Surface mounted pvc conduit nail clips

Hi all

A lot of my work involves surface mounted pvc conduit and in particular fixing to wooden roof beams in agricultural buildings for high level lights. I have normally used the plastic cable nail clips for this as they easily and quickly fix to the wood. I would use spacer bar saddles for fixing to a masonry wall. However, as the clips are specifically called cable clips, should they only be used for cable, not conduit? I have to say that they work very well for conduit and especially when fixing to a wooden surface

Hi ebee

yes I would also use saddles on masonry but quite often I would have very long straight runs for pvc conduit to surface mounting wooden roof timbers in farm buildings at high level for lighting circuits. The 22-26 cable clips are ideal for this as they are a good fit and are faster to fix than spacer bar saddles. What are your thoughts on using cable clips to surface fix pvc conduit setting aside the fire regulations as my example of a farm shed wouldn’t constitute an escape route?
