Product Training: Conlok Systems

Ep.6 – Weekly product training, this week we cover the Conlok systems with Dan Shorto.

A conduit is a tube in which electrical wires run for a variety of building or structural applications. Conduit protects wires and any individuals who may come into close proximity to the wires. There are two different conduit systems available, the Conlok and the standard threaded conduit system. Today we go over the benefits of the ConLok system, and why it is a much better system than the traditional threaded conduit.

The ConLok range is made from malleable iron and is HDG-coated. This differs from the traditional conduit as it has a thread cut through the HDG coating. This results in unprotected steel which is vulnerable to corrosion. It is the only system on the market that has an unbroken HDG finish, therefore it is a great choice for outdoor use or environments with exposure to chemicals.

Product Training: Sprung Steel Purlin Clips

Ep.1 – Weekly product training, this week with Stuart Wilson.

Sprung Steel Purlin clips are to help suspend various containments from purlins, they come with an array of attachments. They are made from sprung steel which means they are highly resilient and can return to their original shape after being bent or stretched. They are designed to take a static load and not a dynamic load which means that once you have put your containment in place as long as that is staying still the clip will not fail.

Option 1: Horizontal flange clip

Designed to knock onto a horizontal purlin (as pictured in the video). Our size ranges cover 2-4mm, 5-9mm, 10-16mm, 17-20mm, and 23-30mm. The smallest size (2-4mm) will take a 72KG workload, whereas the bigger sizes will take 90 kg. They have a 6.5mm fixing hole which you can suspend wire or chain, or you could attach another angle fitting using an M6 Nut and Bolt.

Option 2: Horizontal flange clip rod hanger

There are different sizes which will take M6, M8 and M10 Threaded rods. They can be installed exactly the same as option 1, by knocking them onto the horizontal purlin, you can then put in your drop rod and create a trapeze from this using channel, or attach another piece of bracketry that could run conduit, basket or cable tray on.

Option 3: Vertical rod hanger

This one is to go on a vertical purlin, you can get them with different attachments. They are also available for M6, M8 and M10 Threaded rods. The safe working load on this clip is 72KG

Option 4: Return flange rod hangers

This bracket hooks onto a purlin with a return flange, this has a much lower safe working load of 20KG as the return flange is the weakest point to attach to, but they are suitable for something lightweight like PVC conduit.

Option 5: Angled profile rod hanger

The same principle as the above option 4, but they can suspend from a 45° purlin. They have a safe working load of 45KG

Option 6: Z purlin angled rod hanger

This one is also suitable for a 45° purlin, but it will slot on. The rod hanger attachment is on a swivel so you can get it at the correct angle.

Overall as you can see, Sprung Steel Purlin clips have many benefits and can be used in many different applications. As always we want to make sure we are making it easy for you to get things right, so if there is any more information you require then please reach out to us today, we’re here for the hard-working independent contractor, giving the certainty of next-day supply, and keeping your projects on the move.
