Left-Handed Clips
Non-symmetrical clips (PR, e, e-PLUS, & Re) are normally right-handed and should be inserted into the shoulder anchor point from the right-hand side of the shoulder, when facing the rail. Left-handed variants are required in areas of restricted access around the shoulders, and are fitted from the opposite end of the shoulder (i.e the left-hand side of shoulder). Left-handed clips are typically needed around IBJs and S&C layouts. The equivalence chart below shows which clips are interchangeable between the standard right-handed and left-handed variants. Right-Handed Clips PR401A PR427A e1809 eP20129 Equivalent Left-Handed Clips PR402A PR428A e1810 eP20130

Pad Identification
PANDROL pads are an important part of the rail fastening system.Rail pads provide a conforming layer between the rail seat and the rail, provide electrical resistance, and protect concrete sleepers from impact loading. Modern pads are 10 mm thick. Low stiffness studded rubber pads are used for 25t axle loads on concrete sleepers. Stiffened pads are used for 30t axle loads on concrete sleepers to prevent excessive dynamic gauge widening. Steel sleepers use hard EVA pads of 10mm thickness.

Special Applications
2. Zero longitudinal restraint (ZLR) assemblies to provide rail free longitudinal movement of the rail. Used to provide differential movement between the rails and long bridge structures, or stressing relief for ground subsidence due to mining activities. ZLR assemblies use normal toe-load clips, but divert the clamping force in other directions providing a gap over the rail foot and allowing the rail to slide longitudinally in the gap. In the event of the rail moving to close gap (such as rail roll) the nominal toe-load is immediately available to prevent further overturning movement. The components below can be used with existing sleeper configurations to alter the fastening assembly into a ZLR assembly. Sleeper Type(s)

The original FASTCLIP tools have now been superseded with new tools which are more efficient, faster to use and safer. Both of the new tools look different from the earlier tools, because they react from the rail instead of from the shoulder in the sleepers. See the section on the opposite page. The original versions of the VIPA-SP & SFC hand-tools are illustrated below, and these remain suitable for use. Pandrol has discontinued the original versions shown below.

It is recommended for safety reasons that contractors should formally check and record the wear of the hooks at intervals of 6-months using the wear gauge described above. The gauge is suitable for all types of PANPULLER or e-PLUS PANPULLER. The wear gauge provides easy Go / No-Go assessment of when to replace the hook. Worn hooks have a tendency to slip off the clips, which can present a significant risk to operators.

Use Of Hand-Tools
PANDROL PR and e-CLIP & Re clip types Installation Instructions Instructions for Panpuller LP1180 and e-Plus Panpuller LP12717
Insert centre leg of clip into housing. Place pivoted hook over the inside of the front arch of clip with foot of Panpuller behind clip housing and ensure lip of the hook is under the front arch. Taking up a natural stance behind the Panpuller, with both hands on tee handle at top of Panpuller, pull strongly towards chest until refusal. The Panpuller automatically pulls clip to the correct position
Pull until refusal. Panpuller does not act as a stop due to shorter centre leg of clip.

Use Of Hand-Tools
PANDROL PR and e-CLIP & Re type clips Reverse the Panpuller.
Taking up a natural stance on the same side as for installation, place hook on the outside of the front arch of the clip, the foot of the Panpuller resting on the baseplate/housing just above the centre leg of clip (as illustrated). Standing behind Panpuller with both hands on the tee handle at the top of Panpuller, give a strong firm push away from your chest. If clips have been in situ for many years, it may be necessary to use a hammer to loosen them taking safety precautions. If the clips will not move then use the Rusty Clip Extractor can be used for PR clips.
NOTE. It is mandatory to wear eye protection when removing or fitting any clips where hammer assistance might be necessary.

Soft-faced hammers
Soft-faced hammers can be used to extract PR, ee-PLUS and Re type clips, provided the following has been agreed on each site. The use of hammers should only be attempted with the agreement of Network Rail, using suitably trained and supervised track teams. The risks of the inappropriate use of soft faced hammers fall into 2 categories. PR, e and e-PLUS & Re type clips can generally withstand the use of hammers so the risks are: 1. PR, e and e-PLUS & Re type clips MUST be caught at the point of extraction to prevent clips flying. See the boot of the operator in the photograph. 2. Poorly controlled hammers can injure personnel and damage other components
The photograph shows the typical use of a soft faced hammer to extract any of the following clip types: PR, e, Re, e-PLUS.
