Traditional air handling duct suspension systems, such as threaded bars, can be costly, time-consuming and inefficient. A cable suspension system, such as Zip-Clip, provides a faster, more reliable solution to air handling duct suspension, saving money and improving efficiencies. 

What is a Zip-Clip cable suspension solution?

A Zip-Clip is a form of cable suspension providing a strong but stylish high-spec solution to outdated threaded bars. Based on a very simple, yet effective locking mechanism, the Zip-Clip suspension system is far easier to handle making it quicker to install and adjust, no matter the setting. 

Zip-Clip suspension industrial applications

Air Handling Duct Suspension Systems

Aside from providing a fast and efficient solution for Air handling duct suspension, the Zip-Clip wire-based suspension solution is suitable for a number of applications including for use with timber, decking, service supports, purlins, wrap-aroundwrap, concrete, catenary and roof supports. The diverse nature of the Zip-Clip solution, its simplicity and ease of use, have made it popular for use in HVAC, mechanical installations and electrical installations to serve all manner of functions, including as a suspension solution for lighting supports, for exhibition suspended structures, for catenary systems, in seismic bracing, for Building Information Modelling (BIM), for securing 7×7 and 19×7 aircraft cables, for suspended acoustic panels, for suspended signage, for cable tray and cable basket supports and even in trapeze. 

What are the benefits of a Zip-Clip cable suspension system for Air Handling duct installations?

Making the switch to a wire-based Zip-Clip suspension system for air handling ducts is simple and cost-effective, bringing with it a wide range of benefits including:

  • A reduction in labour costs – The Zip-Clip solution is based on a highly effective locking mechanism that is easier to handle and simpler to install, cutting installation times and therefore the cost of labour.
  • Better safety – the simplicity of the Zip-Clip solution reduces the amount of time that workers must spend at heights, improving site safety. 
  • Easier adjustments – Adjustments can be made easily to the Zip-Clip system without the need for tools or specialist equipment.
  • Reduced logistics costs – Wire-based cable suspension systems are easier to transport and handle than threaded bars.
  • No additional permits – Wire-based cable suspension does not require an on-site hot-work permit as it is cold cut.
  • Less vibrational disturbance – The installation of wire-based cable suspension reduces vibrational disturbance.
  • A more aesthetically pleasing visual impact – Zip-Clip wire-based suspension solutions have a far less visual impact making them popular for interior design where the suspension will be visible.
