During the installation of electrical wires for the direct fastening of individually taken or twisted into a bundle of cables using dowel clamps.
This type of wire holder is practical, convenient and easy to install. Do not lose sight of the fact that the cable fasteners should in no case cause mechanical damage to the material being laid. There should also be no excesses and plastic changes. The scope and general purpose of such fixing material, as well as its positive and negative qualities, should be described.
Cable tie for cable fixing
Reliable and simple mounting that does not require special installation skills. During installation, dowel clamps do not require the use of additional supporting fasteners (nails, screws, self-tapping screws, etc.), as well as the use of special tools.
It is enough just to drill a hole of 6 mm (if the dowel-clamps have Ο 5 mm), insert the wire that you are mounting into the fastening loop and insert it into the prepared hole. This type of fastening is successfully used both inside and outside buildings or premises. Indispensable for fixing the cable to a wall made of concrete or brick. The dowel-clamp 5-10 mm is intended for fastening the electric wire. It has resistance to aging and external factors of aggressive environment. The material from which the dowel clamps are made is nylon. This kind of syntactic polyamide is durable. It also withstands loads of temperature extremes from -40 to +85 degrees C.
Dowel clamps: advantages
To list all the advantages of this mount, a page is not enough. Consider some of them:
- Saving and rationality. Instead of the whole fixing kit (clamp / dowel and screw) there is only one element for securing the cable.
- Reduced physical costs during installation by 80%, since the installation is carried out with one hand (simple and reliable).
- The material from which dowel clamps, polyamide, synthetic origin are made. It contributes to the fact that installation can be carried out during any time period, even in winter with severe frosts.
- It withstands temperature load from -40 to +85 degrees C.
- It has a high degree of bearing capacity, a reliable and durable type of fastening.
- Dowel clamps are made from a material that is resistant to ultraviolet radiation. Because of these qualities, it is widely used for external wire fasteners.
- It is fire resistant. Since nylon does not contain halogen, it increases safety in case of fire.
- This type of fastening is used when carrying out the line without laying the wire in the box.
- Belongs to the most inexpensive and fastest type of mount. It is used when wiring electric wires in an open way. In cases where cable damage occurs, the damaged area is quickly and easily replaced.
Mounting Disadvantages
The disadvantage of this type of fastening is that it is practically not used when laying wires in the apartment. The main scope of dowel clamps is electrical wiring in industrial premises.
