 Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2007 2:24 pm Post subject: Nylon Conduit Routing in Wing |
 |
|
Working on wiring up my left wing (601XL) and I bought this nylon wire conduit from the Van's site. I'd like to keep it out of the wing locker area if possible and also clear of the two aft rear rib holes for the aileron cables. I'm thinking of routing the conduit at the point recommended on 6-LLO-1, 480mm aft of the spar and 40mm down from the top flange of the rear rib. See the pic attached. My question is will this area support a hole large enough for my conduit (about 7/8") without negatively impacting the structure of the rear rib. I may call ZAC tomorrow to get their input, but I'm sure someone has been down this path before. Thanks.

This is where I placed my conduit for electrical. Maybe this will help.
Thanks

Dave what I did was to suspend my conduit in the first set of lightening holes aft of the spar. I made hangers out of 6061-T6 .016" and drilled them out with a Unibit to accept the correct grommet for the OD of my conduit. The hangers are rivetted to each rib along the way. I used thinwall aluminum tubing fron AS for the conduit. The connectors at the wingroot will enter the fuselage under the front seat support where the spar bolt access plate lets me get to them. I think the photo is small enough not upset anyone.

This reply is not meant to replace the call to ZAC but a 1" hole at that location, if made with uniform circularity and with a polished edge should be invisible to the structure. If concerned, flange the hole 1/4" x 45°.

I made some aluminum L's, bent them into J's riveted them to the ribs
and cable tied my conduit to the J's, exactly where your conduit is routed
in the pic.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. This is certainly a helpful group and I'm glad to be in this builder community. I did call ZAC today. Advice was that maybe my 7/8" conduit was too large for what I'd be running thru it. Zac takes the approach of bundling the wires and pitot tubes together with zip ties and routing thru the same point in the rear ribs, but with a hole that's a half inch in diameter. They recommended keeping the edge of any hole in the rib at least 20mm from the lightening hole and top flange.
Regards,
Dave
