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

    its a shame that there isn’t a nail clip available similar to the one I posted a picture of where there is a metal part that goes round the conduit like the plastic part does. It could be part of the nail and embedded in the plastic of the clip so that if the plastic melted during a fire the metal part would remain to support the cables
