02-08-2004  Legrand clamps down on British standards
Legrand Electric, which, with its Tenby Rapid Clamp range was instrumental in the development of British Standard BS951, claims to be the top supplier of earth clamps in the UK, priding itself on the quality, reliability and safety of its products.

Specified by many of the country's biggest and most respected housebuilders, all products in Legrand's comprehensive range of Tenby Rapid Clamps are manufactured in metallic materials to ensure durability, tightness and long term security.

Of vital importance:

"The British Standards are of vital importance to contractors as specifying products that meet appropriate standards is a fundamental requirement of the IEE wiring regulations," said Legrand Electric's conformity and standards manager, Stephen Willmore.

"To say the Tenby Rapid Clamp is well established would be an understatement. It has been used successfully for over forty years and during that time has evolved to meet the changing requirements of the market," he continued. "It's safe to say that using the Tenby Rapid Clamp provides peace of mind."

Over recent years, the most notable product improvements have included the fixing of the earth clamp cable being rendered more secure by the inclusion of a retained rectangular washer instead of a round one, reducing the risk of cable movement during installation. The mandatory safety notice label being supplied in the installation position so there is no need for time-consuming removal from the fixing band and subsequent reassembly. Moreover, the introduction of bold colour coded stripes on the safety notice label allow for instant clamp type recognition.
