Clip maker responds to wiring regulations’ amendment

1 min read

Following its amendment in July 2015, BS7671 – the IET Wiring Regulations – require cabling to be supported by fire-resistant fasteners and fixings. Responding to this requirement, Partex UK has launched a range of galvanised steel mini-trunking cable retaining clips, stainless steel cable tie mounts, and spacer-bar saddles.

Partex galvanised steel mini-trunking clips have an M6 fixing hole and side tabs that can be easily bent over, without the aid of a tool, to retain the cables securely. Supplied in packs of 50, the MTCC-T2/6 version is designed for use with T2 mini-trunking. The MTCC-T3/6 version is suitable for use with both T3 and T4 mini-trunking.

Partex SSTM cable tie mounts are manufactured from high-quality corrosion-resistant 316-grade stainless steel. Supplied in packs of 50, they are available with either M4 or M6 fixing holes and provide a versatile and cost-effective fixing solution when used in conjunction with Partex stainless cable ties.

Completing the new Partex family of fire-resistant fixings are white polyester powder coated, galvanized steel spacer bar saddles. Supplied in packs of 10, the SBSW20 is designed for use with 20 mm conduit, while the SBSW25 is for use with 25 mm conduit. The durable white finish matches standard white PVC-U conduit, making them much more attractive in many installations. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

All of these products provide a simple yet effective solution for upgrading existing and new installations to meet the new requirements of the IET Wiring Regulations
