DAKOTA SYSTEMS

Dakota ProTect™ is a coating system applied to Dakota Systems components, including snap-in rigid conduit clamps. It is tested to 1000 hours of salt spray, indicating resistance to corrosion in wet or dry environments. The finish is designated as SST (Dakota ProTect™ Wet/Dry: 1000hr) and appears as a gray color on the spring steel clamps. This finish is intended for applications where moisture, humidity, or occasional washdown may occur, such as outdoor installations or industrial facilities. It is not a substitute for selecting the appropriate material for highly corrosive environments; for those, additional evaluation may be needed. The 1000-hour rating provides a baseline for comparing corrosion performance across Dakota Systems products.

Dakota Systems snap-in rigid conduit clamps are rated for a 400 lb load. This rating applies to the clamp's capacity to secure rigid conduit to strut channel or Smart-Cap/Slotted Receiver systems. The load rating is a static capacity and should be considered alongside the installation's specific requirements, including conduit size, support spacing, and environmental factors. The clamps are made from spring steel with a gray SST finish and are available for trade sizes from 1/2 in to 2 in. For project-specific load calculations, consult the applicable engineering standards and the manufacturer's published data.

Dakota Systems snap-in rigid conduit clamps are available for trade sizes 1/2 in, 3/4 in, 1 in, 1 1/4 in, 1 1/2 in, and 2 in. Each clamp is designed to secure the corresponding conduit size to either Smart-Cap/Slotted Receiver systems or Smart-Strut, depending on the model. The snap-in design allows the clamp to be pressed into place without separate fasteners in many configurations. This range covers common rigid conduit sizes used in electrical raceway installations. For other conduit types or sizes, additional Dakota Systems products may be available; check with 3G Electric for current offerings.

Pre-assembled strut fittings from Dakota Systems are components such as tee plates and angle plates that come with channel nut assemblies and hardware already included. For example, the DS-F60 tee plate is a steel flat fitting with four 9/16 in diameter holes, supplied with a 3/8-16 x 1 in steel hex head screw, a 3/8 in x 1 in OD low carbon steel flat washer, and a short spring channel-nut assembly. The DS-L12 angle plate is a steel corner angle with three 9/16 in holes and an integrated channel nut assembly. These fittings are used for bolted connections in strut channel framing systems, supporting conduit, cable tray, and pipe hanging. The pre-assembled nature reduces the number of loose parts and can simplify installation.

Smart-Strut and Smart-Cap/Slotted Receiver are two strut channel systems from Dakota Systems. Smart-Strut is a strut channel profile that accepts snap-in components directly. Smart-Cap/Slotted Receiver is a system where a cap or receiver is used to secure snap-in clamps. The choice between them depends on the specific installation requirements and the components being used. Some Dakota Systems snap-in rigid conduit clamps are designed for use with Smart-Cap/Slotted Receiver, while others are for Smart-Strut. Both systems are part of the Dakota Systems metal framing line and are intended to provide efficient support for conduit and other raceways.
