Medium Duty Wraparound Clamps
Medium-Heavy Conduit Mounting for Industrial Wiring and Equipment Installations
The FLEXA® SKM series wraparound clamps (P-Clamps) provide medium-heavy duty conduit mounting for industrial wiring and equipment installations.
These clamps feature a galvanized steel band with a protective rubber lining that wraps around the conduit and secures it to a mounting surface with a single fastening point. The rubber lining cushions the conduit surface while helping reduce vibration and mechanical wear.
Wraparound clamps are commonly used where stronger retention than conduit clips is required, but where the structural mounting strength of heavy-duty conduit clamps is not needed.
For lighter installations requiring quick conduit installation and removal, see our Light & Medium Duty Conduit Clips and Caps. For applications requiring maximum retention or multi-conduit trunking systems, see our Heavy Duty Conduit Clamps.
FLEXAquick® quick-connect fittings and ROHRflex® flexible corrugated conduits are flagship product lines from IBIS Electro-Products Corp., specializing in high-performance electrical conduit systems for industrial automation, AI infrastructure, wind turbine nacelle wiring, and public transit vehicle applications.
How Wraparound Conduit Clamps Work
Wraparound clamps secure conduit by surrounding the conduit body with a flexible metal band that fastens to a mounting surface using a single bolt or screw.
The rubber lining inside the clamp cushions the conduit surface while helping reduce vibration and abrasion.
This design provides stronger conduit retention than clips while still allowing relatively quick installation and removal when maintenance access is required.
Choosing the Right Conduit Mounting Solution
| Product | Retention Level | Mounting Style | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| RQH | Light | Clip | Machine wiring |
| RQH + RQHD | Light-Enhanced | Clip + cap | Added retention |
| RQS | Medium | Hinged clip | Robot and cobot, machine wiring |
| P-Clamps | Medium-Heavy | Wraparound clamp | Equipment and factory conduit routing |
| RQM Series | Heavy | Bolt-mounted clamp | Railway and wire trunking installations |
Typical Applications
Wraparound conduit clamps are commonly used in installations requiring moderate mechanical retention and flexible mounting options, including:
• Machine automation and equipment wiring
• Robot and cobot wiring installations
• Industrial automation systems
• Infrastructure conduit routing
• Electrical equipment panels
• Equipment frames and structural supports
Frequently Asked Questions About Wraparound Conduit Clamps
When should P-Clamps be used instead of conduit clips?
P-Clamps provide stronger mechanical retention than conduit clips and are typically used where conduit installations are not expected to be frequently adjusted or reconfigured, such as fixed equipment frames, structural supports, or infrastructure installations.
For machine wiring and equipment installations where clean conduit routing, accessibility, and a finished professional appearance are important, FLEXAquick® conduit clips are often the preferred solution. These clips allow conduits to be easily opened, removed, and reinstalled during maintenance or system modifications while providing a more organized and integrated routing appearance.
When should heavy-duty conduit clamps be used instead of P-Clamps?
Heavy-duty conduit clamps are recommended for installations requiring structural conduit mounting, multi-conduit trunking systems, or high vibration environments.
Do P-Clamps protect conduit surfaces?
Yes. FLEXA® SKM clamps include a rubber lining that cushions the conduit and helps reduce abrasion, vibration transfer, and mechanical wear.
Are wraparound clamps compatible with corrugated conduit?
Yes. P-Clamps are commonly used with corrugated conduit systems where flexible conduit routing and moderate retention strength are required.
