120-Minute Fire-Rated Cable Support

The QFGFC40 is fire rated for 120 minutes, providing a dependable solution where fire-resistant cable retention is required.

Fire-safe cable supports are designed to help prevent wiring systems from collapsing prematurely during a fire.

This is particularly important in locations where unsupported or fallen cabling could create an obstruction or additional hazard for building occupants or emergency services.

The QFGFC40 provides metallic cable support designed specifically for this purpose.

PH120 Fire Performance

Current Unicrimp conformity documentation identifies the QFGFC40 as a 120-minute fire-safe cable clip and references BS EN 50200:2006 PH120.

The manufacturer's documentation also references BS 8434-2:2003 and BS 5839-1:2013 in relation to its tested fire performance.

This makes the QFGFC40 a suitable choice where a properly specified fire-safe cable-support system is required.

Designed for 32–40mm Trunking

The QFGFC40 is the intermediate size within Unicrimp's Q-Fire trunking clip range.

It is designed for 32–40mm trunking, with the product commonly identified as the 40mm Fire-Safe Cable Clip.

This makes it particularly useful for installations using larger mini-trunking and compatible cable-containment systems.

Annealed Steel Construction

Unlike conventional plastic cable clips, the QFGFC40 is manufactured from annealed steel.

Metal construction provides the high-temperature performance required from a fire-safe cable-support product.

It ensures that cable retention does not depend solely on plastic components that may soften or fail when exposed to fire.

Non-Corrosive Finish

The steel clip incorporates a non-corrosive finish, supporting dependable long-term performance in suitable installation environments.

This combination of metallic construction and corrosion resistance makes the QFGFC40 particularly well suited to professional cable-management applications.

Easy-Fold Tabs

The QFGFC40 incorporates easy-fold retaining tabs.

Once the cables are positioned within the clip, the tabs can be folded over to provide secure retention.

This straightforward arrangement helps electricians achieve neat and effective cable support without introducing an unnecessarily complicated installation process.

Helps Prevent Premature Cable Collapse

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

Where wiring is supported solely by conventional plastic containment or plastic fixings, exposure to high temperatures can result in those components failing.

The QFGFC40 introduces a metallic retention point designed to continue supporting the cables under fire conditions for its specified performance period.

Suitable for PVC Trunking

The QFGFC40 can be installed as part of an appropriate PVC trunking system.

The metallic clip provides independent fire-safe cable retention inside the containment, helping ensure that the cables are not dependent solely upon the PVC trunking for their mechanical support under fire conditions.

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

Suitable for Surface Mounting

In addition to installation within compatible trunking, the QFGFC40 can also be used for suitable surface-mounted cable support.

This provides additional flexibility when routing cables across walls, ceilings and other appropriate building surfaces.

The fixing method and substrate should always be appropriate for the required installation and fire performance.

Suitable for Ceiling Voids

The QFGFC40 is also suitable for use in ceiling voids.

Fire-safe cable retention can be particularly important above suspended ceilings, where large quantities of electrical and communications cabling may be present.

Correctly installed metallic supports can help prevent unsupported cables from falling if other elements of the cable-management system are compromised during a fire.

Pre-Drilled Fixing Point

The clip incorporates a pre-drilled fixing hole in its base, allowing it to be mechanically secured to an appropriate substrate.

A suitable fire-resistant fixing should be selected according to the substrate and overall installation requirements.

The cable-support system is only as effective as the method used to secure it, so the clip and its fixing should be considered together when designing the installation.

Designed for Professional Electrical Installation

The QFGFC40 is particularly useful for electricians carrying out new-build, refurbishment and maintenance projects.

Its simple construction allows fire-safe cable retention to be incorporated without making routine cable installation unnecessarily complex.

Once installed, the fold-over design keeps cables organised and supported within the containment system.

Suitable for Commercial Buildings

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

The QFGFC40 can be incorporated into appropriate trunking and surface-mounted installations to provide metallic cable support where required.

Typical applications can include:

• Offices
• Shops
• Restaurants
• Hotels
• Warehouses
• Commercial Units
• Service Areas
• Plant Areas

Suitable for Public Buildings

Fire-safe cable support is particularly relevant in buildings with substantial numbers of occupants.

The Q-Fire range can be used as part of appropriately designed electrical installations across:

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

Correct cable-support requirements should always be determined according to the installation design and applicable regulations.

Suitable for Residential Developments

The QFGFC40 can also be used in appropriate residential and multi-occupancy electrical installations.

Potential applications include communal corridors, stairwells, service cupboards, electrical risers and other locations where cables require dependable metallic support.

Part of the Unicrimp Q-Fire Range

The QFGFC40 forms part of Unicrimp's wider Q-Fire fire-resistant cable accessory range.

The range includes cable clips, cable cleats, cable ties, fixing products and other accessories designed to help prevent premature cable collapse.

This allows installers to select compatible fire-safe cable-support products for different cable-management requirements across the same project.

Available in Multiple Sizes

The Q-Fire fire-safe trunking clip range includes several sizes:

• QFGFC25 – 25mm Fire-Safe Cable Clip
• QFGFC40 – 40mm Fire-Safe Cable Clip
• QFGFC50 – 50mm Fire-Safe Cable Clip

This allows installers to select the appropriate clip according to the trunking size being used.
