Fasteners and wall plugs

A fastener is selected according to what it secures and the substrate in which it is installed. Distinguish a cable holder, conduit mount, clip and wall plug before comparing dimensions and packaging.

The cable and conduit require different selection processes

Product titles include fixings for flat and round cables, conduit mounting bases and other forms of fixing. Record the shape and external size of the element being secured. Conductor cross-section is not the only dimension that may be needed when choosing a holder. Check the purpose and full size range of the exact reference. For accessories for a specific conduit system, first identify the conduit itself in cable conduits.

An example with a specific cable holder

USMP2 with reference 16.1 from ELEKTRO-PLAST Opatówek is a polypropylene flat cable holder. For this model, the manufacturer specifies a mounting hole of 6–7 mm. These are data for the exact USMP2/16.1; do not transfer them to USMO, USMH or another USMP size. When comparing in the ELEKTRO-PLAST collection, retain the full product identity. The manufacturer's general name and a similar appearance do not replace checking the code.

The base and mounting assembly

Specify the substrate material and condition, mounting method required and load planned in the design. Seek the corresponding instructions for the selected fastener. Do not infer permissible load or fire classification from size, colour or name. Check package contents: a holder alone, kit or pack of a defined quantity. If additional screws or other parts are needed, identify them from mounting requirements instead of assuming inclusion.

Organise fasteners by application

For each cable or conduit group, make a separate line with reference, substrate and quantity. For a support system for a larger route, browse cable trays and fixings; a small cable holder does not replace checking the whole structure. To complete the other sections, use cable trunking and accessories and the general cable routing and installation section. Check quantities against the actual mounting points and instructions for the relevant system.
