Illadelph 19/22 Keck Clip — Joint Connection Insurance
A keck clip (also called a joint clip or ground-glass clip) is a small precision-molded plastic component that wraps around a ground-glass joint connection and snaps shut, mechanically locking the male and female sides together so a slide can't fall out or be knocked loose mid-session. The 19/22 designation refers to the ground-glass joint sizes the clip fits: a 19mm outside-diameter female end joining a 22mm outside-diameter male end — the standard junction for downstem-to-bowl connections on most 14mm and 18mm water pipes.
Illadelph's 19/22 clips are precision-injection-molded from a tough thermoplastic with a satin matte finish, the brand's molded logo visible on the body. The clip arm tension is calibrated specifically to standard Illadelph and most third-party 19/22 joints — enough holding force to prevent accidental disconnect, light enough to remove cleanly when cleaning or swapping slides. Eight color options let you color-code multiple rigs in a collection or match the clip to a specific accent piece.
At Angie's Boutique, 838 N Broadway in Downtown LA, we carry the full Illadelph clip family across 19/22, 34/28, and 40/50 joint sizes. Browse all Illadelph Glass or explore smoking accessories for the complete setup.

Not Recommended For:
- 14mm or 18mm joint sizes — those use different clip sizes (this is specifically 19/22)

How To Use The Clip
- Seat the slide or downstem fully into its joint — the ground-glass surfaces should be in full contact
- Open the clip arms and position over the joint, with the wider flange on the female side and the narrower on the male
- Press the arms shut until you feel the locking detent engage
- To remove: gently spread the arms back open and lift the clip off; never pry against the glass
- Inspect the clip periodically for cracks or worn arm tension and replace if either is present
Common Questions About The Illadelph 19/22 Clip
How do I know if my pipe uses a 19/22 joint?
Most 14mm and 18mm water pipes use a 19/22 ground-glass joint at the downstem-to-bowl connection. The 19mm refers to the outside diameter of the female (receiving) side and 22mm refers to the outside diameter of the male (inserted) collar. If your pipe is a standard beaker, straight tube, or bubbler in the 14–18mm range, the 19/22 clip almost certainly fits. For very small dab rigs (10mm) or for tube-to-base connections on large bongs, you'll need a different clip size.
Will a generic clip work or does it have to be Illadelph?
Generic clips are widely available and physically fit 19/22 joints, but the clip arm tension and material quality vary considerably. A generic clip with weak tension can release unexpectedly and drop your slide; one with excessive tension can stress the glass. Illadelph's clip arm spring is calibrated specifically for the 19/22 standard, and the thermoplastic resists deformation from solvent exposure better than commodity plastic.
Can I leave the clip on while torch-heating my banger?
No — keep plastic clips away from direct flame and high heat. The 19/22 clip is meant for the downstem-to-bowl connection, well removed from torch heat. For banger-to-slide or other high-heat junctions, use a clip specifically rated for heat or skip the clip and rely on a snug ground-glass fit.
Does the color affect anything other than appearance?
No — all eight colors are the same thermoplastic and identical in arm tension, fit, and durability. Color choice is purely cosmetic. Many users color-code multiple rigs (so you don't grab the wrong slide) or coordinate the clip to a glass accent color on the pipe.
