Panduit CLT75F-C3 Corrugated Loom Tubing Slit 0.75in x 100ft Orange
Overview
The Panduit CLT75F-C3 is a slit-wall corrugated loom tubing designed to protect wire bundles and pre-assembled harnesses from crush impact and abrasion. At 0.75 inches (19.05mm) nominal diameter and 100 feet (30.48m) per roll, this single-roll package covers a meaningful run of wiring without splicing. The longitudinal slit means you snap it onto an existing harness rather than threading individual conductors — a practical advantage when retrofitting cable management into an installed rack, panel, or conduit run. Panduit's Panduit wire management catalog covers the full range of compatible fittings and accessories for this tubing family.
Key Features
- Slit-Wall Construction: The full-length slit allows the CLT75F-C3 to open and wrap around a pre-assembled wire bundle or harness. No need to disconnect terminations — a direct productivity gain on retrofit or field-repair work.
- 0.762in (19.35mm) Inside Diameter: The actual inside diameter gives you 19.35mm of clear bore. That translates to a bundle capacity suitable for typical multi-conductor low-voltage runs — security system wiring, access control harnesses, and similar indoor cable bundles. Measure your bundle OD before ordering; the slit adds some flexibility, but don't overpack.
- Polyethylene Construction: Polyethylene delivers impact and abrasion resistance appropriate for indoor cable routing in panels, trays, and enclosed conduit. It resists the routine mechanical abuse of cables shifting against edges or hardware over time.
- UL 94 HB Flammability Rating: UL 94 HB is the baseline horizontal burn classification. This is adequate for most indoor low-voltage wiring applications in building automation and security installations, but verify your local code if the application requires V-0 or V-2 rated materials.
- 122°F (50°C) Maximum Temperature Rating: Rated to 50°C continuous. Covers standard indoor environments including equipment rooms and panels where ambient heat from active electronics can push temperatures above room level. Not appropriate for high-heat industrial zones or direct sunlight exposure.
- 100ft (30.48m) Roll — Single Package: One hundred feet covers a full panel run, a long cable tray segment, or several shorter harness sections without mid-run splicing. Sold as one roll (Package Quantity: 1), so order quantity maps directly to roll count.
- Orange Color Coding: The orange color provides visual identification within mixed-cable installations — useful for distinguishing circuit types or zones at a glance in a dense wiring environment. Consistent with Panduit's wire management and protection color-coding conventions.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements, relevant for projects specifying restricted-substance compliance in electronic and electrical equipment installations.
Integration and Compatibility
The CLT75F-C3 is secured in place using standard cable ties and Panduit CLT-series fittings. The slit corrugated loom tubing format is compatible with standard cable tie mount points and conduit fittings designed for this tubing family. It is intended for indoor applications only — do not use where the tubing will be exposed to direct weather, UV, or moisture ingress. For outdoor or wet-location routing, specify a tubing rated for those environments. The 0.75-inch nominal size aligns with common conduit fitting sizes; confirm fitting inside diameter compatibility before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the actual inside diameter of the CLT75F-C3?
A: The inside diameter is 0.762 inches (19.35mm). The nominal size is 0.75 inches (19.05mm).
Q: Can the CLT75F-C3 be used outdoors?
A: No. This tubing is rated for indoor applications only. The polyethylene material and UL 94 HB flammability rating are appropriate for indoor environments. For outdoor or UV-exposed routing, select a tubing specifically rated for outdoor use.
Q: What is the maximum temperature the CLT75F-C3 can handle?
A: The maximum temperature rating is 122°F (50°C). This covers standard indoor equipment rooms and panels but is not suitable for high-heat industrial zones.
Q: Is the CLT75F-C3 RoHS compliant?
A: Yes, the CLT75F-C3 meets RoHS compliance requirements.
Q: How is the CLT75F-C3 held in place once installed?
A: It is secured using standard cable ties and compatible CLT-series fittings and accessories. The slit allows it to wrap around existing bundles without disconnecting terminations.
Q: How many rolls are included per order unit?
A: One roll (100 feet / 30.48 meters) per package. Order quantity corresponds directly to number of rolls.
The CLT75F-C3 is one of those components that earns its place on the job by solving a specific installation problem — the slit-wall design means you can protect an already-terminated harness without cutting and re-terminating anything. At 0.762 inches inside diameter and 100 feet per roll, it covers a full panel or tray run in a single piece.
Technical Highlights:
- Slit-Wall Entry: Allows the tubing to snap over a finished wire bundle — no threading required. This is the primary reason to specify this over solid-wall loom, particularly on retrofit projects where terminations are already in place.
- UL 94 HB / 50°C Rating: The 122°F (50°C) ceiling is adequate for most indoor panel and equipment room environments, but it is a ceiling — not a comfort zone. In enclosed panels with high-density electronics, verify ambient temperatures stay below that threshold.
- Polyethylene Construction: Impact and abrasion resistant for indoor routing. RoHS compliant, which satisfies restricted-substance requirements on projects specifying that standard for all installed materials.
Deployment Considerations:
- Plan your cable tie and fitting quantities before installation. The tubing relies on cable ties or CLT-series fittings to stay closed — neither is included in the package, and forgetting fasteners is a common field oversight.
- Indoor-only rating is a hard limit. Do not route this tubing through wall penetrations, crawl spaces with moisture exposure, or any path that sees direct sunlight — polyethylene and UL 94 HB are not rated for those conditions.
This tubing is well-suited to low-voltage panel wiring in commercial security and access control installations — specifically where harness assemblies are pre-built at a staging bench and installed as complete bundles. The slit-wall format makes final dressing and protection a one-person operation in tight panel spaces.
