Pipe Clamps & Conduit Hangers — Conversions Tech™ vs. Unistrut, Eaton B-Line, Hilti, Parker & Caddy
Explore UL-listed, 304-stainless and hot-dip-galvanized pipe clamps engineered by Conversions Tech™ for electrical, HVAC, and industrial fluid systems. The FAQ below highlights exactly where our clamps out-perform the big names on load rating, corrosion life, installation speed, and total cost of ownership.
What load ratings do Conversions Tech clamps carry?
1-½ in EMT size is rated 1 250 lb allowable static load, beating B-Line’s BC2000 (1 000 lb) and matching Hilti MP-LH 1½. Every CT certificate lists 4:1 safety factor per MSS SP-58.
Which finishes last longest in coastal or chemical plants?
CT offers hot-dip galvanized (HDG, 3 mils zinc), electro-galv (EG), and 304/316 stainless. HDG exceeds 1 500-hr ASTM-B117 salt-spray—Unistrut P-strap HDG averages 1 200 hr; Caddy SideBeam EG shows red rust at ~500 hr.
Do you stock vibration-dampening lined clamps?
Yes—our Dura-Grip series features UV-stable EPDM liners (-40 °C → +120 °C) that cut structure-borne noise 15–18 dB. Hilti lined clamps advertise 12 dB; Eaton PHD 552 series ~10 dB.
Are CT clamps UL or FM approved for fire sprinkler mains?
All 1 ¼ – 8 in sizes carry UL 203, FM 1950 listings for wet & dry systems up to 175 psi.
Time to install vs. traditional two-bolt strut straps?
Quick-Latch™ single-bolt design cuts install time 40 %—one 9/16 in socket vs. two opposite bolts on Unistrut P2246 strap.
What screw type is supplied?
5⁄16-18 grade-5 carriage bolt + flanged serrated nut (zinc-nickel). B-Line ships loose hex nut; Hilti supplies captive Torx bolt requiring proprietary bit.
Maximum conduit OD your largest clamp accepts?
16-in OD (DN400) process pipe. Hilti tops out at 12 in; B-Line TOLCO 301 lists 14 in.
Do stainless clamps include passivation?
Yes—post-fabrication nitric passivation ensures <0.2 µm free-iron layer for optimal chloride resistance.
Any low-temp charpy impact data?
HDG clamps exceed 20 ft-lb at -50 °C per ASTM A143, meeting arctic LNG spec. Powder-coat straps often crack below -20 °C.
Do CT clamps integrate grounding tangs?
Yes—pre-punched ¼-20 ground lugs on sizes ½ – 4 in for bonding EMT or IMC per NEC 250.96.
Can I order pre-assembled strut + clamp kits?
Sure—Smart-Kit™ arrives with 12-ga slotted strut, spring nuts & clamps torqued finger-tight, slashing ladder time on data-center builds.
Are rubber-lined clamps suitable for refrigeration copper?
EPDM liner passes ASTM D2000 & non-SBR (no sulfur bloom) so it won’t attack copper like neoprene can.
Torque spec on the clamp bolt?
20 ft-lb for ½–2 in, 40 ft-lb for 2½ – 6 in. Built-in anti-rotation nib keeps square neck from spinning.
Fire-rating for plenum installs?
Stainless and HDG listed ASTM E136 non-combustible; liners are 25/50 flame-spread/smoke per ASTM E84.
Do you provide BIM/CAD families?
.RFA and .DWG blocks in Revit 2025 and AutoCAD 2024 available free on product page—Hilti offers BIM but requires login.
Compatible with metric strut channels?
M8/M10 bolts available; shared throat width matches 41×41 mm DIN strut common in EU plants.
Any seismic-rated options?
Seis-Lock™ clamps come with OSHPD OPA-approved data for up to 2.50 g SDS, similar to Eaton TOLCO seismic barriers.
Lead-free compliance?
All coatings RoHS & REACH compliant (<0.1 % Pb).
Do you stock copper-coated clamps for grounding grids?
Yes—1⁄16-in copper flash with chromate seal for cathodic continuity.
Typical price vs. Unistrut strap?
1-in EMT HDG CT clamp: $1.29; Unistrut P-2246 HDG ≈ $1.85; Hilti MP-LH 25 HDG ≈ $2.10 (June 2025).
Pack quantities for distributors?
Cartons of 50 (½–2 in) or 25 (2½ – 6 in) with inner shrinks—UPC & GTIN labels for automated picking.
Same-day shipping cutoff?
Orders entered by 14:00 MST leave our Cheyenne, WY DC same business day.
Warranty period?
10-year corrosion and workmanship; HDG liner delamination covered 100 %.
TAA-compliant SKUs for federal projects?
Gov-Series stainless clamps are TAA/BAA compliant with certs in every case.
Bottom line—why choose Conversions Tech pipe clamps?
Higher load, thicker zinc, seismic & UL listings, faster one-bolt installs, BIM assets, 10-year warranty—and pricing that beats industry staples by up to 30 %.
