Southwire 126 Rigid 2-hole Strap Steel 1 Inch

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 126 is a rigid 2-hole strap designed to secure 1-inch rigid metal conduit to structural surfaces in electrical installations. Fabricated from bright zinc electroplated steel, this strap provides reliable mechanical support and corrosion resistance in standard indoor and light commercial environments. It is a staple fastener for licensed electricians running EMT or rigid conduit through walls, ceilings, joists, and steel framing. The 2-hole design distributes load across two fastener points, reducing the risk of conduit movement under vibration or thermal expansion. Lightweight at approximately 0.0428 pounds, it installs quickly and is suited for high-volume conduit runs.

This strap is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever 1-inch rigid conduit requires surface mounting. Electricians reach for 2-hole straps when code requires secure, two-point conduit attachment at specified intervals along a run. The 126 is appropriate for use on wood framing, concrete, masonry, and steel substrates when paired with appropriate fasteners for each surface type.

Key Features

• Sized for 1-inch rigid conduit — matches standard trade-size conduit OD for a secure, snug fit
• Bright zinc electroplated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for standard indoor applications
• 2-hole mounting pattern distributes load and meets NEC requirements for conduit support intervals
• Low profile design minimizes clearance requirements against mounting surfaces
• Lightweight construction at approximately 0.0428 pounds supports efficient high-volume installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard hardware fitting for 1-inch rigid metal conduit and intermediate metal conduit (IMC) installations in residential and commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 344 requirements for rigid metal conduit support and securing. De-energize all circuits in the work area before securing conduit runs. Use fasteners rated for the specific substrate — concrete anchors for masonry, wood screws for framing, or self-drilling screws for steel members. Do not overtighten fasteners, as deforming the strap can compromise conduit alignment and support integrity.
