SBT18 Multiple Conduit Mounting Plate

SBT18 Multiple Conduit Mounting PlatePrint this page

The SBT18 Multiple Conduit Mounting Plate, part of the CADDY® line of fasteners from ERICO, enables contractors to install up to three runs of conduit on a variety of surfaces, including beams, purlins, metal and wood studs, and plain and threaded rods.

Traditionally, contractors use a time-consuming method to run conduit that involves cutting lengths of strut, clamping those lengths to the mounting surface and using strut clamps to attach the conduit. The SBT18 provides for quick and easy snap-in attachment of up to three conduit clips and requires no tools for installation. And, when compared to a traditional conduit installation, the SBT18 offers over 80% savings on material and labor.

The SBT18 is available in a variety of pre-riveted assemblies, including hammer-on, beam clamp and multi-function clip. When used with a footed box support, the SBT18 facilitates conduit runs below raised floors.

The versatile mounting plate installs horizontally or vertically. It aligns with standard 1-1/2" deep electrical box knockouts and mounting holes. Because of this, the SBT18 eliminates conduit bends for 1/2" and 3/4" sizes.
