With the ability to restrain nonstructural components, including piping, duct, electrical cable trays, and other equipment, V.LOCK makes restraint of services faster, easier, and more cost-effective than alternatives on the market through extensive savings in field labor.
DUBLIN, Ohio, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Kinetics Noise Control Inc. (Kinetics), a Catalyst Acoustics Group company and manufacturer of the largest selection of noise control products and solutions, is proud to announce the official launch of V.LOCK, a highly effective seismic cable restraint connector. With the ability to restrain nonstructural components, including piping, duct, electrical cable trays, and other equipment, V.LOCK makes restraint of services faster, easier, and more cost-effective than alternatives on the market through extensive savings in field labor.
Seismic Cable Restraint Systems carry tension-only loads along the axis of the cable. They are used in pairs 180 degrees apart to restrain systems or equipment in each axis. Cable restraints provide a load path between the building and the restrained component to ensure that it moves with the building. Bracing is required on both primary axes for all restrained systems. Spacing is determined by the building code and specifying engineer. Cable restraints are required for isolated systems as rigid restraints such as strut will short-circuit the isolation.
Lee Chiddention, Director of Sales HVAC market, shared that, "In the unfortunate event of an earthquake, V.LOCK can maintain the integrity of costly building and mechanical equipment, while protecting the building occupants. the simplicity of the V.Lock design allows for quick easy installation in the field ."
V.LOCK is available in three cable diameters with a maximum allowable cable tension of 3,350 pounds. For more information, including mounting options and installation instructions, visit the Kinetics website: https://kineticsnoise.com/vlock.
