 Posted: Wed Mar 17, 2010 8:16 am Post subject: Securing Conduit |
 |
|
I am running a piece of ½” flexible conduit from the battery compartment and back through the tailcone. It’s actually travelling through (3) bulkhead lightening holes on the lower/left side of the tailcone. Each end is secured by Adel clamps and the middle bulkhead has a grommet.
However, after installing the conduit there is still quite a bit of slack between the bulkheads and I’d like to add some support(s) between each one.
I’m thinking about using a 1” x 1” nylon block (Lowes Aviation Dept) that is secured to the skin and then using a zip-tie to secure the conduit. I think E6000 (IIRC) is will stick and stay stuck.
<![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>Is this an acceptable method to add incremental support for conduit?
<![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>Are there any significant risks in causing skin cracks around rivets later?
<![if !supportLists]>3) <![endif]>Any advice on other materials to use?
Thanks,
Phil

The flex conduit runs I've seen in the tail don't have any additional support. I'm planning on using thin-wall PVC pipe and hangars from Home Depot (idea came from another builder!) for conduit in the wings and in the tail.
