Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2016 7:06 pm Post subject: Securing Split PVC Conduit

Folks,



I am using some split PVC conduit in my plane and two of the runs are pretty close to vertical, about 4 feet long. Sitting in my garage, with the wires not yet secured at the bottom, the conduit keeps trying to slide downward in the 2 inch square channels through which it runs. I think that I ought to secure it somehow and wonder if you have any ideas that will keep it in place.

Maybe I can wrap a thin cable tie around it and get it to slip into a groove?

Or maybe wrap it with silicone self-sealing tape and the put an AN742 clamp around it?

Thanks,

    -- Art Z.

Is conduit necessary inside of a channel?

When there are sharp things sticking into the channel, yes

Hi Art,

You could probably use safety wire wrapped around the split loom and hang it using tape to hold the safety wire.

I’ve used lacing tape for that purpose in the past. So friendly to do-overs.

Hi Neal and Art;



Google "wire ties with mounting holes."

Morris Products makes several types.

Cheers!   Stu.

Holger,



I think this will work perfectly. Thank you! The lacing will slip into the grooves on the conduit. I can attach nylon cable tie anchors to the airplane and lace the conduit to the anchors.

Cheers,

Clean the aluminum with solvent prior to sticking on the cable tie mounts or else they will eventually fall off.
