Kidde Alarmline ‘T’ clip – pack of 100

The Kidde AlarmLine ACA-CT "T" clips are designed to secure LHD (linear heat detection) sensor cables. They may be used as ceiling or wall mount clips. A clip consists of a low density polyethylene resin moulding with a slot into which the heat sensing cable is located, combined with a 25 mm stand-off. In ceiling applications, the 25 mm stand-off exposes the cable faster to any rise in temperature as it lifts the cable out of the layer of colder air that is often trapped against the ceiling. Secure a clip with a screw and wall plug using an M8 pan head screw self tapping screw. For extra security use a tie wrap to prevent the cable from being pulled from the clip. A figure-8 configuration on the tie wrap is ideal for this. Spacing for clips is recommended every metre along the length of the cable. Two clips in close proximity are used at 90 degree bends or where the cable route changes direction. For space protection applications, the ideal location for the heat sensing cable is on the ceiling or the top of the sidewall. This ensures that the cable is rapidly exposed to the plume of hot gases from any event that may arise and spread across the ceiling.
