Toggles For Caddy® Speed Link LD Make Lighting and Overhead Decking Installation Easier
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - SOLON, Ohio, USA January 2006 - A new universal toggle and Y-toggle for CADDY® SPEED LINK LD makes lighting and overhead decking installation even easier. For overhead decking applications, a universal toggle/wire rope assembly is now available in 2 m (6.6 ft), 5 m (16.4 ft) and 10 m (32.8 ft) lengths. The part is identical to standard CADDY SPEED LINK LD, except the hook is replaced with a toggle. An optional Y-toggle easily hangs lights. It consists of a 500 mm (20 in.) or 800 mm (31 in.) length of wire rope with a toggle on each end. The center of the wire rope is looped and crimped. It is ideal as a support or safety wire for lighting fixtures. It works with a variety of CADDY® Fasteners including beam clamps and purlin clips or can be looped directly around the beam.
CADDY® SPEED LINK LD is a universal support system that quickly suspends static loads, even at an angle. It is a cost-effective alternative to jack chain, threaded rod and wire in lighting and other installation projects.
This versatile support system hangs lighting fixtures, speakers, alarm sensors, signage and pipes, among other things. A convenient plastic sleeve keeps the wire rope looped up until the contractor is ready to install. An optional extension tool allows CADDY SPEED LINK LD to be installed from the ground. The 1.5 mm (0.059 in.) wire rope with a crimped-on hook holds working loads of up to 20 kg (44 lb) with a 5:1 safety factor.
A small, aesthetically pleasing locking device completes the assembly. This low-profile stainless-steel device ensures stability and allows for additional vertical adjustment after wire insertion. A small screwdriver releases the lock for fast installation adjustments.
The wire rope/hook assembly is made from galvanized steel as standard, but is also available in stainless steel for applications where a higher level of corrosion resistance is required. The system installs without drilling or tools and allows objects to be hung at an angle - e.g., from sloped ceilings.
