Re: [RE-wrenches] wire clips for Sunmodo rail

2020-09-07 Thread Kent Osterberg 

Kirk,

I think you'll probably have to use a stainless cable tie going all the 
way around the rail. The hanger clips you inquired about would probably 
be a poor choice on the sloped rails anyway. Another possibility, 
admittedly most costly and labor intensive, is to use something similar 
to these vinyl cushioned cable clamps 
 that could be held 
with 3/4" tee bolts. I believe that the tee bolts are Sunmodo part 
B20015-004, it's not a catalog item but you can order them.

For the HR150 rail, Sunmodo has a channel clip, part A20252-001 or 
A20252-BK1 (black), that will hold the wires in the channel on the 
side of the rail. I don't see it in their recent catalog, but I have 
purchased them recently.


For the heavier rails, which are probably being used on the ground 
mount, there is a cable clip designed to attach to the 3/8" bolt 
slot, part A20162-001, unfortunately it was sized for the older 
Enphase cable and isn't much use for anything else.

Looked at Heyco and Hellermantyton lines but no luck. Any ideas?

A20252-BK1 (black), that will hold the wires in the channel on the side 
of the rail. I don't see it in their recent catalog, but I have
