Overview 

The FyreLine Quick Release T-Clip is a specialised mounting solution designed to optimise the performance, reliability, and maintainability of linear heat detection (LHD) systems. By ensuring the sensing cable is correctly positioned and supported, these clips play a vital role in fire detection accuracy and system longevity.

Enhanced Thermal Sensitivity

The sensitivity of any linear heat detection system can be compromised if the sensing cable is in direct physical contact with mounting surfaces, which can act as a heat sink. The T-Clip is engineered to maintain a consistent air gap around the cable, allowing for unobstructed airflow. This ensures that the cable can react to temperature changes with maximum efficiency and speed, meeting the intended design specifications of the detection system.

Simplified Installation and Maintenance

Featuring an innovative quick-release design, the T-Clip significantly reduces labour time during both initial setup and ongoing site management. The mechanism allows the sensing cable to be secured or detached in seconds. This is particularly beneficial during routine maintenance or localised repairs, as the cable can be removed and refitted quickly and easily without the need to remove the clip from the mounting surface.

Robust Mechanical Protection

Beyond its thermal benefits, the FyreLine T-Clip provides essential structural support. When fixed at regular intervals, it ensures the cable remains taut and fully supported, significantly mitigating the risk of mechanical damage or sagging over time.

Compatibility and Variations

The range is manufactured from high-quality nylon and is specifically intended for installations that require or prefer plastic fixings. It serves as a direct, high-performance alternative to the PR-001 clip.

To ensure a precise fit for different cable profiles, the clips are available in two specific sizes:

18-370 Nylon 4mm Quick Release T-Clip

Specifically designed for LHD cables with a diameter under 4mm. This model is compatible with:

  • FyreLine Digital: PVC, Messenger Wire, Nylon, Stainless Steel, and High Temperature
  • FyreLine Resettable: PVC and Stainless Steel
  • FyreLine Analogue: PVC and Stainless Steel
  • General Use: Standard 4mm round electrical cables and 4mm microbore tubing

18-373 Nylon 6mm Quick Release T-Clip

Engineered for larger cable requirements, providing a secure fit for 6mm diameter cables. This model is compatible with:

  • FyreLine EN54 Fixed: LSZH, LSZH with Messenger Wire, and LSZH Stainless Steel Braided
  • FyreLine Resettable: Nylon
  • FyreLine Analogue: Nylon, Polypropylene, and Nylon/SS
  • General Use: Standard 6mm round electrical cables and 6mm microbore tubing

Installation Note: The use of these clips and the spacing of fixings should be in accordance with regional fire safety regulations and specific system installation standards.
