1. BLITZCLIP Cable Gripper and Blitz Wire Rope
Gripper code, safe working load and wire rope values for a BLITZCLIP Two-way Cable Gripper used with Blitz Wire Rope, as printed on the manufacturer's data sheets. Select the wire diameter and the angle. Enter the load on the suspension point to compare it with the gripper safe working load after the angle factor. The wire safe working load is shown beside it and is not used in the check.
2. BLITZCLIP Duct Hanger and Trapeze Hanger
Product code and safe working load for the BLITZCLIP Duct Hanger and the BLITZCLIP Trapeze Hanger, as printed on the manufacturer's data sheets. Select the hanger and the wire diameter. Enter the load on the hanger to compare it with the hanger safe working load. The Duct Hanger safe working load is held, so no value is shown and no check is made for it. No angle factor is printed for the hangers.
Basis and limits
- Sources: Blitz Systems BLITZCLIP Cable Grippers, Wire Rope (FCS-WR), BLITZCLIP Duct Hanger (FCS-BCDH) and BLITZCLIP Trapeze Hanger (FCS-BCTH) data sheets. All values and product codes are as printed on those sheets.
- Values keep the term and unit each sheet prints: SWL (kg), breaking load (kg) and breaking strength (kg).
- Gripper: the safe working load applies with Blitz Wire only. Blitz Systems does not guarantee it when Blitz Wire has not been used.
- Gripper: the angle factor is one of the three printed values. The data sheet does not say how the angle is measured and gives no value between them, so no other angle is offered. The assembly drawing shows a maximum angle of 60 degrees between the two legs of the loop at the gripper and a minimum wire tail of 15cm.
- Gripper: the load entered is compared with the gripper safe working load after the angle factor. The wire safe working load is shown beside it as printed. It is not reduced for the angle, and no governing value is given.
- Wire: the 3.20 mm and 6.35 mm reels are shown against the wire construction rows printed as 3.00mm (7x7) and 6.00mm (7x19). This match is not confirmed by the manufacturer.
- No gripper is printed for 6.35 mm wire, and no reel is printed for 1.5, 2.4 or 4.0 mm wire. Only the reel diameters are offered.
- Duct Hanger: the safe working load is printed as a range without the wire that gives each value. It is held and is not shown or used. The data sheet is treated as a draft.
- Trapeze Hanger: the 50 kg safe working load is published as printed for the wire range 2.0mm to 3.2mm. The data sheet is treated as a draft until the manufacturer confirms it.
- Hangers: no angle factor is printed for the hangers and none is applied. The wire safe working load is shown beside the hanger value and is not used in the check.
- Values from different data sheets are not combined into a governing value. Fixings, screws, the trapeze, the duct, the supporting structure and the suspended item are not checked.
- Values are not interpolated or extrapolated.
- Preliminary selection only. Confirm the final design with Blitz Systems.
