Careful guys, those plastic clips are there to prevent the inevitable
corrosion that will occur when dissimilar metals are in contact in the
presence of moisture (steel+copper+humidity).  Best to wrap the lines
with protective tape under the clips, or devise some other unobtrusive
way to keep the two separated. A pinhole caused by corrosion under those
clips could be disastrous.
