P clip or similar for twin hose?

[JSYmartini]

I'm fitting an autopilot on my boat and re-routing the hoses from the helm to the pump. The 2 high pressure hoses are paired, ie stuck together along their length.

Looking for a neat way to retain the hoses as they route through the engine compartment etc, like a p clip or similar but can accommodate both hoses, any ideas?

Hoses are 16mm diameter so need something 16x32 ish

You could use a small p clip and then cable tie through the small p clip.

Perhaps these but you will have to split the hose as they pass through, apart from that call in at your local Pertek franchise they might have something.

You haven't met me obviously (bit of a neat freak )

I've found plenty of clips that take two separate hoses/pipes but I'd like together really.

Thanks for the tips so far, the search continues though!

Have you tried J clips?

 

[JSYmartini]

Like this?

 

[NB Willawaw]

Yes although some are more rounded.

Alternatively get the numbers of the hydraulic piping and look up the mounting hardware for it on t'internet.

Something like this with added grommets to prevent chafe.

There are double clips available for 15mm tube but like the suggestions above they will require the pipes to be separated where they pass through them

Why not just make up some clips wide enough for the double tube by bending them up from some copper obtained by opening out and flattening some copper tube

something like this

Sleeving the copper strips before bending would protect against chafe if thought necessary

Don't know what size pipe you have but THESE would do if 15mm. From my favourite shop!

But that would require the two hoses to be separated. The OP does not want to do that.

 

[JSYmartini]

Thanks for the suggestions but nothing's really suiting my needs.
Looks like I'll have to do like VicS says and make my own.

Thanks again to all.

Could you use, well, Pclips. Like these perhaps. You would have to try various sizes to find out which would be best and possibly compress them round a suitable former to flatten the C/S, but once one was right the rest would be easy.

Flatten some old copper tube and make your own - Easy!

Just get some nice big, lined P clips and slightly re form to suit the "flatter" profile of twin pipes, I do it with battery cables where they run together to save cost as you only need half the number and SS rubber lined ones are not cheap.
