Installation of seismic-resistant supports for air duct cable trays

Installation of seismic-resistant supports for air duct cable trays

Seismic braces can be flexible using aircraft quality cables, or rigid (solid) using steel sections such as pipe, angles, or strut channels. Braces are typi-cally installed 30-40 ft (10-13 m) apart, at system turns and at the end of runs. Suspended systems such as piping, equipment and ductwork need seis-mic braces to keep them from swaying during an earthquake. Our strong legacy includes OSHPD OPA and OPM approvals, Structural Engineer approvals, and compliance with Internation-al Building.

Do cable trays need vertical supports

Do cable trays need vertical supports

The 2026 NEC introduced an important update: cable trays must have at least 12 inches of clear vertical space above them to allow for installation and maintenance access. This publication is intended as a practical guide for the proper and safe* installation of cable ladder systems, cable tray systems, channel support systems and associated supports. The National Electrical Code is a set of principles designed to promote public safety and welfare, as well as safeguard public health by regulating the design and operation of electrical facilities and. Proper installation can significantly reduce electromagnetic interference, prevent fire hazards, and improve overall efficiency. In vertical trays, cables shall also be secured at intermediate locations as necessary to keep all cables completely within and secured to the tray.

Construction of seismic-resistant supports for air ducts and cable trays

Suspended systems such as piping, equipment and ductwork need seis-mic braces to keep them from swaying during an earthquake. Seismic braces can be flexible using aircraft quality cables, or rigid (solid) using steel sections such as pipe, angles, or strut channels. The seismic restraint of pipe and duct is a task that requires several disciplines and trades to interface well in order to pr duce a building that meets the intent of the code. Many attachment examples and arrangements are presented, including anchors and the use of special devices called seismic restraint devices. The Easyex EFSCK Series Seismic Cable Restraint Kits are engineered to secure suspended non-structural components—such as ductwork, piping, conduit, cable trays, and HVAC equipment—against seismic, wind, and blast forces.

Spacing requirements for cable trays and pipe supports

Spacing requirements for cable trays and pipe supports

Spacing Standards: Electrical (power) and instrumentation (signal/control) cable trays should maintain a minimum vertical and horizontal distance. The spacing between trays, whether horizontal or vertical, depends on various factors like cable type, environment, and tray material. When developing our cable support OBO can offer reliable solutions for systems, three attributes are at the routing and fastening cables securely core of what we do: efficiency, resil- for each of these installation challeng-ience and safety.

The function of adjustable supports for tunnel cable trays

The function of adjustable supports for tunnel cable trays

Efficient cable management in tunnel construction facilitates the installation, maintenance and expansion of your cable trays. Early planning of the cable support structure and the selection of suitable products reduce planning errors and subsequent adjustments. These solutions provide optimum safety, flexibility and excellent corrosion resistance for ety lighting, signs, ventilation, etc. The WKV 35 angle connector is designed for 90° bends and can be adjusted to 45° on-site. A rung spacing of 6 to 9 inches (150 to 230 mm) is preferable when the cable tray cont d for instrumentation and control applications that require.
