It's molded from glass-filled polypropylene, so it won't corrode or rust the way a metal P-clip does in a damp bilge. Snap your 15mm pipe in, fasten the clip to a bulkhead or stringer, and your freshwater run stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tidy plumbing run doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone took the time to clip the pipe down every so often instead of letting it sag behind a locker. That's the whole job of the Whale WX1565B. It's a single tube mounting clip sized for 15 millimeter pipe, and it holds one run of that pipe firmly against whatever surface you screw it to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clip is molded from glass-filled polypropylene. In plain terms, that's a plastic with glass fiber mixed in for stiffness. It matters on a boat because a plastic clip doesn't rust, doesn't corrode, and doesn't react with the damp, salty air that lives in a bilge or a cockpit locker. A steel clip in the same spot will leave a rust streak inside a season or two. This one won't. It's black, so it tends to disappear against hull liner, dark panels, and the pipe itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WX1565B is built around Whale's 15 millimeter plumbing system. If you're running Whale semi-rigid pipe for your freshwater supply, this is the clip that matches the outside diameter. The pipe snaps into the saddle and the clip cradles it without pinching or deforming the wall, which is exactly what you want. A crushed pipe restricts flow and can crack down the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling it is about as simple as it gets. Pick your route, hold the pipe where you want it, and fasten the clip to the bulkhead, stringer, or cabinet wall behind it. We don't see mounting hardware listed with this clip, so plan on supplying your own screw to suit the surface. A good rule on any plumbing run is to add a clip near every fitting, near every bend, and then space them out along the straight sections so the pipe can't bounce or chafe when the boat's working in a seaway. One clip on a long unsupported span is asking for a rub-through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a safety angle too. Unsupported pipe vibrates against sharp edges, bulkhead cutouts, and screw heads every time the engine runs or the boat pounds through chop. Give it a season of that and you've got a chafe point, and a chafe point on a freshwater line eventually becomes a leak you find the hard way. Clipping the run down kills the movement before it starts. It also makes the next person's life easier, because a pipe that's clipped on a clean route is a pipe you can actually trace and service later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does it earn its keep? Freshwater pressure lines from the pump to the galley and head. Cold and hot feeds behind a vanity. The supply run to a transom shower. Anywhere 15 millimeter pipe needs to stay put and stay neat. And it isn't only a boat part. Whale builds for the caravan and motorhome world too, so the same clip tidies up an RV water system just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on what this is and isn't. It's sold as a single clip, package quantity one, so if you're plumbing a whole boat from scratch you'll want a handful of them rather than just this one. It's sized specifically for 15 millimeter pipe, so it isn't the right holder for larger-diameter hose or smaller tubing. And it's a mounting clip, not a connector. It holds pipe in place. It doesn't join two pipes together. If you need to join or branch a run, that's a job for the matching tees and connectors in the same 15 millimeter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNone of this is glamorous. But the difference between a plumbing job that looks factory and one that looks like a weekend hack usually comes down to whether the runs are clipped down properly. For a few dollars a clip, the WX1565B is cheap insurance that keeps your pipe where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSized for 15 mm pipe, matches the outside diameter of Whale's semi-rigid plumbing tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded from glass-filled polypropylene, so it won't rust or corrode in a damp bilge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSnap-in saddle cradles the pipe without pinching or deforming the wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish blends into hull liner, dark panels, and the pipe itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-conductive plastic, no galvanic concerns against nearby metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as a single clip for securing one run of pipe to a bulkhead or surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks on boats, caravans, and motorhomes wherever 15 mm freshwater pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Whale Marine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size pipe does the WX1565B fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's sized for 15 millimeter pipe, matching the outside diameter of Whale's semi-rigid plumbing tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat's the clip made of?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eGlass-filled polypropylene.
