ABSTRACT:
A generally flat oblong clip pierced by a pair of countersunk oblong holes and a slot open to one of the longer edges. The slot and a terminating half-round hole are beveled and countersunk respectively from the opposite side of the clip. The junctures of the bevels and half-round countersink are specifically formed to provide a locking shoulder on each side of the half-round hole. Multiple clips are used to provide a blind fastening between a backsplash and countertop enabling the backsplash to be driven into permanent substantially watertight engagement with the countertop. The step by step installation of the clip assures that the backsplash also follows gentle curvatures in the building wall behind the backsplash. The clip slots are configured to tightly engage and latch mating screw heads as the backsplash is driven into position.
