/4 inches. If cut properly it makes perfect clips for pipes.

You can also buy the plastic dipping solution to ‘dip’ these pipe holders as well to hang them and thus protecting the shanks

Pool cue clips are good.

That's how I store most of my pipes. I wish mine fit so artfully in the various drawers they're in. I really need to pare back. In terms of practical storage, a toolbox with shallow, full extension drawers is perfect. No light means less concerns about stem oxidation, too.
