Description

Overview

The F Type Anti Spray Clip is a small but critical fastening piece used to secure spray suppressant skirting or filament to a mudguard or spray suppression frame. It holds the edge of the material firmly, so the skirt stays aligned behind the wheel instead of twisting or drifting. Because clips take the vibration load every kilometre, swapping a worn clip early helps prevent the skirting from tearing at the mounting line.

Features

• F type clip profile designed to grip spray suppressant material
• Steel construction for durability in transport conditions
• Simple clip-on fitment for quick replacement during maintenance

Compatibility and Fitment

This clip suits many spray suppressant set-ups used on heavy vehicles, however you should still confirm the clip profile matches the edge thickness of your skirting. If you are chasing a like-for-like replacement, match the existing F Type Anti Spray Clip profile on your set-up. Before fitting, clean away grit and old rubber or filament strands, because debris can stop the clip from seating fully. If the skirt has hardened, torn, or curled, replace it at the same time so the new clip can grip evenly. When you tighten the mounting hardware, keep the skirt straight and tensioned, then re-check after the first run because the material can settle.

Compliance and Safety

Spray suppression and wheel guard coverage matters because it helps protect other road users from spray, stones, and debris. When you service or replace clips, make sure the mudguard and skirting still sit in the correct position and stay secure under vibration. Also, wear gloves when handling metal clips because sharp edges can cut during installation.

Trailer Applications

You will typically see this style of clip on prime movers, semi-trailers, B-doubles, rigid trucks, and trailers that run spray suppressant skirting behind the wheels. It suits fleet maintenance and repairs where a missing clip lets the skirt flap or contact the tyre.
