Swa cleats, what way is up?

[Engineer54]

Silly one I know, but what way do you chaps fix your swa cleats? For say a horizontal run, do you favour the screw being on top or underneath? Just out of interest really

SWA cable cleats are designed as a horizontal hanging support, so fixings should be at the top... With the cleats turned and fixed at the bottom, you generally find that over a short time, the weight of the cable pulls the up-right cleat flats away from the wall. The bigger and heavier the cable, the more pronounced this affect will be. The more experienced here will know this, by past experience of seeing this happen for themselves. ...lol!! It doesn't matter a jot what side of the cable is being used for fixing vertical runs of SWA cable...

Perhaps if these tutors, as well as others, should contact the manufacturers before teaching or giving students duff information!! lol!!
