We recently sat down with our Business Development Manager for Britclips Electrical Fixings, Dean Shotton and asked him some questions about the product range.
We have a wide range of products designed to support and secure electrical installations in different applications. Our market leading range of electrical fixings, Britclips®, consists of over 140 high quality fixings for multiple needs including:
It also includes our award-winning RSWB replacement for a wooden noggin. It is an adjustable metal bracket for fast mounting of electrical boxes within stud walls. The whole range is manufactured in the UK with high grade spring steel, offering cost-effective, high quality fixing.
The full range can be viewed here in our online Britclips® product list.
Yes, absolutely. Britclips® can be used whether you’re fixing cable and back boxes in small residential units or large commercial or industrial premises. There are articles for different sized beams and purlins so whether you have a 2mm beam or a 20mm beam we should have something to suit.
Absolutely, as long as they are installed in accordance with the guidelines of the 18th Edition. You can read our short article which summarises the 18th Edition wiring rules specific to electrical fixings here. Read about Britclips® and the 18th Edition.
Our Britclips® range are not fire rated. It is a common misconception that cable fixings need to be specifically fire rated. The 18th Edition states that it is no longer acceptable for plastic clips to be the only method used for fixing wiring in entry and exit routes. Instead, suitable ‘metal fixings’ should be used, because metal has a much higher melting point than plastic. There is no actual requirement for a fire rating, just the use of metal clips. You can read more about this in the same article as above.
Yes we can. If you need help finding a suitable fixing or if you simply have any questions about our product range you can contact our Technical Support team. They have all of the data available to them to provide you with advice and information. You can contact them through our form or by calling 01295 753400.
