Britclips fixings provide secure, practical and cost effective solutions to services management. The Britclips product range has been designed to cover virtually any service and cable fixing requirement.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS AND CUSTOM DESIGN
Britclips fixings are extremely versatile, and in many cases, standard products, or combinations of standard products, can be used to meet special 'one-off' requirements. In addition, a bespoke service is available through which fixings can be designed and manufactured to order. Further details.

MATERIAL FINISHES
Unless noted otherwise, Britclips fixings are protected by DELTATONE 500 silver plating. Deltatone is a zinc rich finish which incorporates a duplex organic resin coating, providing an excellent barrier to moisture and heat. Britclips fixings are coated to a thickness of 10-12 microns to BS 7371 Parts 1, 2 and 11: 1981. Deltatone has a salt spray resistance of 480 hours tested to ASTM B 117 and DIN 50021. In addition, plated parts will resist temperatures up to 300°C without damage to the steel base. Deltatone is resistant to atmospheric corrosion and many mild solvents - eg, petrol.
Where applicable, other plated finishes are shown in tabulated product data. They are denoted by the following abbreviations:

MG Mechanical Galvanising to a thickness of 25-35 microns
BZP Bright Zinc Plate to BS 3382: Part 1/2: 1961
ZINC Zinc coat, grade G275N
EZP Electro Zinc Plate to BS 1706: 1990, Class C
SC Self Colour
G Galvanised steel strip to BS EN 10147
SS Stainless Steel

LOADING
The load ratings of Britclips fixings are expressed in kilograms as either STATIC LOAD LIMIT (S.Load) or ULTIMATE STATIC LOAD LIMIT (US.Load). The values given in the product data indicate maximum allowable installed loads.
STATIC LOAD LIMIT is a rated stationery load limit for a fixing, where substantial safety margins exist (usually 3:1).
ULTIMATE STATIC LOAD LIMIT is the rated stationery load limit which, if exceeded, may cause failure of the fixing.
All values quoted are for loads applied vertically to the normal fixing installation, except where shown otherwise (eg, in the case of swivel fixings.)
When the load rating of a Britclips fixing is greater than that of the structural member to which it is attached, the lower rating must be taken as the load limit for the fixing.
Britclips fixings are tested through an independent agency, namely the Oxford Brookes University School of Engineering.

Misapplication
Britclips fixings are intended for use as detailed in this website and the Britclips catalogue, and no liability is assumed for misapplication of any fixing.

Misapplication includes any or all of the following:
•
 Use beyond load limits specified
•
 Installation in an unapproved manner*
•
 Use in other than mildly corrosive atmosphere
*
 Where threaded rods or bolts are used in conjunction with Britclips fixings, it is important that:
 

• They are made of steel.

 
• Their thread form meets BS 3643: 1981 or corresponding international standards.
*
 Note: Normal applications entail fixing to horizontal or vertical steelwork, timber or masonry (depending on fastener type) and applying static loads vertically to the Britclips installation.
The Company policy is one of continuous development, and we reserve the right to alter or amend specifications, as necessary, without notice.

This website is designed to provide only preliminary information on the products and services provided by Emlux Holdings Limited and is not a contract.
