TecLoc Conduit Claw Seismic Rod Stiffening Clip for Conduit

We have calculated compression loads, so this would indicate to the engineer if a suitable solution is available. You could use RMC pipe, as this is a stronger alternative, also. Worst case, if the loads, etc., are too high, we have a different solution that works with a strut if the design is a no-go.

The installation time on the TecLoc Conduit Claw is much faster than strut solutions, so you need to consider labor rates.

Find out the engineering partner and provide the details to get into their submittals. Often specifies ‘or similar’ on product solutions, so this may be a sensible workaround in the short term.

This will be handled during the engineering, and you would then be advised which drops are seismic and which then need stiffening. At Gripple, we only indicate the drops that require this and don’t offer it as standard.
