Cable management specialist, HellermannTyton, has launched a metal nail fixing solution as a quick and efficient means of securing cables, while ensuring full compliance with the BS7671 wiring regulations.
With updated regulations in July 2015 stipulating the use of metal clips within the escape routes of buildings, there has been an increased demand for metal fixings. The new metal nail clip from HellermannTyton ensures compliance and maximum safety as the cabling will remain securely fastened in a fire thanks to its unique flex design.
Using patented HellermannTyton technology, the metal cable clips come in a range of sizes, colours, and coatings. The variety in size means that 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, explains: “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. We have provided a solution which satisfies the requirements of the new legislation. The wider commercial benefits through enhanced efficiency are also there for all to see.”
