National Light Sources | 16-20mm Conduit Clip-On Saddle | Grey
The NLS 30295 is a two-piece clip-on conduit saddle for 16 to 20mm conduit, supplied in grey. The 30295 separates into a screw-fixed base and a snap-on top clip, so the base is mounted first and the conduit is clipped in afterwards. Adjacent saddles interlock, which allows several to be aligned along a run.
Fixing a one-piece saddle means holding the conduit, the saddle, and the driver simultaneously, usually at arm's length above a ceiling line. A screw-fixed base goes on independently, leaving both hands free for the fastener. The conduit then presses into the snap-on top clip afterwards, which changes a two-person job into a one-person job on long runs.
Alignment across a visible run separates competent work from the alternative, and eyeballing spacing on a long wall rarely produces a straight result. The interlocking design lets adjacent saddles register against each other, setting consistent spacing without measuring each position. The 16 to 20mm range covers the conduit sizes that dominate domestic and light commercial rough-in.
Features
- 16 to 20mm conduit range — accepts the two conduit sizes most common in domestic and light commercial work.
- Two-piece construction — a separate base and top clip rather than a single moulded saddle.
- Screw-fixed base — the base mounts independently, so the fastener goes in without holding the conduit at the same time.
- Snap-on top clip — the conduit presses into the clip after the base is fixed, with no second fastener at that stage.
- Interlocking saddles — adjacent saddles register against each other for consistent spacing along a run.
- Grey finish — matches the standard grey of medium duty conduit and fittings.
- Flat surface mounting — the base is designed to sit on a flat substrate rather than a curved or irregular one.
- Sold individually — supplied as a single saddle rather than in a bag or box quantity.
- Fixing screw not stated as supplied — allow for a suitable screw and, where needed, a wall plug for the substrate.
- Two sizes only — conduit outside the 16 to 20mm range needs a saddle sized to that diameter.
Where to use
- Surface conduit runs — the 30295 fixes 16 and 20mm conduit along walls and ceilings during rough-in.
- Switchboard and meter box entries — securing conduit approaching a board or enclosure.
- Garage and shed wiring — surface runs across masonry and timber where conduit is left exposed.
- Renovation and rewire work — surface conduit added where chasing into a finished wall is impractical.
- Long visible runs — the interlocking feature keeps spacing even where the run is on show.
- Commercial fit-out — plant rooms, storerooms, and back-of-house areas with exposed conduit.
The 30295 suits 16 to 20mm conduit only, so larger diameters need a saddle matched to that size. The base is designed for flat surface mounting and is not intended for curved or irregular substrates. A fixing screw is not stated as supplied, so allow for a screw and a suitable plug or anchor for the substrate, and installation is a licensed electrician's work where the conduit carries live wiring.
