KYA M65 clinching clips are galvanized steel strip fasteners designed for compatible pneumatic clinching tools used in furniture springs, automotive seating, mattress assemblies and other wire-to-wire or wire-to-spring connections.
The M65 family includes CL-73, CL-73B, CLP-74, CL-23 and CL-24. These models use an approximately 0.80 mm material thickness and a nominal 5.0 mm inside width, while crown width and open height vary by model.
CL-73 and CLP-74 are dimensionally related to established Vertex F-series clinching clips such as 80F18 and 90F18S. Cross-reference numbers are useful for product identification, but the exact fastener and tool configuration should be checked before changing suppliers.
Five M65 clip sizes: CL-73, CL-73B, CLP-74, CL-23 and CL-24 for different wire combinations and clinching geometries.
17.5–21.8 mm crown range: multiple clip widths for furniture, seating and wire-assembly applications.
5.0 mm nominal inside width: common internal opening across the listed KYA M65 models.
12.5–16.0 mm open height: different heights provide different forming ranges around the wire connection.
0.80 mm galvanized steel: strip clip construction for compatible pneumatic clinching tools.
Strip-fed collation: designed for tools using the matching clip magazine, driver and anvil configuration.
6,030 clips per carton: current packing listed for all five M65 models on this product page.
Multiple applications: furniture springs, car-seat wire frames, mattress components and selected cage or wire-mesh assemblies.

KYA CL-73 uses an approximately 18.5 mm crown, 5.0 mm inside width and 13.0 mm open height. Vertex 80F18-series clips use a nominal 3/4-inch width and .18-inch opening, placing the two products in a closely related dimensional class.
| Dimension | KYA CL-73 | Vertex 80F18 Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Width / Crown | 18.5 mm | Approximately 18.67 mm |
| Inside Opening | 5.0 mm | Approximately 4.8–5.0 mm depending on version |
| Open Height | 13.0 mm | Approximately 13.5 mm |
These dimensional similarities make 80F18 a useful cross-reference when identifying CL-73. Before cross-brand substitution, compare the complete clip profile, strip collation and tool configuration.
CLP-74 is the closest M65 model on this page to the Vertex 90F18S dimensional class.
| Dimension | KYA CLP-74 | Vertex 90F18S |
|---|---|---|
| Width / Crown | 18.5 mm | Approximately 18.67 mm |
| Inside Opening | 5.0 mm | Approximately 5.13 mm |
| Open Height | 16.0 mm | Approximately 15.88 mm |
The published dimensions are closely aligned, but actual compatibility still depends on the tool magazine, blade, anvil, strip geometry and finished clinch requirement.
The listed M65 clips use approximately 0.80 mm galvanized steel. The galvanized surface provides corrosion protection compared with untreated steel during storage, production and appropriate indoor service.
Finished joint performance depends on the selected clip size, wire dimensions, material, tool adjustment and the closing geometry produced by the blade and anvil.
M65 clinching clips are suited to compatible wire and spring connections in furniture, seating and mattress manufacturing. The correct model depends on the wire combination and production tool.
One established use of Hartco-style clinching clips is attaching paper-wrapped wire or support wire to sofa, chair and upholstered-furniture springs.
The open clip is positioned around the selected wires and formed closed with a compatible clinching tool. The finished joint should be checked for correct position and closure before volume production.
M65-style clips can be used in compatible automotive seating and formed-wire assemblies where spring wire, support wire or frame wire requires a mechanically clinched connection.
Automotive production normally follows application-specific component drawings and approved tooling. Verify the selected clip dimensions and finished closure against the actual assembly requirement.
M65 clips can also be used in compatible mattress and spring-unit assemblies where spring wire, stay wire, support wire or border-wire components require clinching.
Mattress constructions use different wire diameters and clip sizes. Select the M65 model according to the actual components and tool rather than assuming one clip size fits every mattress design.
Selected M65 clip sizes can be used in compatible wire-cage and mesh fabrication where adjacent wire components fall within the clip opening and can be formed correctly by the clinching tool.
Wire diameter, coating and finished joint requirements should be checked before using a furniture-style clinching clip in a different wire-product application.
M65 clips should be matched to a clinching tool by the full fastener geometry rather than by brand name alone. Different clinchers can use different magazines, driver blades and anvils even when their fasteners have similar widths.
| Compatibility Item | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Clip Model | CL-73, CL-73B, CLP-74, CL-23 or CL-24. |
| Crown Width | 17.5, 18.5 or 21.8 mm depending on model. |
| Inside Width | Approximately 5.0 mm. |
| Open Height | Approximately 12.5–16.0 mm depending on model. |
| Material Thickness | Approximately 0.80 mm. |
| Magazine | Must accept the selected clip width and strip collation. |
| Driver Blade | Must engage and advance the selected clip correctly. |
| Anvil / Jaw | Must produce the required closed clip profile around the actual wire combination. |
When replacing an existing Hartco-style, Vertex, ISM, Bostitch or other clinching clip, provide the exact tool model and existing fastener reference.
A similar crown and inside opening are useful starting points, but they do not by themselves prove interchangeability. Strip pitch, clip profile, driver geometry and anvil shape should also be checked.
The open clip is positioned around the spring wire, support wire or other components to be joined. A compatible clinching tool drives the clip against the anvil, bending the two sides around the connection.
The finished clip should be centered on the joint and closed consistently around the selected wires. Tool setup should be checked whenever the clip size, wire diameter or supplier changes.
| Selection Factor | What to Consider |
|---|---|
| Current Clip | Match the existing model or measure the current fastener. |
| Crown Width | Select 17.5, 18.5 or 21.8 mm according to the tool and joint. |
| Inside Opening | The listed M65 models use approximately 5.0 mm. |
| Wire Combination | Measure both components being joined before selecting the clip. |
| Open Height | Choose the height required to form correctly around the joint. |
| Clinching Tool | Confirm the magazine, blade and anvil configuration. |
Custom clip sizes and coating requirements can be discussed for production programs. The current product information lists custom length and coating options, including hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel configurations.
For custom requirements, provide a drawing or physical sample together with the tool model, wire dimensions and required quantity.
