Zip-Strut


Pre-fabricated, Strut System for Cable Containment & Service Support.

 

Zip-Strut is a compact, pre-engineered strut system designed to support cable containment, pipework and multiple building services from a single bearer.

 

It's a fast, space-saving alternative to traditional strut channel — ideal wherever cable trays, ductwork or pipe supports need to share one suspension point.

 

Features & Benefits

  • Supports multiple building services - cable containment, pipework and ductwork - from a single bearer
  • Built-in, fold-down basket tabs
  • Finite height adjustment, allowing for exact drop lengths & level containment runs.
  • Compact design, ideal for low void spaces and tight ceiling voids.
  • Full material traceability for compliance and quality assurance.
  • Ideal for pitched roofs.
  • No on-site cutting = no hot works permits

 

Availability

Pre-cut strut lengths: 260 mm, 400 mm, 600 mm & 800 mm

 

Materials

  • DX51 Steel
  • Pre-galvanised Zintek

INSTALLATION

 

• The first step for the installation process is to ensure the wire rope is secured to the ceiling with the required fixing.

• The second step for the installation process is to ensure the collars on the Strut-Locks are released to allow the wire rope to pass through

 

ADJUSTMENT – STRUT-LOCK

 

Please note: Before any adjustments can be made it is necessary to take all weight off the Zip-Clip device. It will not be possible to make adjustment if this is not done.

1. Back-off the locking collar. Do not undo fully. Depress plunger.

2. Insert wire rope through the plunger at the top of the device.

3. Adjust the position by depressing the plunger and moving along on the wire.

4. Once the trapeze bracket is in position, release the plunger and wind the locking collar up to the shoulder.

5. Lock the trapeze position by turning the locking collar clockwise.

Repeat steps 1 – 5 to build a multi-tier bracket.

Torque setting: It is recommended that the Strut-Lock device is not overtightened during installation. If it is possible to apply a torque value during installation, this should be no more than 15 Nm. Do not use a drill or impact driver to tighten.

 

TO UNDO:

1. Undo locking collar.

2. Depress plunger.

3. Reposition device to required height.

4. Re-lock collar.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Always ensure the load is supported before actuating the plunger to perform adjustment.

 

FAQ

 

What is Zip-Strut used for?
Zip-Strut is a strut system used to support cable containment, pipework and other building services from a single bearer, saving space and installation time.

 

What sizes does Zip-Strut come in?
Zip-Strut is available in four pre-cut lengths: 260 mm, 400 mm, 600 mm and 800 mm.

 

Can Zip-Strut be used outdoors or near the coast?
The standard Zip-Strut range is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications or coastal/corrosive environments, a stainless steel solution is recommended – contact us to discuss.

 

What loads can Zip-Strut support?
Zip-Strut is designed for static loads only. Dynamic or shock loads should be avoided, as they can exceed the safe working load (SWL) of the system.

 

What materials is Zip-Strut made from?
Zip-Strut is manufactured from DX51 steel with a pre-galvanised Zintec finish.

MANUFACTURERS RECCOMENDATIONS

The Zip-Clip Zip-Strut system is designed to support STATIC loads only. Dynamic and shock loads must be avoided and can greatly increase the overall weight of the product being suspended and therefore compromise the safe working load of the suspension. To ensure integrity and safety of the system only Zip-Clip wire rope should be used.

• Do not exceed the safe working load (SWL) of the product.
• Do not use locking devices with a coated wire rope.
• Do not paint or apply any other coating.
• Do not lubricate.
• Do not use for lifting applications.
• Remove any frayed cable prior to inserting into the locking devices or Strut-Locks.
• Do not shock load.
• Do not use for dynamic loads/installations.
• Do not overload.
• Do not mix Zip-Clip systems with other wire rope suspension manufacturers products.
• Do not use in corrosive environments, e.g. chlorinated environments – For specialist applications, such as corrosive environments, please contact Zip-Clip Technical Department.
