When to choose it

Use the unweighted clip at the top and the weighted one at the bottom to keep a wet strip hanging straight. The pointed contact surfaces make the end of the strip the sensible place to clip.

The PTP218 set has one weighted and one unweighted clip. Check that the drying area can take the full length of the film with both clips attached.
