This month, EC&M magazine spotlights fasteners and hangers from Cooper B-Line, Thomas & Betts, ERICO, and Platinum Tools

Seismic bracing attachment

The TOLCO Fig. 4LA seismic bracing attachment is available for piping sizes ranging from 1 in. to 12 in. Manufactured from
carbon steel, the UL-listed device is designed to brace piping against sway and seismic disturbances. The attachment is pre-assembled with the necessary pieces and components that do not require additional assembly, while the universal design allows the product to be used in longitudinal and lateral applications. Additionally, the unit offers visual verification of installation with three break-off head fasteners.

Cable hanger

The Kindorf Fast Cable Link is designed to suspend cable,
conduit, and ductwork from industrial ceilings. Consisting of a length of steel wire rope and a self-locking cable-grip fastener, the hanger requires no tools for installation. Additionally, the product comes with either a hook or loop end for beam attachment. Features include a release pin that eases adjustment after inserting the wire rope into the fastener and stainless steel springs that keep the locking roller in constant contact with the wire rope.
