The OBO Bettermann Haft-Clip type 4043 is a fastening element made of polyethylene (PP) in light grey colour (RAL 7035), specifically developed for the secure fastening of cables and lines in the field of electrical and IT installation. The product is supplied without steel nails and is designed to be clipped directly onto the line, suitable for cables with a diameter of 17 to 21 mm. The construction enables quick and tool-free installation, making it particularly suitable for applications where flexible and time-efficient cable routing is required.

Applications

The Haft-Clip type 4043 is primarily used in the field of electrical installation, especially for fastening cables to walls, ceilings or other substrates. It is intended for indoor use, where stable and durable fastening of lines is required. Cable diameters of 17 to 21 mm cover a wide range of standard cable types, such as multi-core cables or medium-sized data cables.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The clip is made of polyethylene, a robust and durable plastic that is resistant to mechanical stress and environmental influences such as moisture or temperature fluctuations. The light grey colour (RAL 7035) ensures discreet integration into the installation without impairing the visual perception of the lines. The design of the clip allows for secure clamping onto the line, with the shape ensuring even distribution of the fastening force.

Technology Explained Simply

The operation of the Haft-Clip is based on a combination of mechanical clamping and fastening with a nail. The cable is inserted into the clip, which is then placed on the substrate. The steel nail (2 mm) is passed through the hole in the clip and the substrate, and then hammered in, securing the clip and cable firmly to the substrate. The use of polyethylene ensures high flexibility and shape stability, so the clip does not fail even with slight movement of the line. The material choice also provides good insulation, which is important for electrical installations.

Compatibility and Accessories

The Haft-Clip type 4043 is specifically designed for steel nails with a diameter of 2 mm. Compatibility with cables in the diameter range of 17 to 21 mm makes the clip universally applicable for many standard cable types in electrical and IT technology. Use with other nail sizes or cable diameters is not intended and may result in inadequate fastening.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is tool-free, requiring only a nail hammer to drive in the steel nail. The clip is slipped onto the cable and then placed at the desired position on the substrate. The nail is passed through the hole in the clip and the substrate, and then firmly hammered in. The fastening is immediately effective and does not require additional screwing or adhesive processes. Installation is quick and easy, reducing mounting time compared to other fastening methods.

Operational Advantages

The Haft-Clip provides a reliable and durable fastening solution for cables in indoor environments. Tool-free installation and quick processing increase efficiency during installation. The use of polyethylene ensures high mechanical stability and resistance to environmental influences. The light grey colour (RAL 7035) allows for discreet integration into the installation. The combination of clamping and nail fastening ensures a secure and stable anchoring that holds even with slight movement of the lines.
