• For brick and concrete walls or roofs, use
the nVent ERICO brand of stainless steel
saddles. These have two mm
(¼ in.) diameter holes on either side
and are suitable for use with masonry
anchors. These saddles can also be used
with other suitable fastenings against
wood, fiberglass and metallic surfaces.
• When securing externally to round section
structures such as pipes, tower legs,
masts etc. stainless steel cable ties are
recommended. Ensure that these are
firmly secured.
• For securing to other structures such as
angle iron i.e.: radio towers, structural
beams etc., use nVent CADDY brand of
beam clamps and suitable cable clamps
from nVent ERICO.
• If the downconductor is to be routed
above a false ceiling, ensure that it is fixed
to the underside of the concrete floor slab
using stainless steel saddles.
• Use of exothermic fastening methods
on nVent ERICO brand of saddles is
NOT recommended.
• Use of nVent CADDY ERISTRUT (or other
similar strut system) is recommended
where suitable (see Figure ).
