nVent CADDY AF14 Armour AF Series Spring Steel Z Purlin Clip

The nVent CADDY AF14 Armour AF Series Spring Steel Z Purlin Clip is a purpose-built purlin clip from the Caddy Armour product line, formerly marketed under the Erico brand name. Constructed from spring steel, this Z purlin clip is engineered to attach directly to steel Z-purlins, providing a secure mounting point for conduit, cable, and pipe supports without drilling into structural steel. The spring-steel design delivers strong clamping force and a fast, tool-minimal installation on metal building framing. As part of the AF Series, the AF14 clip is built for demanding commercial and industrial structural steel applications where a reliable, drill-free attachment point is required.

nVent CADDY AF14 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to drill or weld into the purlin to mount conduit with the nVent CADDY AF14?
No drilling, no welding. The AF14 Z purlin clip clips directly onto the flange of a steel Z-purlin and holds there by spring tension, so the structural member stays untouched. That gives you a mounting point for conduit, cable or pipe supports without putting a hole in the steel, which is usually what the structural engineer wants to hear on a pre-engineered metal building.
2) Is the AF14 purlin clip meant for Z-purlins or will it work on a C-purlin or bar joist?
The AF14 is a Z purlin clip, built specifically for the flange of a steel Z-purlin. If your framing is C-channel purlin, bar joist, or a wide flange beam, that is a different attachment and the AF14 is not the right part for it. Confirm the purlin profile on the drawings before you order a case.
3) How many nVent CADDY AF14 clips come in a box?
The AF14 ships 100 clips per pack, so it's priced and stocked as a contractor case rather than a single piece. For a conduit run on purlin spacing, that is typically enough for a full bay or two of hangers in one order.
4) Is the Caddy AF14 the same thing as the old Erico AF14 purlin clip?
Same part, same line. The Caddy Armour AF Series was previously sold under the Erico brand name and is now branded nVent CADDY. If your spec or an older submittal calls out an Erico AF14, the nVent CADDY AF14 is what fills it.
5) What is the AF14 clip made of, and will it hold up in an industrial building?
Spring steel. That is what gives the clip its clamping force on the purlin flange and lets it snap on and stay put without fasteners. nVent CADDY builds the Armour AF Series this way for commercial and industrial structural steel work, which is the AF14's intended environment.
6) What part number do I put on a submittal for the Caddy Z purlin clip?
Specify nVent CADDY AF14. That is the manufacturer part number as well as the model designation within the Armour AF Series, so one number covers both the spec sheet and the purchase order.
7) Can I hang pipe and cable off the AF14, or is it conduit only?
Conduit is the common use, but the AF14 is a general attachment point: it is used to mount conduit, cable, and pipe hanger supports to Z-purlins in metal building and pre-engineered structural systems. What it carries depends on the hanger or strap you attach to it, so size that component to your load.
