Kentucky Mop Fitting – Plastic Mop Clip
Keep a traditional mopping setup in service with this plastic Kentucky Mop Fitting. The clip holds a Kentucky-style mop head and connects it to a suitable handle, providing a replacement component when an existing holder is worn or a new mop needs to be assembled.
Product code 100988 matches Robert Scott's plastic Kentucky mop holder. Its lightweight construction makes it a practical part to keep with your floor-cleaning spares, helping janitorial teams maintain equipment used in offices, schools, hospitality premises and other commercial buildings.
The fitting allows the mop head to be changed separately from the handle. Check the condition of the clip, its closure and the handle connection before each cleaning round so the assembled mop holds together during use. Replace damaged parts promptly instead of continuing with a loose head.
Complete the setup with a suitable Kentucky mop head and compatible handle, then use an appropriate Kentucky mop bucket and wringer for the cleaning task. This listing supplies the fitting only; check the connection and equipment fit when choosing the other components.

Directions for Use
Check the components
Choose a suitable Kentucky mop head and a handle that matches the fitting's connection. Inspect the clip, closure and handle end for cracks, wear or damage. Do not assume that a socket mop head or a different handle system will fit.
Secure the mop head
Open the holder using its normal fastening, position the Kentucky head's centre band evenly and close the clip securely. Keep loose fibres clear of the closure and check that the head cannot slide out before attaching or using the handle.
Attach and check the handle
Connect the matching handle and tighten the screw collar securely without forcing mismatched parts together. Check the completed assembly before mopping or wringing. Stop and refit the components if the head or handle moves unexpectedly.
Clean and inspect after use
Rinse away residues and remove fibres from the fastening area. Let the fitting dry before storage and inspect it regularly for damage. Replace the clip if wear or a damaged closure prevents it from holding the head securely.

FAQs
What does a Kentucky mop fitting do?
It holds the centre of a Kentucky-style mop head and connects it to a suitable handle. The fitting is one component of the mopping system, allowing the head and handle to be maintained or replaced separately.
Are the mop head and handle included?
No. This listing is for the plastic fitting only. Select a suitable Kentucky mop head and compatible handle separately, then check that the assembled mop fits the bucket and wringer you plan to use.
Will the clip fit every mop handle?
Universal compatibility should not be assumed. Compare the handle end with the fitting's screw-collar connection before ordering or assembling it. Ask Astral Hygiene for help if you cannot identify the connection on your existing handle.
Can I use it with a socket mop head?
This holder is intended for Kentucky-style heads with a centre band that can be secured by the clip. Socket mop heads have a different attachment arrangement, so choose the fitting intended for that particular head.
How large is the plastic fitting?
Robert Scott lists product 100988 at 18 x 14cm with a weight of 72g. These measurements describe the fitting itself; they do not establish the size of handle or mop head needed for your complete setup.
When should I replace the mop clip?
Replace it if cracks, worn fastening points or a damaged closure stop it holding the mop head firmly. Inspect the handle connection too, and check the complete assembly before putting a repaired mop back into service.
