Hi
As I work on wiring, I am a bit unsure of how to secure wing wiring. I have two small, light pitot tubes related to the AFS AOA system. They are running through a 3/8” bushing along with a COAX cable. The bushing is larger than required so I am wonder if it is necessary to secure the tubes & coax so that they do not move. If so, what is the recommended procedure?
Inquiring m minds need to know.
Cheers

Les,
I put a few dabs of silicone on the the areas where the wire/tubes ran through the bushings at the beginning and end of the runs.

Thanks Rick
That sounds like a plan.
Cheers

I used adel clamps at the inspection panels to firmly attach the wiring; I would be careful of potting them in with silicon or anything else as those holes may need to carry another wire at a later date. it's difficult to insert another wire in a hole potted with silicone within a wing.

I don't have the same situation since my pitot tube is running separately from any coax. But where I have coax and lighting wires, I am tying them together in the middle of each rib bay between the bushings. I did this before the bottom skin went on. I used the waxed string stuff. Seems better than letting them remain separate for the 12"+ between ribs.

I just received a spool of wire lacing from Stein today along with a package of other goodies. I was going to tie the COAX and tubes using a running set of knots. My only concern was the small tubes “bouncing” in the bushings. This may be a non-issue though.

Les, did you get your brackets yet? I didn't know I was supposed to fill out a cnkjdahaerfgf custom form... so let me know. In my wing I used a length of that thin wall drip sprinkler system pipe. Really cheap, really light, and no chaffing. Don

Hi Don
No brackets yet but I am sure they will appear in a few days. Crossing the boarder always adds a bit to transit. Sorry about the &^*%*% customs forms. Unfortunately we get all the government we pay for. Damn!
Cheers
Les
PS: I will look for some of the sprinkler tubing and see if it will do. I am reluctant to tie the AOA tubes too tightly as they are so very soft. It wouldn’t help to accidently pinch a tube deep in the wing.

That tubing is great..I used it along both sides of the fuselage also.... adding wires later, either in the wings or fuselage, a piece of cake. I used cut off connectors to secure them on one side of each bulkhead. Don

Les,
I pulled my AoA tubing through individual snap bushings (SB375-4 I think) where Van has his pitot tubing. Really not that hard to put in a new set of holes and bushings and the tubes stay rigid by themselves. The snap bushings give just enough resistance to keep everything in place.
For electrical conduit I drilled out Van's snap bushing run to take his corrugated nylon tubing. You need the right size uni-bit and a nifty 12" drill bit extension that fits the uni-bit shank from Home Depot. It's made by Ridgid and the "chuck" is 3/4". It will follow a 3/4" uni-bit through a hole without a problem.
Van's conduit is corrugated so you need to use a vacuum to pull a string through to get started. I replaced the string with a length of weed-eater line for future use.
In the fuselage I used more of Van's tubing but also - as suggested by others on this thread - thin wall irrigation tubing. The irrigation tubing has the advantage of smooth insides so you can push a wire through. It's heavier but not by much.
John
