Product Usage Instructions
Installation
- Identify the appropriate location on the beam where the strut channel needs to be clamped.
- Place the U-shaped clip at the back of the strut channel, aligning it with the desired location on the beam.
- Insert the hex bolt through the holes in the U-shaped clip and the beam.
- Tighten the hex bolt securely using an appropriate tool.
- Repeat steps 1-4 for the second strut beam clamp, as these clamps need to be installed in pairs.
Usage
This internal strut beam clamp is designed to securely attach a strut channel
to a beam. It is commonly used in construction and industrial applications to
provide structural support and stability. The clamp is made of steel with an
electrogalvanized finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
Load Limitations
The maximum static load capacity for this product is 660 lb. It is important
to consider the weight and load distribution when determining the number of
strut beam clamps required for a specific application. Always ensure that the
total load does not exceed the specified limit.
Safety Precautions
- Follow all instructions and warnings provided by nVent to ensure safe and proper installation.
- Inspect the product before each use to ensure it is in good condition and free from any defects or damage.
- Do not exceed the maximum load capacity of the clamp.
- Ensure the strut channel and beam are compatible with the clamp before installation.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling or installing the product.
Maintenance
Regularly inspect the strut beam clamps for any signs of wear, damage, or
loosening. If any issues are detected, discontinue use and replace the clamp
as necessary. Keep the clamps clean and free from debris to maintain their
performance and longevity.
Removal
To remove the strut beam clamps, simply loosen and remove the hex bolts using
an appropriate tool. Take caution to avoid any potential hazards or falling
objects during the removal process.
FAQ
-
Can I install the strut beam clamps individually without using them in pairs?
No, the strut beam clamps must be installed in pairs to ensure proper stability and load distribution. Installing them individually may compromise the structural integrity of the system. -
Can I use these clamps for outdoor applications?
Yes, the electrogalvanized finish provides corrosion resistance, making these clamps suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. -
How do I calculate the flange thickness when considering the strut channel thickness?
When calculating the flange thickness, include the thickness of the strut channel along with any other components that may affect the clamping mechanism. -
What should I do if I exceed the maximum load capacity of the clamp?
Exceeding the maximum load capacity can lead to product failure and potential hazards. It is crucial to ensure that the load does not exceed the specified limit. If you require a higher load capacity, consider using additional strut beam clamps or alternative support solutions.
