Home > Competences > Electrical Installation Electrical installation solutions by HellermannTyton: innovative, safe and well thought-out Intro Electrical tapes Wire connectors Cable rods Downlight covers Forward-looking electrical installation – the HellermannTyton range for professionals Professional and skilful electrical installation requires not only well-trained specialists, but also a well thought-out range of products. To help electricians and engineers make their work more safe and efficient, HellermannTyton is constantly developing practical solutions for the field of electrical installation. With the professional cable routing tool CableScout+, for example, cables can be installed more quickly. Sophisticated push-in wire connectors from the HelaCon series guarantee quick and safe cable installation in house and building applications. Electrical tapes from the HelaTape family, available in different qualities, simplify the insulating, bundling, sealing and marking of cables. The product portfolio in the field of electrical installation is rounded off by the SpotClip family, which includes various downlight covers for mounting downlights in dry and acoustic ceilings. For HellermannTyton, only high-quality materials with a long service life are used to ensure that the respective electrical installation fulfils even the highest safety requirements and is durable. As an example, particularly the safety aspect in electrical installation is taken into account at a very early design stage of individual products. The transparent push-in wire connectors from the HelaCon series allow visual inspection of the connection – an important safety feature for the inspection and approval of electrical installations. Likewise, the expert for electrical installation includes various structural demands in its planning. Therefore, our portfolio also includes push-in wire connectors that can be used on-wall or flush-mounted and in all kinds of junction boxes. Furthermore, HellermannTyton provides solutions that guarantee easy handling while ensuring processing safety in electrical installations, even in areas that are hard to reach and especially when it comes to installing downlights. Electrical tapes HelaTape Within electrical installation, HelaTape can be used particularly for insulating, attaching, bundling, sealing and marking cables. Various sizes, colours and materials support the professional use of HelaTape in electrical installation: as a fast, reliable help for repairing cables, as a tool for sealing connection points, as a warning for temporarily laid cables or as a clearly visible cable marker. Thus, the PVC HelaTape Flex insulating tapes are coated with adhesives that are specially adapted to the respective application areas, emphasising their mechanical properties for electrical installation. HelaTape Power is mainly rubber-based and is used for protection, insulation and sealing in electrical installation. The product family is supplemented with HelaTape Shield, which was specially developed for repairing electrical shields. HellermannTyton also offers HelaTape Tex, a low-reflection fabric tape for use in the construction of exhibition stands and stage design. Push-in wire connectors HelaCon HelaCon Plus Mini, HelaCon Easy and HelaCon Lux push-in wire connectors support professional electrical installation in homes and buildings. For example, the new and innovative HelaCon Plus Mini allows stranded and solid wires to be worked on easily, providing relief in difficult situations such as overhead installation. Different colours make it easy to distinguish the push-in wire connectors during electrical installation. With its compact design, HelaCon Easy is particularly suitable for electrical installation in tight spaces and is intended only for solid conductors. HelaCon Lux, the innovative lighting connector, is used for installing lights where solid conductors from concealed wiring are connected with stranded lighting cables. Cable rods Cable Scout+ CableScout+ is a multi-functional tool that simplifies any kind of cable routing. These cable rods are available in various sets, each consisting of a robust case and a large number of useful accessories. Extensions, adapters, hooks, guide eyelets, lights, magnets and cable grips make the CableScout+ cable installation system a universal tool in electrical installation. With the help of fiberglass-reinforced rods, cable routing is much easier even in installation areas that are difficult to access, so that their use ensures considerable time savings. Products in this video Downlight covers SpotClip Spotlights installed in the ceiling develop so much heat that the insulating materials ignite due to heat accumulation and overheating; a dangerous fire can result. To prevent this, HellermannTyton designed the SpotClip, a downlight cover for recessed spotlights. The innovative downlight covers can be easily built into panels or plasterboard within the framework of electrical installation. Thus, air can circulate around the light and dangerous overheating is avoided. In addition, the covers for recessed spotlights can also have a positive effect on the service life of the bulbs.
