Thomas & Betts Introduces Halogen-Free Ty-Duct



MEMPHIS, Tenn. (March 19, 2008) - Thomas & Betts is adding a halogen-free offering to its popular line of Ty-Duct® wiring ducts, providing Ty-Duct customers with greater options for a broader range of installations. The new Halogen-Free Ty-Duct product line is ideal for high-temperature applications up to 95º C (203º F) or where specifications call for products that will not emit toxic or corrosive gases. These new Ty-Duct wiring ducts have an optimal UL94 Flammability Rating of V-0. Plus, they are 20 percent lighter than standard PVC materials.

The Halogen-Free Ty-Duct family is designed with the exact same form, fit, and installation as the standard Ty-Duct wiring duct introduced in 2007. A complete solution for routing and concealing wiring in control panels, Ty-Duct wiring duct also simplifies and lowers the cost of installation. Its smooth corners and edges prevent damage or disfigurement of wires, and its V-shaped slot lead-in allows for easier wire insertion. The Ty-Duct product's two-point contact design enables the cover to be easily installed with less force and remain in place - even under vibration.
