For fast, hassle-free fixing within stud walls, try the Britclips® RSWB


There is no need to struggle with traditional methods of fixing within stud walls, the Rapid Sliding Wall Bracket is an extendable bracket for fast mounting of electrical boxes, conduit and more.


B


ritclips® is a market-leading range of electrical fixings that have been manufactured in the UK for over 35


years and are part of the Walraven product portfolio. The latest addition to the range is the Rapid


Sliding Wall Bracket (RSWB), which was developed to provide installers with an effective and easy solution for mounting electrical fixings within stud walls. Traditional methods of using wooden


noggins, or pieces of rail, can be time- consuming, unreliable and inflexible. By the time wood or rail has been measured and cut to the right length, then secured to the studs, the job could have been done several times over with an RSWB.


Features and benefits of the Britclips® RSWB ●Extendable bracket for faster mounting of electrical boxes and conduit in stud walls.


●Can be fixed to metal or timber studs. ●Expands from 16 to 24 inches (40 – 60cm) to fit non-standard stud spacing.


●Suitable for mounting multiple boxes and conduits within stud wall divides.


●Quicker and easier to install than traditional methods.


●Can be positioned at multiple distances from the edge of the baton (including over the edge) depending on what is being fixed and how far back within the wall it needs to be. Special markers allow for easy positioning.


●A lightweight product made from high quality galvanised steel. To make the job even easier still, the RSWB can be used with Walraven’s range of fast-fit fixings such as BIS starQuick® or BISMAT Flash® clamps, which are ideal for attaching the conduit to the bracket. The RSWB is not only suitable for use within stud


walls, it can be used where fixing is required between any two points such as wooden beams or floor joists. It is also perfect for plumbers to use when fixing pipework in place.


What do installers think about the RSWB? A customer who regularly uses this product commented how beneficial the RSWB has become to his installations. Jordan Nabhan is a Project Manager at Lincliff-Task. Based in the Midlands, Lincliff-Task are specialists in electrical and mechanical design and build. Jordan explained: “The Walraven RSWB has


quickly become an essential part of our electrical 1st fix process. The adjustable nature of the arms not only allows it to be used in any partitioning system, but also allows us to position accessories in their final location at 1st fix stage. The huge benefit of this is that it removes the need to return at a later date to install accessories often under difficult


circumstances, such as through


plasterboard or insulation.”


Since its launch in 2015, the RSWB has become a very popular product. Tracey


Williams, General Manager of Walraven UK commented: “This


product has a huge benefit to installers, saving them time and hassle. It


has grown in popularity over the last year and at a trade show we exhibited at recently, we were surprised to speak to so many electrical installers who felt this


offered a real and viable alternative to traditional methods, but were unaware that such a product existed. This product could be the next big thing in electrical installations!”


3. Use the markers to position the bracket at the required distance from the edge of the baton, bending the ends to fix over the edge if required.


Install in three easy steps


1. Supplied in connected pairs, simply snap the brackets apart.


2. The brackets can be extended to fit between studs that are 16 to 24 inches (40 - 60cm) apart.
