Stainless steel cable tie prevents slippage
Panduit has designed a new stainless steel cable tie that prevents slippage on rigid bundles and eases installation.
Super Heavy ties limit the installation procedure to three steps: loop, tension and cut.
The significant time saving made on each installation reduced Relay's labour costs by enabling the contractor to redeploy its workforce to other vessels.
The need for cushion sleeve is eliminated with Super Heavy ties, as all edges are fully rounded with smooth surfaces to prevent damage to insulation on cable and adjacent bundles.
Through a process known as "slip-back", the ties leave no exposed edges after cutoff, when installed with the RT1HT installation tool, to guarantee a completely safe solution.
Panduit Super Heavy ties are engineered to withstand the harshest environments and conditions, including temperature extremes of -80 to +538C and corrosion and chemical attack, giving them a longer life and reducing the need for expensive, periodic rework.
