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.
