The Wedge Clip, paired with any heavy duty cable tie, routes cables along a frame or rail in vertical or horizontal applications. A robust design and durable materials make it ideal for extreme-duty applications. The integrated wedge mechanism slides along a stepped grade until snug against the mounting surface. Inside the clip is a 3M™ VHB™ (Very High Bond) adhesive pad, which builds strength over time. This holds the clip to the work surface instantly, enabling installers to place it into position without worrying about it falling off prior to fastening. The combination of adhesive and the clip’s vice-like compression result in incredible extraction force without the need to drill holes. The Wedge Clip is made of a proprietary PA66 blend to resist impact, heat and UV exposure. It is offered in three sizes to accommodate material thicknesses up to 0.51 inch (13 mm).
Features and Benefits
Installation
Thoroughly clean surface. Use a 50/50 mix of isopropanol and water for best results, as commercial cleaners may leave residue.
Peel off adhesive liner.
Move Wedge Clip into position, avoiding contact with adhesive. When satisfied with location, press adhesive pad firmly against work surface.
Using your hand or an adjustable pliers (e.g. CHANNELLOCK®), guide the wedge inward until secure –taking care not to over-torque the clip and distort its shape.
Apply cable tie to any of the three 4-way saddles using an EVO® 7 or EVO 9 tension & cut-off tool.
HellermannTyton's heavy-duty wide strap cable ties are perfectly suited for use with the Wedge Clip
The Heavy-Duty Wide Strap Cable Tie was designed to minimize the pinching of soft bundles and the potential of lateral movement along the bundle. The low-profile head and underside clamping rails increase the grip around the bundle and provide a better fit than traditional cable ties. These are used primarily in the trucking and heavy equipment industries but can be used in a wide variety of applications where strength is needed.
