HellermannTyton, maker of commercial/industrial wire protection products, sent word of a new HelaGuard Double-Slit Corrugated Conduit. The two-piece solution features one semi-circular tube that snaps over another to envelop a wire or cable bundle. This makes it possible to add flexible corrugated protection to wiring that is already connected on both ends.

Standard conduit requires installers to guide cabling into and through the length of tubing. That is less of an issue at the time of manufacture. But if the ends of the wire are soldered to a terminal or otherwise inaccessible, non-slit conduit – and even single-slit conduit – can be tedious or impossible to apply.

“The double-slit design is ideal for installers and MRO,” says Maureen Janosch, head of product management. “A technician can lay the cable over one length of the open-sided HelaGuard product and snap the other length over it to complete the installation.”

Sliding wire into standard flexible, corrugated conduit can result in wire ends snagging inside, and if the wiring has a terminal on the end, a wider than necessary conduit diameter must be used. HelaGuard Double Slit allows installers to choose a narrow diameter, saving space in cramped applications.

Three material options address the unique priorities of each market:

All are offered in six diameters and work with HellermannTyton’s standard nylon snap-on style fittings and hinged clips to serve a range of applications.

We have a ton video interviews and additional content on our YouTube page. Recently we debuted Power Forward! -- a collaboration with BayWa r.e. to discuss higher level industry topics as well as best practices / trends for running a solar business today. Our longer running side project is The Pitch -- in which we have awkward discussions with solar manufacturers and suppliers about their new technology and ideas so that you don't have to. We've discusses everything from residential rail-less deck attaching and home solar financing to large-scale energy storage value stacking and utility-driven new home solar + storage microgrids. We also post our Project of the Year announcements there! Interviews with this year's winners will be up starting the week of Nov. 8. Head there and subscribe today to stay on top of all this extra stuff.
