Nvent 123812M Conduit to Z Purlin Clip 1/2 to 3/4 Inch Emt

Product Description

The NVENT 123812M is a conduit-to-Z-purlin clip designed to secure EMT conduit to Z-shaped steel purlins commonly found in metal building construction. It accommodates 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch EMT, with an OD range of 0.709 inches to 1.181 inches and a flange thickness range of 0.06 inches to 0.1 inches. This clip provides a fast, tool-minimal attachment point where conduit runs need to be anchored directly to structural steel framing members. Electricians working on commercial or industrial metal building projects will find this clip suited for overhead and wall-mounted conduit routing applications.

This clip is used in commercial and industrial electrical installations where EMT conduit must be fastened to Z-purlin framing, a structural profile common in pre-engineered metal buildings and steel stud framing systems. Typical scenarios include electrical rough-in on metal building shells, warehouse interiors, and steel-framed commercial spaces where conduit is run along structural steel members rather than wood framing. The clip eliminates the need for threaded rod or additional hardware to make the conduit-to-purlin connection.

Key Features

• Fits 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch EMT conduit sizes
• Compatible with OD range of 0.709 inches to 1.181 inches
• Designed for Z-purlin flanges from 0.06 inches to 0.1 inches thick
• Allows direct conduit attachment to Z-shaped structural steel purlins
• Reduces installation hardware and speeds up conduit routing on metal framing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch EMT conduit on Z-purlin steel framing members with flange thicknesses between 0.06 inches and 0.1 inches, typical of commercial and industrial metal building construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC requirements for conduit support spacing and securing methods. Ensure the purlin flange thickness falls within the 0.06 inch to 0.1 inch range before installing the clip. Verify conduit OD is within the 0.709 inch to 1.181 inch supported range prior to fastening. No power shutdown is required for clip attachment alone, but all conduit wiring work must be performed with the circuit de-energized.
