Cable management specialist, HellermannTyton, has launched a metal nail fixing solution that provides a quick and efficient means of securing cables, while ensuring full compliance with the BS7671 wiring regulations
the market. Using patented
F
ollowing the introduction of the updated regulations in July 2015,
which stipulate the use of metal clips within the escape routes of buildings, there has been an increased demand for metal fixings. Accordingly, the metal nail clip from cable management specialist HellermannTyton ensures compliance and maximum safety as the cabling will remain securely fastened in the event of a fire, thanks to its flex design. Up until recently, plastic nail systems were commonly used to perform this role, yet these have a tendency to disintegrate when exposed to extreme temperatures, making them a potential safety hazard. HellermannTyton worked in close collaboration with a number of industry clients to develop a solution that fully meets the needs of
HellermannTyton technology, the metal cable clips come in a range of sizes, colours, and coatings to suit the varied demands of commercial and non- commercial buildings. Furthermore, they are available in different sizes, meaning they can accommodate a number of wire sizes. The integrated nail and clip design simplifies the installation process, requiring only a hammer, meaning installers can mount multiple cables quickly and efficiently
with minimal fuss and cost. Richard Rands, product manager at
HellermannTyton, explains: “Our on- going challenge is to deliver solutions which help our customers to carry out their jobs quickly, safely and efficiently. The introduction of the new wiring regulations has implications for our customers and the industry and here we have demonstrated our responsiveness to an important industry development to best support our growing customer base. Drawing on our industry-leading manufacturing and design capability, we have provided a solution that satisfies the requirements of the new legislation. The wider benefits through enhanced efficiency are also there for all to see.”
