Carlon E978-CAR Snap-In PVC Conduit Support Strap, UV-Resistant Gray Finish

The Carlon E978-CAR Snap Strap is a professional-grade, non-metallic conduit support strap engineered from gray, high-strength, UV-inhibited PVC for both indoor and outdoor electrical installations. Because the material is UV-inhibited, this strap withstands direct sunlight exposure without degrading, making it well suited for exterior conduit runs. The E978-CAR is available in single-mount configurations for 1/2", 3/4", and 1" conduit, as well as double-mount configurations for 1-1/4", 1-1/2", and 2" conduit, giving electrical contractors flexibility across a wide range of raceway diameters. Each strap allows conduit to expand and contract freely along its run, eliminating bow and reducing mechanical stress at connection points and fittings. Sold in convenient 100-packs, the E978-CAR is well suited to commercial, industrial, and residential electrical crews that need reliable, code-appropriate conduit support in bulk quantities.

Carlon E978HC-CAR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Carlon Snap Strap conduit straps hold up outdoors in direct sunlight?
Yes. The Carlon Snap Strap is molded from UV-inhibited PVC specifically for direct sunlight exposure, so it works on exterior runs, rooftop and solar racking feeds, and utility work as well as indoors. It's non-metallic, so there's nothing to rust on a wet wall or a coastal site.
2) What size conduit do Carlon Snap Straps fit?
Six trade sizes, split by mount style: single mount in 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch and 1 inch, and double mount in 1-1/4 inch, 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch. Pick the strap that matches the trade size of the conduit, not the measured outside diameter, since PVC conduit is designated by trade size.
3) Do these straps clamp the conduit tight, or let it move?
They let it move. The Snap Strap is a high-strength non-metallic clamp that allows the conduit to expand and contract freely, which eliminates the bow you get when PVC is pinned hard at every support and then heats up in the sun. Seat the pipe in the strap and check it can still slide lengthwise before you move on.
4) What is the difference between single mount and double mount Snap Straps?
It's the number of fastening points. Single mount straps anchor through one hole and cover the smaller sizes, 1/2 inch through 1 inch. Double mount straps anchor on both sides of the conduit and cover 1-1/4 inch through 2 inch, where the pipe is heavier and a single screw would let it rock. You don't choose between them, the trade size you need decides it.
5) Are mounting screws included with Carlon Snap Straps?
No. The Snap Strap ships as the strap only, so you supply the fastener to suit the surface, masonry anchors into block or concrete, wood screws into framing or a fascia, self-drillers into steel. Order those separately with the straps.
6) What are the Carlon part numbers for each Snap Strap size?
Carlon numbers them E978DC for 1/2 inch, E978EC for 3/4 inch and E978FC for 1 inch on the single mount side, then E978GC for 1-1/4 inch, E978HC for 1-1/2 inch and E978JC for 2 inch on the double mount. The letter steps up with the trade size, which is handy when you're reading an old submittal and only have the number.
7) Can I use PVC snap straps to support EMT or rigid metal conduit?
The Carlon Snap Strap is sized and shaped for PVC conduit in matching trade sizes. Metal conduit runs to different outside diameters at the same trade size, so a snap-in PVC strap is not the right support for EMT or RMC, use a strap made for that raceway instead. Where the run is PVC, the snap strap is the quicker install since it clips on rather than needing a two-piece clamp.
