Zip-Clip Dec-Lock

THE DEC-LOCK SYSTEM is a wire suspension solution that will suspend applications from concrete over rib-deck ceilings. The system offers a non-destructive way of anchoring a wire suspension to the base material and utilises specific wedges that are designed to fit into the profile channels found running along the underside of the rib-deck. Each Dec-Lock support consists of a deck wedge coupled with an eye bolt adapter, nut, and washer along with a pre-determined length of wire rope supplied complete with an appropriate Zip-Clip locking device.

 

DEC WEDGE OPTIONS

 

V-NUTS

Dec-Lock fixings are supplied with V-Nut deck wedges. These are tapered components. V-Nut wedges are available in two sizes Standard and Mini Mini for smaller deck profiles. Please download or request our Dec-Lock product datasheet for clarification.

To confirm: A standard Dec-Lock is supplied with a Standard V-Nut. Smaller Mini Mini wedges must be requested.

 

MULTI-WEDGE

The Zip-Clip Multi-Wedge is a flexible decking fixing that can be used for different decking profiles. It is a one-piece unit with an interchangeable grub screw that can be repositioned and tightened against the roof of the decking channel. The width of the fixing can therefore be changed to fit different channels.

Note: The Multi-Wedge is a made-to-order item, product code MA6810.

 

LINDAPTER WEDGES

Dec-Lock suspensions can also be supplied incorporating Lindapter deck wedges.

For confirmation of wedge types available please contact us or see our Dec-Lock product datasheet.

Note: Dec-Locks provided with Lindapter wedges incorporate forged eye bolt adapters, the complete Lindapter wedge anchor, washer, and locking nut.
