Cable Cleats

Let Steve Walton (Chief Engineer) walk and talk you through the latest new product development by leading cable cleats manufacturer Ellis Patents – the established range of Vulcan+ cable cleats are available in a complete range of multiple sizes to suit trefoil, single, quad or bundled cables distributing electricity at LV (Low Voltage), MV (Medium Voltage) and HV (High Voltage).

The cable cleats provide a short circuit fault current protection level of 132kA when spaced at 300mm according to IEC61914 calculations.

Vulcan Cleats

The NEW Twist Foot Design from Ellis Patents provides reduced installation times and labour savings when installing cable cleats – traditionally the Vulcan cable cleat range required the additional inventory and purchase of fixing kits (cleat fasteners, washers and channel nuts) however with the new redesign the cable cleat is supplied pre-assembled for immediate site installation.

The increased speed of cable cleat installation is achieved by the integral Twist Foot base – just Fit, Twist & Tighten.

Twist Foot offerings come pre-loaded/ assembled with an isolation plate (integral barrier to mitigate bi-metallic corrosion issues) and cleat fixings to allow rapid installation of cable cleats in to standard channel (41×41 & 41×21).

No more dropped objects when installing Cable Cleats and Fixings in hazardous environments.

Stephen Walton, Ellis’ chief engineer, said: “Ellis Patents pride ourselves on having a market leading product range, and a global reputation as the number one cable cleat manufacturer, but we are not a company that will ever rest on its laurels. We are always looking at ways to enhance our current offering or add to it with innovative new solutions – and the twist-foot Vulcan+ is a perfect example of this approach.”

“We’ve taken an already extremely successful product and developed it in a manner that broadens its appeal; not just in terms of channel usage, but also by turning it into a truly quick-fit, easy to order cable cleat solution.”

The twist-foot fixing mechanism operates by simply placing the Vulcan+ cleat into the channel and twisting it 90 degrees. It is suitable for trefoil cables ranging in diameter from 19 to 58mm, and single cables between 30 and 104mm.
