Zip-Clip Black System

The system designed to blend in with its surroundings, offering installations with extra discretion.

THE BLACK SYSTEM consists of blackened wire rope in a variety of diameters and lengths supplied either on reels or in pre-determined lengths, along with the corresponding Zip-Clip locking device(s).

The option of reels gives installers the flexibility to custom-fit desired drop lengths on-site for both lightweight or heavy-duty installations.

Zip-Clip devices are utilised to anchor the wire rope to a ceiling or anchor point, as well as to the desired fixture or fitting.

AVAILABILITY

Zip-Clip have five different systems which are allocated a letter to differentiate between the available safe working loads (SWL).

Each system comprises a specific diameter of wire rope and comes with the required Zip-Clip device.

Loads indicated are per individual wire rope support when coupled with the appropriate Zip-Clip locking device.
All safe working loads and certifications are based on the Zip-Clip Rize devices being used in conjunction with Zip-Clip high tensile wire rope.
Zip-Clip cannot guarantee the safe working load of a product when used with non-Zip-Clip wire rope and cannot support projects where non-Zip-Clip wire rope has been used.

Zip-Clip Loop-It suspension systems are also available as part of the Black system. Technical specifications and usability are as the standard versions, only the colour is different.

Note: The aluminium ferrule on Black Loop-It system will be grey-coloured.
