Surface mounted pvc conduit nail clips

Baldyhugh
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

    We've gone over to entirely using black enamel steel saddles on black pvc conduit now as they're actually CHEAPER than the pvc ones from our local wholesaler. If we had to do white pvc, we'd probably get galv saddles and a can of white spray gloss :)


    And Andy, we do use crampets on pvc tube when we're chasing into walls... they hold better in ageing mortar than screw fixings. Indeed you can crush the tube if you're heavy handed, but they're quite handy
