Thomas Betts ERG120 Cable Tie Installation Tool

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS ERG120 is an automatic cable tie installation tool designed for use with nylon cable ties ranging from 0.184 to 0.301 inches in width and rated for 50 to 120 pounds tensile strength. Built from plastic, this tool applies and tensions cable ties consistently with each actuation cycle, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive bundle work. It is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial service professionals who install cable ties regularly in panel wiring, wire bundle management, and equipment harness work. RoHS compliant construction meets current environmental standards for restricted substances.

The ERG120 is used in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical and mechanical installations wherever consistent cable tie tensioning is required. Typical applications include securing wire bundles inside electrical panels, routing conduit drops, bundling refrigerant line sets, and organizing low-voltage wiring. The automatic actuation mechanism tensions the tie and cuts the tail in a single squeeze, keeping workflow moving on production-style or high-volume service calls.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals during wiring and bundling tasks. No electrical disconnect or system shutdown is required to use the tool itself, though all wiring being bundled should be de-energized per NEC requirements before handling conductors. Inspect the tool before use to confirm the cutting blade and tensioning mechanism move freely. Do not exceed the rated tensile strength range, as oversized ties may damage the tool or produce inconsistent cuts.
