Thomas & Betts 1278 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conduit sizes does the Thomas & Betts malleable iron pipe strap come in?
Seven trade sizes: 1, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 inch. The strap is sized to the conduit it clamps, so order by the trade size of the raceway you are supporting, not by the outside diameter you measure.
2) Do these Thomas & Betts pipe straps come with mounting screws or anchors?
No. The strap is the clamp only, in malleable iron. You supply the fasteners suited to the substrate, machine screws or bolts into strut or metal, or anchors into concrete and masonry, so plan the fastener count and anchor type separately from the strap order.
3) Is a malleable iron pipe strap better than a steel two-hole strap for commercial conduit runs?
Malleable iron is the heavier-duty choice. These Thomas & Betts straps are cast malleable iron rather than formed sheet steel, so they hold their shape under load on larger raceways, which is why they are specified on commercial and industrial runs in the 2 to 6 inch range. For small-diameter residential work a light stamped steel strap is usually all the job calls for.
4) Will an electrogalvanized conduit strap hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
Electrogalvanizing is a zinc plating that gives corrosion resistance for dry and normally damp indoor environments, which is where these straps are intended to be used, in commercial and industrial conduit systems. For sustained outdoor exposure, washdown, or corrosive atmospheres, a hot dip galvanized or stainless strap is the more durable choice than an electroplated finish.
5) Can I use a pipe strap like this to support EMT, rigid, and IMC conduit?
These are sized to conduit trade size, so a 2 inch strap suits 2 inch raceway. Rigid and IMC share the same trade size dimensions, but EMT is a different outside diameter at the same trade size, so confirm the strap is matched to the raceway type you are running before you commit to a size across a whole job.
6) What is the part number for the 1 inch and 3 inch Thomas & Betts iron pipe strap?
The 1 inch strap is Thomas & Betts part 1278 and the 3 inch is part 1283. Quoting the number rather than the size avoids the common mix-up between the strap series and sheet metal straps of the same nominal size.
7) Are these straps suitable for a hospital or school conduit installation where everything needs to match?
Yes, and they standardize well. The same malleable iron electrogalvanized strap runs from 1 inch through 6 inch, so a facility can spec one strap family across small branch raceway and large feeder conduit, which is how they are typically used in healthcare, education, office and multi-unit residential buildings.
