Description
The Unicrimp QARB12B is a critical component for modern electrical installations, specifically designed to meet BS7671 18th Edition regulations regarding the support of wiring systems. This black all-round banding ensures that cables and conduits remain securely fixed to the building fabric, preventing “premature collapse” in the event of a fire—a vital safety feature for protecting both occupants and emergency responders.
Professional Build & Versatility
Part of the specialized Q-Fire range, the QARB12B offers extreme flexibility for on-site installers.
-
LSF Powder Coating: The mild steel band is finished with a Black Low Smoke and Fume (LSF) coating. This not only provides excellent corrosion resistance but also ensures that no toxic gases or heavy smoke are released if exposed to high heat.
-
Pre-Punched 5mm Holes: Featuring a consistent Ø5mm hole pattern at 15mm centers, this banding allows for quick and precise fixing using standard nails, screws, bolts, or cable ties without the need for on-site drilling.
-
Easy to Manipulate: Despite its 50kg (500N) working load, the 0.8mm thick steel is highly pliable.
-
Discreet Installation: The professional matte black finish is ideal for installations where the banding remains visible, blending seamlessly with black flexible conduit or matching interior steelwork.
