For contractors looking for a compact and versatile way to suspend building services, Zip-Strut is now available from Gomac. This newly released, pre-engineered strut system provides a practical solution for supporting cable containment, pipework and multiple building services from a single bearer.

Designed for modern construction environments, Zip-Strut combines a compact strut profile with Zip-Clip wire rope suspension technology. As a result, installers can create an organised support system while maintaining precise control over the height and level of the services being suspended.

What is the Zip-Strut system?

Zip-Strut is a pre-engineered support system manufactured from DX51 steel with a pre-galvanised Zintek finish. It is designed to work with different types of containment and can support multiple services on one bearer.

The system is supplied in four pre-cut lengths:

• 260mm
• 400mm
• 600mm
• 800mm

Each Zip-Strut bearer is supplied with Strut-Lock devices and end caps pre-assembled. Therefore, contractors receive a prepared system that can be incorporated into the required wire rope suspension arrangement.

Zip-Strut is also compatible with the wider Strut-Lock range, giving installers flexibility when designing single or multi-tier service supports.

Precise height adjustment

One of the main benefits of Zip-Strut is its fine height adjustment. Installers can reposition the Strut-Lock device along the wire rope before securing it in place. This makes it easier to achieve accurate drop lengths and level containment across an installation.

The adjustment process is straightforward. Once the load has been fully supported, the locking collar can be released, allowing the device to be repositioned on the wire. The collar is then secured again when the bearer reaches the required height.

This adjustability is especially useful where accurate alignment is important or where site conditions require changes during installation.

Ideal for restricted ceiling voids

Space above ceilings is often limited, particularly when electrical containment, pipework and other mechanical services must share the same area. Zip-Strut’s compact design makes it particularly suitable for applications with low or restricted void spaces.

Because several services can be supported from one bearer, Zip-Strut can also help create a cleaner and better-organised services layout. Consequently, it offers contractors a practical alternative when available installation space is at a premium.

Full material traceability

The Zip-Strut range provides full material traceability, helping contractors meet project documentation and product verification requirements. The standard pre-galvanised system is intended for indoor use in suitable, non-corrosive environments.

For outdoor, coastal or other potentially corrosive locations, a suitable stainless-steel solution should be specified instead. Zip-Strut is designed for static loads only and must always be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s safe working load and installation guidance.
