The elementa ETS plus clamp is approved by the Kucherenko Central Research Institute of Building Structures – proven durability.
One of the key competitive advantages of elementa ETS plus clamps is their approval by the Kucherenko Central Research Institute of Building Structures (TsNIISK), a leading Russian institute specializing in building structures and construction.
Comprehensive laboratory testing for destructive loads
Unlike most similar clamps on the market, elementa ETS plus clamps have undergone a comprehensive cycle of laboratory testing for destructive loads in the institute's accredited laboratory: the tabulated catalog load values are officially confirmed.
All permissible loads listed in the elementa construction fastener catalog are not speculative or estimated—they are officially confirmed by test reports from the Central Research Institute of Steel Structures. This means:
- The designer can use tabulated values without fear of consequences;
- The design documentation review process is faster—the loads are officially confirmed by a reputable institute;
- The client and general contractor receive legally binding justification for their fastener selection.
Uniqueness in the Russian Market
Today, Prostaya Mekhanika is the only manufacturer of clamps for utility network installations to initiate and conduct such extensive laboratory testing of its products at the Kucherenko Central Research Institute of Steel Structures.
Kucherenko approval applies to the use of ETS plus clamps:
- For the installation of building and structure pipelines (residential, public, and industrial facilities);
- For the installation of road infrastructure pipelines (tunnels, overpasses, overpasses, sewers).
This approval eliminates questions from regulatory authorities, simplifies the approval of design documentation, and ensures compliance with SP, SNiP, and Russian Technical Regulations.
Thought-made design for quick and safe installation
ETS plus clamps are designed with real-world construction site conditions in mind:
Quick-lock latch - allows clamping with one hand, which is critical when working at height and in confined spaces.
Large opening angle - simplifies fitting onto the pipe, even with existing reinforcement assemblies or thermal insulation.
Two locking screws - compensate for deviations in the actual pipe diameter from the nominal diameter, ensuring a tight and uniform fit without distortion. |
Screw protection against loss - prevents fastener loss on-site, speeds up assembly, and improves production standards.
Reliably welded union nut - ensures the integrity of the fastening assembly under vibration and dynamic loads.
Materials and Durability
Increased reliability is achieved through the increased thickness of the clamp's profiled web, ensuring high load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation during installation and operation.
The inner liner is made of EPDM rubber, which:
- effectively dampens vibrations and reduces the transmission of structure-borne noise from pipelines into the building;
- is chlorine-free, meeting environmental standards;
- is UV-resistant, maintaining elasticity and a tight seal during outdoor installations and in rooms with natural light.

Versatility and Resource Savings
The nut with a combined M8/M10 thread allows the use of one clamp type with various studs. This solution:
- reduces inventory;
- simplifies logistics and site procurement;
- reduces overall fastener procurement and storage costs.
BIM models for modern information design
For the digitalization of design work, elementa ETS plus couplers feature fully parameterized BIM models compatible with leading CAD systems. This offers designers and BIM managers a number of practical advantages:
- Accurate placement of attachment points on 3D models of utility systems and building structures at early project stages;
- Automatic generation of specifications and bills of materials without manual recalculation;
- Detection of clashes with other systems (ventilation, electrical, load-bearing elements) even before reaching the construction site;
- Reduced design time and accelerated review processes thanks to standardized digital libraries.
The elementa BIM library fully complies with modern building information modeling trends and the requirements of GOST R 57563-2017, ensuring a seamless transition from design documentation to installation.
Applications
elementa ETS plus clamps are designed for fastening pipelines in the following systems:
- water supply and drainage;
- heating and heat supply;
- ventilation and air conditioning;
- process and fire protection networks.
These products are compatible with steel, copper, and polymer pipes. They are equally effective in residential and commercial buildings, industrial facilities, sports complexes, as well as road and transport infrastructure.
Summary
elementa ETS plus clamps strike a balance between technological advancement, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
By choosing ETS plus, contractors and designers receive not just a fastener, but an engineering-sound, certified, and digital solution that speeds installation, minimizes risks at all stages of the facility's life cycle, and guarantees the long-term operation of pipeline networks.
