Technical Specifications

This heavy-gauge steel conduit clamp accommodates 1-1/4" trade size rigid and IMC conduit with precise dimensional tolerances. The steel construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining compact dimensions of 2.7" length, 2.66" width, and 1.35" height. At just 0.13 pounds, the clamp offers excellent portability without sacrificing holding power. The heavy-gauge steel material ensures consistent performance across temperature variations and provides excellent resistance to mechanical stress and environmental factors common in commercial installations.

Installation Process

1. Select appropriate mounting location ensuring proper conduit support spacing per NEC Article 344 requirements
2. Mark and prepare mounting surface, ensuring adequate clearance for conduit installation
3. Position clamp at marked location and secure to mounting surface using appropriate fasteners
4. Install 1-1/4" rigid or IMC conduit into clamp opening, ensuring proper seating
5. Tighten clamp mechanism to secure conduit without over-compression
6. Verify conduit is properly supported and aligned with adjacent conduit runs

Applications

Perfect for:

• Commercial Buildings - Office complexes, retail centers, hospitals, and educational facilities
• Industrial Facilities - Manufacturing plants, processing facilities, and heavy industrial installations
• Municipal Infrastructure - Government buildings, public utilities, and civic facilities
• Equipment Rooms - Electrical panels, switchgear areas, and motor control centers
• Mechanical Spaces - Utility rooms, basement installations, and service corridors
• Outdoor Installations - Building exteriors, parking structures, and weather-exposed conduit runs
• Heavy-Duty Applications - High-vibration environments and areas requiring maximum support strength
• Code-Critical Installations - Projects requiring strict adherence to NEC conduit support requirements

Rigid/IMC Conduit System Benefits

Rigid and IMC conduit systems provide superior mechanical protection and grounding continuity compared to flexible conduit alternatives. The heavy-gauge steel construction of this clamp complements the strength characteristics of rigid/IMC systems, creating a robust support network that maintains conduit alignment and prevents sagging over long runs. This combination is particularly valuable in commercial installations where conduit systems must support their own weight plus the weight of multiple conductors while maintaining proper spacing and accessibility for future maintenance.

Why Choose Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction?

Heavy-gauge steel construction represents the premium choice for conduit support applications where maximum strength and longevity are required. Unlike lighter-gauge alternatives, this heavy-gauge design resists deformation under load and maintains consistent clamping force over decades of service. The steel material provides excellent compatibility with rigid and IMC conduit materials, ensuring optimal grounding continuity and system integrity. For electrical contractors who demand reliable performance and professional results, this heavy-gauge steel clamp delivers the strength and durability that builds reputation and reduces callbacks.
