Overview

The ABB E978JC-CAR Snap Strap™ conduit support strap is a high-strength, non-metallic clamp designed to secure PVC and rigid steel conduit installations. Constructed from UV-inhibited polypropylene, this gray strap resists degradation from direct sunlight, ensuring long-term durability in exposed environments. Its innovative design accommodates conduit expansion and contraction, preventing bowing and structural stress caused by temperature fluctuations. This feature maintains a neat, professional appearance in industrial and commercial applications while meeting NEC® Section 352.30 and CEC 12-1114 spacing requirements. Key specifications include a 2-inch conduit size, 4.00-inch length (101.6 mm), 1.00-inch width (25.4 mm), and 2.86-inch height (72.64 mm). The strap weighs 5 lbs per standard carton of 10 units, providing an economical solution for projects of all sizes. Unlike metallic clamps, this polypropylene strap eliminates corrosion risks and reduces thermal conductivity, making it ideal for outdoor or corrosive environments. Installation requires only a screwdriver and mounting screws (not included). Compatible with 2-inch PVC and rigid steel conduit, the E978JC-CAR is a versatile choice for electrical contractors, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings requiring reliable conduit support. Its snap-on design simplifies installation while ensuring secure, vibration-resistant mounting. For applications demanding aesthetic consistency, the gray color blends seamlessly with most conduit systems.
