Technical Specifications

This RAC series right angle conduit clamp accommodates 1" trade size rigid and IMC conduit with iron construction and hot dip galvanized finish for maximum corrosion resistance. The clamp measures 3.06 inches in length, 2.56 inches in width, and 1 inch in height, weighing 0.42 pounds for easy handling during installation. Designed for ordinary/non-hazardous locations and compliant with NEC/CEC standards, this clamp provides reliable conduit support in commercial and industrial electrical systems where right angle mounting is required.

Installation Process

1. Select appropriate mounting surface and verify structural support capacity for conduit load
2. Position the right angle clamp at desired location, ensuring proper conduit routing alignment
3. Mark mounting hole locations using the clamp as a template for accurate placement
4. Drill pilot holes appropriate for mounting surface material and fastener type
5. Secure clamp base to mounting surface using appropriate fasteners for the application
6. Insert conduit into clamp opening and tighten clamping mechanism to secure conduit without over-tightening
7. Verify conduit is properly supported and aligned before proceeding with electrical installation

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities requiring clean conduit routing
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and warehouses with space constraints
• Outdoor Installations - Weather-exposed conduit runs requiring corrosion-resistant mounting solutions
• Equipment Connections - Motor control centers, switchgear, and electrical panels with limited clearance
• Structural Mounting - Beam, wall, and ceiling installations where right angle support is needed
• Maintenance Access Areas - Locations where conduit must be routed around obstacles or equipment
• Architectural Applications - Visible installations requiring professional appearance and clean lines
• Retrofit Projects - Existing buildings where space limitations require creative conduit routing solutions

Right Angle Clamp System Benefits

Right angle conduit clamps provide essential mounting solutions where traditional straight clamps cannot accommodate space constraints or structural obstacles. The perpendicular mounting configuration allows conduit to be securely supported while changing direction, maintaining proper support spacing per NEC/CEC requirements. This design is particularly valuable in retrofit applications where existing building elements limit conduit routing options, enabling professional installations that meet code requirements while optimizing available space.

Why Choose Hot Dip Galvanized Iron Construction?

The combination of iron construction with hot dip galvanized finish provides superior performance compared to standard steel clamps. Iron offers excellent strength and durability, while the hot dip galvanizing process creates a metallurgically bonded zinc coating that provides long-term corrosion protection. This finish is particularly important for outdoor installations, wet locations, and industrial environments where moisture and chemical exposure can compromise lesser finishes. The result is a professional-grade clamp that delivers decades of reliable service with minimal maintenance requirements.
