Description
The Unicrimp QARB12W is a crucial component for modern electrical installations, specifically designed to meet BS7671 18th Edition regulations while maintaining a high aesthetic standard. This white 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 & Internal Application
Part of the specialized Q-Fire range, the QARB12W offers extreme flexibility for on-site installers in domestic and commercial internal environments:
-
LSF Powder Coating in White: The mild steel band is finished with a clean, low smoke and fume (LSF) white powder coating. This provides a fire-resistant fixing point while perfectly matching standard white internal conduit and trunking, ensuring a professional, seamless look.
-
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 fire-rated 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.
-
Aesthetic Integration: The distinctive white finish is ideal for internal installations where the banding remains visible, blending with white-painted walls or matching white electrical trunking for a tidy appearance.
