A clip for orderly arrangement and identification of flexible lines such as hospital intravenous tubing has a pocket for grasping the tubing and interengaging protrusions and engagement holes whereby the clip can be chained in a line with other similar clips. The clip has a pair of arms attached at one end to a base, free ends of the arms being attachable to the base of another clip. The base has engagement holes for receiving snap-in protrusions on the free ends of the arms, the arms being spaced and the protrusions preferably protruding outwardly for insertion into engagement holes on the inside of a cavity in the base after compressing the arms together with finger pressure. Tubing or wiring which is grasped by the clips is thus maintained in neat and orderly spaced relation. The clips can be coded by color, shape or the like and are preferably placed at spaced positions along the tubes for identifying a specific tube without tracing it back to its source or destination.
