Texwipe TX7102C ClipperMop™ Replacement Tether Clips and Screws (Refills) — Polyethylene Clips + Nylon Screws
TX7102C is the replacement clip-and-screw kit that keeps the Texwipe ClipperMop™ wiper-attachment system working the way it was designed: secure a fresh cleanroom wiper to the mop head quickly, then release and dispose of the spent wiper without generating avoidable fibers, particles, or “tool-made” debris. In critical environments, these small hardware pieces matter because worn clips, missing screws, or improvised fasteners can turn a validated mopping method into a contamination risk.

For over 35 years, SOS and Texwipe have been close partners, and SOSCleanroom is the authorized Master Distributor of ITW Texwipe for the United States market. That relationship matters for cleanroom mopping programs: it supports continuity of supply, stable product lineage, and fast access to the manufacturer documentation your QA/QC team expects.

Why replacement clips belong in your controlled-tool plan
ClipperMop™ performance depends on the clip interface. When clips are worn, bent, missing, or swapped with non-qualified fasteners, common outcomes include wiper slippage, uneven surface contact, streaking, and unintended debris generation. Treat replacement clips and screws like spare parts for a controlled tool — staged clean, tracked by room/zone if applicable, and installed using a defined method.
Fitment and compatibility notes
ClipperMop™ documents have evolved over time. Use this table to align your site standard to the documentation set you control under change management.
Compatible equipment As published How to use this in your SOP
TX7102 (7" x 4" ClipperMop™ kit) TX7102C clips/screws for use with TX7102 Use TX7102C for clip replacement when clips no longer retain wipers securely or when clips show damage/abrasion.
TX7103 (11" x 4" ClipperMop™ kit) TX7102C clips/screws for use with TX7103 Maintain spare clip kits per room/zone so repairs do not drive “workarounds” with non-qualified clips or tape.
TX7112 (7" x 4" replacement head) and TX7113 (11" x 4" replacement head) TX7102C clips/screws listed as compatible with TX7112 and TX7113 in ClipperMop™ Series TDS If you stock head-only replacements, stock clips alongside heads to keep rebuilt assemblies consistent.
Practical cleanroom use guidance (technicians and engineers)
  • Change parts before they fail: Replace clips when you see wiper slippage, uneven tension across the wiper, visible clip damage, or recurring streaking that tracks to a specific head position.
  • Avoid improvised fasteners: Tape, metal hardware, or non-qualified clips can shed, abrade the head, or leave residue. In critical environments, “temporary” fixes become contamination events.
  • Install with clean handling discipline: Handle clips/screws with clean gloves; stage parts on a clean surface; do not place loose hardware on benches where particles and residues can transfer.
  • Verify retention before entering critical zones: After installation, attach a wiper and perform a controlled pull check (light tension) to confirm clips hold without tearing the wiper.
  • Keep clip kits where the work happens: Stock replacement clip kits near mopping points-of-use to avoid rushed repairs and cross-zone tool movement.
Field installation checklist (reduces streaking, slippage, and debris)
Step What to do Why it matters
1. Inspect head interface Check clip mounting points for cracks, burrs, or debris before installing new clips. Damaged interfaces can create particle traps and prevent proper wiper tension.
2. Replace like-for-like Use the correct polyethylene clips and nylon screws from TX7102C; avoid mixed hardware. Maintains a consistent, documented tool configuration for audits and investigations.
3. Tighten to secure — not to crush Tighten screws until clips are secure and aligned; do not over-torque nylon hardware. Over-tightening can strip nylon threads, distort clips, or create stress points that crack later.
4. Confirm wiper engagement Attach a wiper and confirm it is flat, tensioned, and does not walk off during light pulling. Poor engagement is a primary cause of streaks, skipped areas, and redeposition.
Common failure modes 
  • Wiper slippage / “walk-off”: Typically from worn clips, missing screws, or clip misalignment. Prevent with scheduled inspection and prompt clip replacement.
  • Streaking from uneven contact: A loose clip can allow the wiper to bunch, creating high-pressure ridges that leave film lines. Prevent with installation checks and pad/head condition control.
  • Debris generation from improvised repairs: Tape, metal screws, or non-qualified clips can shed, abrade, or leave residue. Prevent by stocking TX7102C kits at point-of-use.
  • Stripped nylon screws: Over-tightening can strip threads and compromise retention. Prevent by tightening only to secure and by replacing damaged screws immediately.
  • Cross-zone contamination: Repairing a tool in a dirtier area, then returning it to a higher-grade suite without controlled handling. Prevent by zoning tools and controlling where repairs occur.
Storage and handling best practices
  • Keep TX7102C in original packaging until use; open only what you need for the repair to reduce loose-part handling.
  • Stage spare clip kits by room/zone when programs require segregation (avoid “roaming” spare parts carts between grades).
  • Dispose of damaged clips/screws immediately; do not return them to clean storage where they can be reused accidentally.
  • Document repairs when required by your controlled-tool SOP (date, area, head ID, and parts replaced) for traceability.

The Technical Vault Preventive Maintenance for Flat Mop Assemblies (Applied Use Case: Texwipe™ TX7102C ClipperMop™ Replacement Tether Clips & Screws — Refills)

Purpose & Scope

The TX7102C refill kit contains replacement tether clips and screws for ClipperMop™ assemblies. In cleanrooms, small hardware parts have an outsized impact: loose clips or missing screws can create particle generation, snag points that tear covers, and control drift that shows up as streaking, incomplete contact, or “mop chatter.” This Technical Vault entry treats tether hardware as a preventive maintenance (PM) control—not a convenience accessory.

Visual Aids (Technique, Zoning, Lifecycle)

Use this graphic to reinforce tool lifecycle discipline. Hardware integrity is part of the lifecycle: worn clips/screws can undermine otherwise correct technique and chemistry.

Cleanroom mopping technique, zoning control, and tool lifecycle diagram

Implementation note: Many “mop performance” problems are actually mechanical: loose hardware, misalignment, or snag points.

Why Tether Clips & Screws Matter More Than You Think

  • Retention stability: consistent cover/pad retention maintains flat contact and repeatable lane performance.
  • Snag prevention: worn clips or protruding screw heads can tear mop covers and release fibers/particles.
  • Particle control: loose hardware can vibrate (“chatter”), generating particles and leaving streak patterns.
  • Process consistency: mechanical drift shows up as inconsistent wetting, poor edge control, and rework.

Inspection Routine (Fast Checks That Prevent Deviations)

Most facilities inspect mop covers and buckets but forget the head hardware. Add a simple pre-use inspection step to reduce “mystery streaking” and unexpected cover tears.

  • Before each use: confirm clips are secure and seated; verify screws are not backing out.
  • Touch test: run a gloved finger lightly over retention points—feel for burrs, sharp edges, or protrusions.
  • Alignment check: confirm retention points hold the cover evenly (no skew that causes edge riding).
  • After chemical exposure: inspect more frequently if tools are exposed to aggressive chemistries that can affect hardware fit.

Preventive Maintenance (PM) Logic You Can Document

Hardware refills support a clean, defensible PM approach: replace small parts before they create a deviation. This is especially valuable in critical environments where investigations consume time and disrupt schedules.

  • Define a PM cadence: inspect per shift/day; perform deeper tool inspections weekly/monthly (based on usage and risk).
  • Link to performance signals: repeated cover tearing, rail lines, or chatter patterns trigger hardware inspection/replacement.
  • Standardize spare parts: keep a controlled spare kit so tools aren’t “patched” with non-matching hardware.

Installation Controls (Avoid Introducing New Problems)

  • Use correct tools: avoid stripping screw heads which creates particle/debris risk.
  • Confirm flush fit: ensure screw heads and clip edges do not protrude into the cover contact surface.
  • Post-install wipe-down: after servicing, clean the head and hardware to remove any handling residues.
  • Functional check: attach a cover and confirm even retention and flat contact before entering critical zones.

Details Most Sites Skip (But They Explain Real Failures)

  • Rail-line root cause: repeated straight-line streaks can be hardware misalignment, not chemistry.
  • Cover “mystery tears”: a single burr on a clip edge can shred covers and look like “bad material.”
  • Chatter particles: micro-vibration from loose screws generates particles and creates inconsistent wet lanes.
  • Cross-zone integrity: a loose clip can drop hardware—an immediate controlled-environment event.

SOP & Audit Readiness Checklist (Mop Hardware)

  • Include head hardware in pre-use inspection (clips secure, screws seated, no burrs/protrusions).
  • Define PM triggers tied to performance signals (tears, streaks, chatter, retention drift).
  • Standardize spare parts and prohibit non-matching substitutions in critical zones.
  • Require post-maintenance cleaning and a functional check with a cover attached.
  • Document corrective actions when hardware defects are found (replace, clean, recheck).
