General Introduction

PANDUIT adhesive mounts provide a quick, economical and dependable method of supporting, routing and

protecting wires or cables. Some are used with

PANDUIT cable ties and others used independently. Adhesive

backed mounts adhere to a variety of surfaces. This alternative to mechanical fasteners offers the advantage of

lower installed cost with safe, easy to use, quality products.

Applications

•

To route wires in control panels and switchboards

•

To support bundles of wires away from moving mechanical devices

•

Routing and harnessing cables, both indoors and out, to prevent safety hazards

•

To organize flat cables in many locations with low profile construction

•

Ideal for supporting wire bundles where holes cannot be put into the substrate

•

To separate groups of wires for identification

General Mount Guidelines

A.

PANDUIT pressure sensitive adhesive (foam tape) mounts are

intended to secure wire bundles or other light objects to smooth

surfaces. These mounts are not designed to support excessive

loads and should not be used when the maximum expected load

exceeds the rated capacity of the mount.

Two types of double-coated polymeric foam adhesive tape are

available. Rubber based type, the most widely used and generally

recommended; and acrylic based type, the better choice for

outdoor and higher temperature applications.

B. Latching wire clips hold wire, cable

and tubing and are available in 6

sizes, with a releasable latch.

Mounting styles include adhesive

backed and bush barb types.

C.

PANDUIT epoxy adhesive mounts are

supplied for use on rough surfaces

indoors or outdoors and require

mixing a two-part Panduit-supplied

epoxy adhesive before application.
