Mike Jackson, Sales Director at Unicrimp, explains how the brand has strengthened its installation performance with its comprehensive conduit accessories range.

Unicrimp continues to support professional electricians and wholesalers with a comprehensive portfolio of Q-Crimp conduit accessories. Designed to meet the evolving demands of modern electrical installations, the range enhances the safety, durability and long-term performance of conduit systems across residential, commercial and industrial applications. It provides wholesalers with a broad, in‑demand product offering and gives installers the confidence of reliable, compliant components on every job.

The role of conduit in modern installations

Conduit remains fundamental to effective cable management, providing protection, organisation and structured routing for electrical wiring. In today’s installations – where compliance, safety and longevity are paramount – selecting the correct conduit accessories is as important as choosing the conduit itself. Its key functions include:

• Cable protection and safety – Conduit shields wiring from mechanical impact, moisture, chemicals and environmental hazards, reducing the risk of faults such as short circuits and preventing access to live parts.
• Organisation and maintenance efficiency – By enabling clean, structured routing, conduit helps maintain orderly installations and simplifies future inspection, maintenance and fault‑finding.
• Regulatory compliance – Correct selection and installation of conduit and associated accessories is essential for meeting relevant standards, including the IET Wiring Regulations, across all installation types.

A complete conduit accessory solution

Developed with installers in mind, Unicrimp’s Q‑Crimp conduit accessories combine robust materials with practical design features to streamline installation and deliver long‑term reliability. With more than 90 individual products, the range ensures wholesalers can offer a comprehensive solution suitable for virtually any application.

Expanded sizes to meet growing demand

Since the initial launch of the Q-Crimp conduit accessories range, Unicrimp has responded to market demand with significant size expansions – particularly in larger conduit applications.

The size expansion applies across several core product lines, including:

• Long pattern brass male bushes (32mm, 1.5” and 2”)
• Short pattern brass male bushes (32mm, 1.5” and 2”)
• Brass female bushes (32mm, 1.5” and 2”)
• Solid couplers (32mm, 1.5” and 2”)
• Flange couplers (32mm, 1.5” and 2”)
• Milled edge lock rings (32mm, 38mm and 50mm)
• Light gauge lock nuts (32mm, 38mm and 50mm)

Introducing threaded nipples – a new product category

In addition to size extensions, the Q-Crimp range now welcomes a completely new product type: Threaded nipples, which are available in 20mm, 25mm and 32mm sizes. This addition further strengthens the range’s position as a complete conduit accessory solution. Designed for secure conduit-to-enclosure connections and system extensions, threaded nipples provide reliable alignment and mechanical stability while maintaining electrical continuity. The introduction of this new category reflects Unicrimp’s continued commitment to evolving the range in line with installer needs.

Other key product categories to highlight include conduit boxes, light gauge saddles, inspection tees, inspection bends, and metal hooks.

Conduit boxes

Also known as BESA boxes, these units are designed to protect and route electrical cables within building structures. The Q-Crimp range includes 1-way, 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way conduit boxes, available in angled, tangent, ‘U’, ‘Y’ and ‘H’ shape configurations – providing flexibility for a wide range of wiring layouts.

Light gauge saddles

Designed to secure conduit firmly in place, light gauge saddles wrap precisely around the conduit to provide reliable system support. Finished with a BZP (bright zinc plated) coating, they offer resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring durability in demanding environments.

Inspection tees

Inspection tees create a three-way junction with an accessible window, enabling straightforward cable inspection and maintenance.
