CWI is a fully integrated manufacturer: drawing wire, stranding cable, extruding jacketing material and providing custom products, configurations and processes when you require them.

Seismic bracing products can be categorised in two distinctive types: Rigid Braces and Steel Wire Rope Braces. A single rigid brace can work under tension or compression loading and they are very popular with fire fighting and sprinkler installers. Having said that steel wire ropes offer cost effective solution even though they can only resist tension loads and two braces are required at single restraint point. Where vibration isolation is of a concern rigid bracing can not be used and the only alternative is steel wire ropes. They are quick to install and offer great flexibility. Seismic bracing is most commonly used in protecting suspended MEP services (ducts, pipes, cable trays…) and equipment (fans, AHU, FCU…).

nVent CADDY cable bracing is a simple seismic bracing method for mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP) and fire sprinkler systems, including CPVC pipe systems. Cable bracing is the only option when brace lengths exceed the brace length limitation of 9"-7" (3 m) for strut or when confined/crowded spaces make rigid systems difficult to install. The system includes steel cables complying with the ASCE® 19 pre-streching requirements, attachment fittings, swaged oval sleeves & related tools, as well as pre-assembled kits.

Look to Enidine for high performance Wire Rope Isolators and Compact Wire Rope Isolators. The wire rope isolators have stainless steel cable and RoHS compliant aluminum retaining bars, which provides excellent vibration isolation. The isolators are corrosion resistant, which makes them environmentally stable and high-performance in a variety of applications. The isolators are completely unaffected by oil, chemicals, abrasives, ozone, and temperature extremes.

The compact wire rope isolator is smaller than a traditional wire rope and can absorb shock and vibration in small spaces. Single point mounting offers flexibility for integration into existing products.

Both compact wire rope isolators and wire rope isolators can be used on galley components where motors and fans produce vibrations onto surrounding structures. They can also be used to control vibration and thermal expansion.

The restoring force of wire rope springs is generated by the wire ropes deformation that, at the same time, dissipates energy due to the friction forces arising between its wires during the deformation of the rope. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a light structure isolated by means of isolators, constituted by wire rope springs and a ball transfer unit, is investigated; the adopted structure simulates objects sensitive to seismic accelerations, like works of arts or cabinets containing…Expand

Wire rope isolators comprise helical steel cables threaded through high-strength retaining bars. These cable isolators deliver superior shock and vibration protection for sensitive equipment and products. With their durable construction, corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance, these isolation solutions are ideal for many applications across a broad industry range.

Gripple is the number one market leader in the world for wire rope hanging systems used for supporting MEP services. In India more than 2500 projects have been completed which include a range of Airports, schools, hospitals, office building, retail stores and factories. I am pleased to enclose the following information in support of our submittal.

Gripple® Seismic Cable Bracing Systems are specifcally designed and engineered to brace and secure suspended nonstructural equipment (VAV boxes, fans, unit heaters, small in-line pumps, etc.) and components (HVAC duct, conduit/cable tray, and piping) within a building or structure to minimize damage from an earthquake or seismic event.

Gripple® Seismic Bracing systems are ideal for use on nonstructural components and equipment requiring seismic design, such as in essential facilities that are required for emergency operations in the aftermath of an earthquake.

Loos is listed with the US Government as a QPD (Qualified Producers Database) manufacturer of terminations, connectors and fittings for wire ropes and cables from 1/16″ to 1″ in diameter.

We also manufacture and stock a complete inventory of wire rope and cable hardware accessories, including swaging tools, swaging machines and swaging dies. Additionally, our Cableware Division is the exclusive United States importer of FELCO® brand cable cutters from Switzerland, the most trusted cable cutters in the business.
