Wiki: Cable clip
Input welcome
NT Cable clip [[image:Cable clips 0963-2.jpg|300px]] Cable clips for mains wiring must be insulated. All-metal clips are no longer regs compliant. [[Cable]] clip [[nail]]s are hardened, and usually go into masonry ok. If getting them in proves impossible, pin plugs may be used. These are small non-hollow [[wallplug]]s designed for pins. Or any type of resin [[glue]] can go into the masonry holes instead. Orange clips are used for [[fire]] alarm cable. Maximum permitted distance between clips is: * vertical [[cable]] run: * horizontal cable run: mortar v brick ==Other types== ;P clip :metal strap that wraps round the cable, sleeved with plastic, hole at each end of strap for a single fixing. Mainly used with pyro. Much more fire resistant than plastic clips. ;Buckle clip :thin metal strap with a slot in a wider bit at one end, and a nail through the middle. Seldom used now. ;? name, 2 nail clip :same as the standard plastic cable clip, but one nail on each side of the cable. ==See also== *[[Cable]] *[[:Category:Fixings]] [[Category:Basics]] [[Category:Electrical]] [[Category:Fixings]] ? fire, tv |
