Overview

The ABB RC 1/2 Clamp (SKU: RC 1/2) is a precision-engineered beam clamp designed for secure mounting of 1/2-inch conduit or pipe parallel to structural beams in industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products from durable malleable iron, this clamp ensures long-term reliability with a nominal outer diameter of 0.840 inches for standard 1/2-inch conduit sizing. The clamp features a nominal 0.015-inch (15 mil) PVC coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, meeting industry standards for structural support and electrical installations. Key specifications include compatibility with 1/2-inch nominal conduit sizes, a metric size designator of 16 (per ANSI C80.1-1994), and encapsulated hex-shaped nuts for standard wrench compatibility. The clamp’s design supports parallel mounting to beams, providing a stable foundation for conduit runs in mechanical systems, electrical installations, and structural frameworks. Stainless steel hardware is included for added durability. Ideal for applications requiring compliance with electrical safety standards, the RC 1/2 Clamp offers a load-rated solution for industrial environments. Its robust construction and corrosion protection make it suitable for use in harsh conditions, including outdoor installations and chemically aggressive atmospheres. The clamp’s simplicity in design ensures quick and tool-free installation, reducing labor costs and project timelines. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable mounting solutions that meet rigorous industry standards, including UNSPSC code 39121701. The RC 1/2 Clamp is a cost-effective, high-performance component for any project requiring secure conduit or pipe attachment to beams.
