Thomas Betts 1280 Pipe Conduit Strap 1.5 in Steel Galvanized

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS 1280 is a single-hole pipe and conduit strap designed to secure 1.5-inch pipe or conduit to structural surfaces. Constructed from steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, it provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor installations. The strap uses a 0.375-inch bolt and features one mounting hole for straightforward fastening to wood, concrete, or steel substrates. Licensed electricians and plumbers rely on this type of hardware during rough-in work to keep conduit and piping runs properly supported and aligned with code-required spacing intervals.

This strap is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where 1.5-inch pipe or conduit requires periodic support along a run. Common installation scenarios include securing EMT, rigid metal conduit, or plumbing pipe to joists, studs, unistrut, or masonry. The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for damp or corrosive environments where a plain steel strap would degrade. It is sold and packaged as an individual unit.

Key Features

• Fits 1.5-inch pipe or conduit
• Steel construction with hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance
• Single mounting hole for direct attachment to supporting structure

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or plumber during rough-in or retrofit work. De-energize all circuits and shut off relevant fluid systems before working in proximity to existing wiring or piping. Fasten the strap securely using appropriate anchors for the substrate type, following NEC or IPC support-spacing requirements as applicable to the pipe or conduit type being secured. Do not overtighten the mounting fastener in a way that distorts the strap body or deforms the conduit or pipe wall.
