SnapGuard™ Tips
All SnapGuard™ products include the necessary anchors, screws, and T-clips.
 
Installing the T-Clips

Using the conduit
as a guide, scribe
a straight line on
the wall. This will
help to locate the
proper placement
of the screws.

 Drill 1/8" pilot holes along the straight line.
Install at least one clip every 18" for vertical
runs, and at least one clip every 12" for
horizontal runs. Align the clips horizontally,
as shown above. Insert the cable, press
the guard over the clips until it snaps firmly
in place. We recommend utilizing 3 T-clips
for each 4 foot conduit, and 4 T-clips for
each 6 foot conduit. If a house box is to be
installed, drill the first pilot hole 6"-12"
down from the top for easiest box placement.
 
Cutting the SnapGuard™
SnapGuard™ is manufactured from sturdy,
exterior-grade PVC. The conduit can be
cut if shorter lengths are desired.

Using a PVC cutter or high-leverage
diagonal cutters (big wire cutters),
snip the thicker end portions of the SnapGuard™ on both sides. The
semi-circular portion of the conduit
can then be snapped apart. This
snipping and snapping process usually
leaves a rough edge. We recommend
installing the conduit so that the
rough edge will be at the ground level,
with the factory-finished smooth edge
at the house box.

The SnapGuard™ can also be cut
with a heavy-duty knife or hacksaw
to produce cleaner edges.
 
Attaching the SnapGuard™

After the T-clips have
been installed, insert
the cable into the
conduit. Align the
SnapGuard™ over
the T-clips, and
press down at the
T-clips until it
"snaps" into place.
 
Removing the SnapGuard™

Should it be necessary to remove SnapGuard™, slide a flathead screw driver behind
the conduit near the top T-clip and pry it back, using enough force to break the clip.
Then the SnapGuard™ should simply slide up and off the other clips. The conduit
can always be reattached by replacing the broken T-clip and snapping it back on.
