KYA 64A18S clinching clips are strip-collated metal fasteners for compatible bedding, furniture, automotive seating and formed-wire clinching applications. The 64A18S reference belongs to an established Vertex clip size class and is also associated with the CL-15 cross-reference.
KYA publishes overall dimensions of approximately 16.26 mm length × 10.92 mm width × 10.32 mm overall height. The corresponding Vertex designation is nominally described as .64" length × 7/16" width × .18" opening. Measurement terminology can differ between overall clip height and inside opening, so buyers should compare the complete clip drawing or physical sample when changing suppliers.
The current packing specification is 10,340 clips per carton, with 80 cartons per skid for a total of 827,200 clips per skid.
Established 64A18S size class: commonly specified for strip-fed clinching applications.
CL-15 cross-reference: useful when identifying replacement requirements for compatible Hartco-style clip systems.
Strip-collated format: designed for compatible pneumatic clinching tools and production equipment.
Compact A-profile: approximately 16.26 mm long and 10.92 mm wide in the KYA published dimensional table.
Galvanized configuration: suitable for appropriate indoor furniture, bedding and seating production environments.
10,340 clips per carton: established packaging for the 64A18S strip clip.
80 cartons per skid: equivalent to 827,200 clips per skid.
Multiple applications: bedding, upholstered furniture, automotive seating and selected cage or wire assemblies.

The 64A18S designation has an established cross-reference to the CL-15 strip clip class. This provides a useful starting point for buyers replacing existing clinching clips in furniture, bedding or seating production.
| Reference | Typical Identification |
|---|---|
| 64A18S | Vertex-style strip clip designation |
| CL-15 | Hartco-style strip clip cross-reference |
| KYA-64A18S | KYA product code |
Cross-reference numbers identify related clip classes, but a production change should still be checked against the actual fastener dimensions, strip collation and clinching-tool setup.
Two dimensional conventions may be encountered when sourcing 64A18S clips. KYA publishes overall metric dimensions, while the Vertex-style model designation uses nominal length, width and opening.
| Measurement | Published KYA Value | Nominal Vertex-Style Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 16.26 mm / 0.640" | .64" |
| Width | 10.92 mm / 0.430" | 7/16" |
| Overall Height | 10.32 mm / approximately 13/32" | Not the same measurement as the nominal opening |
| Nominal Opening | Confirm from drawing or sample | .18" |
When comparing suppliers, avoid treating overall clip height and inside opening as the same measurement. A drawing or physical sample is the most reliable reference when dimensional tolerance is important.
64A18S is supplied as a strip-collated fastener for compatible strip-feed clinching equipment. Strip collation keeps the clips aligned as they advance through the tool magazine toward the driver and anvil.
Correct feeding depends on the clip profile, collation, magazine, pusher, driver blade and tool condition. A matching model number is important, but the complete feed system should also be checked before a production change.
For the Vertex system, 64A18S is associated with the ProClinch PC4-1020 strip-tool configuration. The tool uses a specific anvil, blade, guide and magazine arrangement for this fastener class.
If an existing production line uses Vertex, Hartco, KYA, ISM or another clip tool, provide the complete tool model and current fastener when requesting a replacement. Different internal configurations can accept different clip profiles.
64A18S belongs to a clinching-clip family used in bedding production for compatible spring-wire, support-wire and frame-wire connections.
Mattress designs differ in spring type, wire diameter and perimeter construction. Select the clip according to the actual joint and clinching-tool setup rather than assuming one 64A18S configuration is appropriate for every pocket, Bonnell or continuous-spring unit.
A documented application for this clip family is attaching paper-wrapped wire or support wire to sofa, chair and other furniture seat springs.
The wire is positioned at the required spring location, the open clip is placed over the joint, and a compatible clip tool forms the fastener around the components.
The ProClinch clip platform is also used in automotive and van seating applications where wire, spring or support-frame components require a mechanically clinched joint.
Automotive production generally follows component-specific drawings and approved tooling. Verify the fastener, material and finished joint against the required assembly specification before production use.
Clinching clips in this platform are also used in selected animal-trap and cage assemblies. The fastener must be matched to the wire diameters, joint geometry and production tool.
For exposed outdoor wire products, dimensional fit and corrosion resistance should be evaluated separately. Confirm the required clip material or surface treatment for the intended environment.
Clip selection should not be based only on a statement such as “4–5 mm border wire.” A clinched joint can contain more than one wire, and the required open clip geometry depends on both the components being joined and the closed shape produced by the tool.
For a new application, provide all wire diameters, the existing clip or drawing, and the clinching-tool model.

Discuss Your 64A18S Application
64A18S is an established strip-collated clinching-clip size used in compatible bedding, furniture, automotive seating and formed-wire applications.
KYA publishes approximately 16.26 mm length, 10.92 mm width and 10.32 mm overall height. The nominal 64A18S designation is also commonly described as .64" length × 7/16" width × .18" opening.
No. Overall clip height and inside opening are different measurements. Compare the supplier drawing or physical fastener when dimensional compatibility is critical.
The established Hartco-style cross-reference is CL-15.
Vertex lists 64A18S with the PC4-1020 strip-tool configuration. The corresponding internal anvil, blade, guide and magazine setup must also match.
No. Vertex uses different ProClinch configurations for different clip sizes. Confirm the exact tool and internal setup before changing fasteners.
64A18S and CL-15 are established cross-reference classes. For production replacement, verify the actual clip, collation and clinching-tool configuration before volume use.
The established packing is 10,340 clips per carton.
The listed skid configuration is 80 cartons.
At 10,340 clips per carton and 80 cartons per skid, the total is 827,200 clips per skid.
Yes. Bedding is an established application for the ProClinch clip platform. Suitability depends on the specific spring and wire connection.
Yes. Furniture spring and paper-wrapped support-wire connections are established applications for this clip class.
Yes, in compatible automotive and van seating wire assemblies where the clip and tooling meet the required production specification.
The ProClinch platform is used for selected animal-trap and cage applications. Confirm wire dimensions, clip closure and required corrosion resistance before selection.
Not exclusively. It is better treated as a strip clinching clip for compatible bedding, furniture, seating and wire assemblies. The actual mattress construction determines whether it is appropriate.
Do not select the clip from one border-wire diameter alone. The full wire combination, clip opening, finished closure and clinching-tool setup should be considered together.
Alternative corrosion-resistant clip materials may be available depending on the required specification. Confirm the exact alloy, dimensions and order configuration before purchasing.
No fastener can guarantee uninterrupted operation under every condition. Clip collation, tool condition, magazine setup, air supply, driver and anvil condition all affect feeding and clinching performance.
Yes. Check strip feeding, clip position, finished closure and joint retention on the actual production tool before full-volume use.
Provide the required quantity, current clip reference or sample, clinching-tool brand and model, wire dimensions, application, material or surface requirement and destination market.
KYA supplies 64A18S strip-collated clinching clips for bedding manufacturers, upholstered-furniture factories, seating suppliers, wire-product manufacturers and industrial fastener distributors. Send your current clip reference, tool model, wire dimensions, required finish and quantity to confirm the appropriate configuration.
