The product
Plio GT50 NL natur from Ses-Sterling is a expansion rivet, specifically developed for quick and secure mounting of wiring ducts from the Plio-GT50 series. The expansion rivets are made of PA12, a thermoplastic polymer known for its high strength, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. The natural colour corresponds to a neutral, light grey tone that integrates well visually into technical installations. The expansion rivets are halogen-free and RoHS-compliant, enabling their use in systems with high requirements for environmental compatibility and avoidance of hazardous substances.
Applications
Expansion rivets are primarily intended for mounting wiring ducts in the field of electrical and IT installations. They are particularly suitable for applications requiring quick, tool-free fastening, for example during installation in concrete, plasterboard, or other suitable substrates. Use in industrial electrical installations, building management, or IT infrastructure is typical, where reliable and durable fastening of cable management systems is required.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The expansion rivets allow for simple and efficient installation, as they can be inserted into the substrate without additional tools or drilling. The use of PA12 ensures high mechanical load capacity and longevity, even under moisture or temperature fluctuation. The halogen-free composition reduces the formation of toxic smoke gases in case of fire, increasing safety in enclosed spaces. RoHS compliance guarantees that none of the six hazardous substances (such as lead, cadmium, mercury) were used in production.
Technology Explained Simply
PA12, the material of the expansion rivets, is a high-quality plastic characterised by low density, high toughness, and good sliding properties. The expansion rivets are inserted into the substrate material via a special mounting process, during which the ends of the rivet expand to create a secure anchoring. The weight specification of 0.36 g per piece indicates the low mass of the individual component, facilitating handling. The packaging contains 100 pieces, sufficient for larger mounting projects.
Compatibility and Accessories
The expansion rivets are specifically designed for wiring ducts from the Plio-GT50 series. Compatible accessories available in the range include the GO2 mounting tool for expansion rivets Plio-GT50 + 62, which simplifies and accelerates the mounting process. The tool is designed for precise and secure insertion of expansion rivets into the substrate and reduces the risk of damage or inaccurate fastening.
Mounting and Installation
Installation is performed by inserting the expansion rivet into a pre-drilled hole in the substrate and then expanding it, either manually or using the GO2 mounting tool. The fastening is immediately load-bearing and allows for rapid continuation of the installation. Expansion rivets are not intended for use in soft or porous materials such as wood or styrofoam, as the required holding strength cannot be guaranteed there.
Advantages in Operation
The use of expansion rivets provides a fast and reliable fastening solution that reduces mounting time and improves work quality. The PA12 material ensures long service life and resistance to environmental influences. Compliance with RoHS and halogen-free composition meet modern safety and environmental standards, promoting acceptance in professional installations. The packaging with 100 pieces offers an economical solution for larger projects.
