Case studies

How can we simplify electrical first fix?

Electrical first fix is the stage of an installation where cables, containment systems and accessories are installed before walls and ceilings are closed up. It typically includes routing and securing cables, installing cable tray, basket or conduit systems, and fitting back boxes ready for second-fix accessories such as sockets, switches and data outlets.

The process often presents a range of practical challenges. Cables and containment must be securely supported from structural elements such as beams and purlins without compromising the building fabric, while cable trays and baskets need to be installed level, aligned and capable of carrying the required loads. Within stud walls, back boxes must be accurately positioned and securely fixed to ensure a professional finish and trouble-free second fix.

Walraven solutions include Britclips® spring-steel fixings for cable management, the RSWB adjustable bracket (metal noggin) for fast back-box fixing, the starQuick® clamp system for conduit clipping and Walraven RapidRail system for supporting cable tray.

Choosing fixings by substrate

Selecting the correct family of products begins with the structural element you are fixing your installations to. Then confirm the supported service and connection method. Here are some of our Britclips® products grouped by the substrate they can be fixed to.

Structural steel: beam clips & clamps

Fix directly to a beam flange without welding or drilling. Choose from standalone clips or combinations prepared for cable ties, conduit, threaded rod and light-duty cable tray support

Roof purlins: profile specific hangers

Support services from vertical, Z-shaped, angled or 90-degree purlin profiles. Options are available for threaded rod, chain, hooks and direct service fixing.

Decking: hangers dovetail fixings

Use wedge nuts or deck hangers where threaded rod suspension is required, or dovetail cable fixings for quick cable and conduit runs. Always match the fixing to the exact deck profile.

Electrical first fix applications 

Mount electrical boxes

The Walraven RSWB (Rapid Sliding Wall Bracket) is an extendable pre-galvanised steel support for fast-fitting of electrical boxes and conduit between wood or metal studs. The adjustable metal bracket eliminates the need to cut and fit traditional wooden noggins, saving valuable on-site installation time.

Available in two adjustable lengths
Multiple mounting depths
Can fit to wood or metal framing

Secure conduit

If you need to secure conduit to structural elements such as beams or purlins, the Britclips® range includes a wide selection of beam and purlin clips with conduit clip attachments. For clipping conduit in stud walls or on other surfaces, the Walraven starQuick® plastic clip offers quick and easy fixing.

Support cable containment

Cable containment systems are typically suspended from the structure using threaded rod, brackets or trapeze supports. Walraven options include Britclips® beam clips with threaded rod hanger combinations, or the Britclips® Utility Clip Light Duty Cable Tray Bracket. For trapeze frame support we recommend Walraven RapidRail® Light-duty Channel system for strong support.
