Aeroprecision, Lakewood, WA

Aero Precision Inc owns a 266,208 square foot warehouse in the Lakewood Industrial Park for its manufacturing operations of firearms and aerospace parts. Valor Electric was tasked with installing conduit and cable basket runs to all the new manufacturing equipment.

Traditionally, they would have used threaded rod and strut on this project. Couplers would be needed to join 10ft lengths of rod. Plus, nuts and washers needed to attach rod to strut. They were looking for a faster solution. Valor Electric had used Gripple products before and chose it for their conduit and cable basket installation. Utilizing the Universal Bracket UniGrip eliminated the need for tools and reduced time working at height.

The Universal Bracket pre-cut lengths of 41in, 37in and 25in were perfect for current needs plus left installation space for additional conduit that may be added in the future. The extra space also came in handy for another contractor (NW Pump) who needed to install air lines for pneumatic equipment.

“Installing multiple trapeze racks with 20ft drop lengths was much easier using Gripple cable hangers and Unigrip fasteners with precut length’s of Gripple Strut. Everything shows up on site ready to use. No cutting strut to 3 different lengths plus having to couple 10ft sticks of threaded rod for the 20ft drops.”
