Heyco Products Corp. | Booth 3019
Heyco has noticed there is a trend towards a preference for nylon wire management clips over stainless steel. This shift can be attributed, in part, to the increased attention being given to UL 3741. Heyco is well-positioned to meet the requirements of both materials as UL 3741 gains more recognition. The Bi-Directional, Oval-Hole Mount, seen in the video above, is specifically designed to fit seamlessly into the common mounting hole sizes typically found on the most popular solar panel flange designs. This mount features a unique design that prevents any unintentional rotation within standard oval mounting holes on solar panel frames. This mount offers flexibility in its application, allowing for straight-on or 90-degree panel configurations with the option to run wires either North/South or East/West. The push-through hole design allows for fast and simple installation by hand, with a quick 90-degree turn resulting in a secure friction-fit that holds the mount firmly in place, providing high pull-out retention.
