7 How HellermannTyton Does "Game-Changing" Challenging the way things have always been done – it's a way of life at HellermannTyton. Before developing our revolutionary Ratchet P-Clamp, we surveyed over 700 solar installers and engineers to dig deep into every installation concern. The results defined a complex challenge; deliver a more robust part that: • integrates with different structures • is more universal • offers more flexibility • requires less maintenance • maintains the safety of wiring Our response: The Ratchet P-Clamp, an adjustable, releasable solution perfect for larger cable bundles and home runs, all the way down to module lead wires and microinverter trunk cables. The Ratchet P-Clamp can be mounted with a bolt or self-tapping screw to almost any structure, reducing the number of attachment points, and securing cables quickly and effectively. We Improved It Because We Could Nobody asked us to improve our nylon Solar E-clip. But when our product development team sees an opportunity, they act. In this case, they upgraded the nylon material blend. The insertion force remains easy, and the extraction force is vastly improved. In tests, this edge clip maintains its shape and integrity 25 to 30 percent longer than the previous product when exposed to heat and UV light. Tomorrow always brings the prospect of making a new solution or improving a classic. We never stop working to deliver the best. Small Difference, Major Results These illustrations show how some solar edge clips have small push points that cause thumb pain with repeated use. Installers inspired the design of HellermannTyton's Low Profile Edge Clip. Installing hundreds of thousands of them on the average solar farm, efficiency and quality go up, saving hundreds of hours in labor and strain-related downtime. And thanks to remarkable engineering, ours also offers the lowest insertion force and highest extraction resistance in the industry.
