120-Minute Fire-Rated Cable Support

The QFGFC25 is rated for 120 minutes, providing a dependable cable-support solution where enhanced performance during a fire is required.

Fire-safe cable supports are designed to help prevent cables from collapsing prematurely if other elements of the cable-management system are compromised by high temperatures.

This is particularly important in locations where fallen or unsupported cables could create an obstruction or additional hazard during an emergency.

PH120 Fire Performance

BS EN 50200:2006 PH120 for the QFGFC25.

The manufacturer also references:

• BS 5839-1:2013 Section 26.2e
• BS 8434-2:2003
• BS EN 50200:2006 PH120

Tested Under Demanding Fire Conditions

Unicrimp's technical data states that, when used with appropriate fixings, the QFGFC25 can securely hold cables on a surface at approximately 930°C for at least two hours.

The manufacturer's testing procedure subjects the cable support to flame and mechanical shock for 60 minutes, followed by further exposure incorporating water spray and mechanical shock for another 60 minutes.

This demanding test arrangement is designed to demonstrate the clip's ability to continue providing cable retention under severe fire conditions.

1000°C Material Yield Temperature

The annealed steel used for the QFGFC25 has a stated material yield temperature of 1000°C.

This high-temperature capability is one of the principal reasons metallic cable supports are used where continued cable retention during a fire is required.

Unlike conventional plastic cable clips, the QFGFC25 does not depend on a thermoplastic body to retain the cable.

Designed for 25mm Trunking

The QFGFC25 is specifically designed for 25mm trunking.

This makes selection straightforward when installing fire-safe cable retention within a compatible 25mm PVC trunking system.

The clip can be positioned at appropriate intervals along the cable route to provide independent metallic support for the wiring.

Annealed Steel Construction

The QFGFC25 is manufactured from annealed steel.

Steel construction provides the high-temperature performance required from a fire-safe cable-support accessory while also offering the strength needed to retain cabling securely.

This makes the clip particularly suitable for electrical installations where relying solely on plastic cable supports would be inappropriate.

Non-Corrosive Finish

The clips incorporate a non-corrosive finish, helping provide dependable long-term performance in suitable installation environments.

The combination of durable steel construction and corrosion resistance makes the QFGFC25 a practical choice for professional cable-management installations.

Easy-Fold Retaining Tabs

The QFGFC25 incorporates convenient easy-fold tabs.

Once the cables have been positioned within the clip, the tabs can be folded into place to retain them securely.

This simple design helps electricians install fire-safe cable support efficiently without introducing an unnecessarily complicated cable-retention system.

Helps Prevent Premature Cable Collapse

One of the main purposes of the Unicrimp Q-Fire range is to help prevent cables from dropping prematurely during a fire.

If cabling is supported solely by plastic trunking, clips or other thermoplastic components, those components may lose their mechanical integrity when subjected to sufficiently high temperatures.

The QFGFC25 provides an independent metallic support point, helping retain the cable if surrounding plastic containment is compromised.

Suitable for PVC Trunking

The QFGFC25 can be incorporated into appropriate 25mm PVC trunking installations.

The metallic clip provides additional fire-safe cable retention inside the containment, meaning the cables do not depend exclusively on the PVC trunking for mechanical support under fire conditions.

This makes the QFGFC25 particularly useful when installing new trunking systems where fire-safe cable retention needs to be incorporated from the outset.

Suitable for Surface Mounting

The QFGFC25 is not restricted to use inside trunking.

Unicrimp also specifies the fire-safe clips as suitable for appropriate surface-mounted applications.

This allows them to be used to retain cabling directly against suitable walls, ceilings and other surfaces when installed with an appropriate fixing.

Ideal for Ceiling Voids

The Q-Fire fire-safe cable clips are also suitable for ceiling void applications.

Ceiling voids can contain substantial quantities of electrical and communications cabling, making appropriate cable support particularly important.

Metallic cable-retention points can help prevent cables from falling if other elements of the containment system are compromised during a fire.

6mm Fixing Diameter

The QFGFC25 incorporates a 6mm fixing hole.

This allows the clip to be mechanically secured to a suitable substrate using an appropriate fixing.

Correct fixing selection is essential because the fire-safe performance of a cable-support arrangement depends not only on the clip itself but also on the method used to attach it to the building structure.

Compact 20mm Width

The clip measures approximately 20mm wide, providing a compact metallic support that can be incorporated neatly into compatible trunking and surface-mounted cable routes.

Its compact construction helps provide the required cable retention without unnecessarily occupying space within the containment system.

46mm Unfolded Length

The QFGFC25 has an unfolded length of approximately 46mm.

The foldable design allows the tabs to be closed around the installed cabling after positioning, providing a simple and secure retention method.

Designed for Professional Electrical Installation

The QFGFC25 is particularly useful for electricians undertaking:

• New Electrical Installations
• Commercial Refurbishments
• Residential Developments
• Fire Alarm Installations
• Emergency Lighting Projects
• Cable Management Upgrades
• Public Building Projects
• Maintenance Work

Its straightforward design allows metallic cable support to be incorporated without unnecessarily complicating the installation process.

Suitable for Commercial Buildings

Commercial properties can contain extensive cable routes throughout corridors, ceiling voids, service areas and electrical risers.

The QFGFC25 can be incorporated into suitable 25mm trunking and surface-mounted installations where fire-safe cable retention is required.

Potential applications include offices, shops, hotels, restaurants, warehouses and other commercial premises.

Suitable for Public Buildings

Fire-safe cable support can be particularly important in buildings occupied by large numbers of people.

The QFGFC25 can be incorporated into appropriately designed electrical installations in environments such as:

• Schools
• Colleges
• Healthcare Facilities
• Community Buildings
• Public Facilities
• Communal Areas
• Circulation Routes

The overall cable-support system should always be designed according to the specific installation requirements and applicable regulations.

Suitable for Residential Developments

The QFGFC25 can also be used for appropriate residential and multi-occupancy electrical installations.

Potential applications include communal corridors, stairwells, service cupboards, risers and other areas where cabling requires secure metallic support.

Suitable for Fire Alarm Cabling

The QFGFC25 is particularly relevant to appropriate fire alarm cable installations where suitable cable support forms an important part of maintaining the integrity of the installed system.

The manufacturer's technical documentation references BS 5839-1, reinforcing the product's suitability for appropriately designed fire-detection and alarm cable-support applications.

Suitable for Emergency & Life-Safety Wiring

Metallic cable retention can also be used as part of appropriate emergency and life-safety wiring installations.

Where continued cable support under fire conditions is required, the QFGFC25 provides a compact steel fixing solution for compatible 25mm cable routes.

The precise cable, fixing method and support spacing should always be selected according to the system design and relevant requirements.

Part of the Unicrimp Q-Fire Range

The QFGFC25 forms part of Unicrimp's comprehensive Q-Fire fire-resistant cable-support range.

Q-Fire includes a variety of products designed to help prevent premature cable collapse, including:

• Fire-Safe Cable Clips
• Cable Cleats
