Nathand Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 what is everyone using for fastening cables up with to meet with the new 18th edition changes? I've just quoted a job that has to be mostly surface trunked, so steel cable ties are out. I have just found some clips that go in the trunking, D line clips they're called. Has anyone used these before, and how much of a faff are they? Quote

No know jack about them , everyone here has used them plenty But fastening cables depends on where and how , I still see steel cables above voids , metal trunking in communial walk ways or plastic with d clips or other fixings Quote
james.wilson Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Agreed on the d line. Also use a spit nailer for speed with pirelli clips Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
Nathand Posted April 18, 2019 Author Posted April 18, 2019 I like the idea of the nailer, think that's going to have to be a definite investment. I take it it can be used to fire nails in for the D clips as well, the pirelli's look good for fire cable, I'm thinking more along the lines of fixing alarm/Beldon/data cable. Quote
james.wilson Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Yes but becareful of the predrilled hole size of the dclip. Also can use plclips without predrilled holes when hidden. I was also meaning for other cable types Most of the clips are plastic however I think the 800 replaced the above Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Pulled it out to use on a job and the batteries have leaked that's just my luck. I know that you can purchase replacement ones from flee bay has anyone ever brought any of these? Regards TS Quote
