Thomas Betts L-18-120-9-L Standard Cable Tie 18 in 120 Lb

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS L-18-120-9-L is a standard-duty nylon cable tie rated for 120 lb tensile strength and measuring 18 inches in overall length. Constructed from natural-colored nylon, this tie delivers reliable bundling performance in electrical, mechanical, and low-voltage wiring applications. At 0.30 inches wide and 0.07 inches thick, it maintains a secure one-way locking grip once cinched. With a maximum operating temperature of 185 degrees F, it suits most indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors routinely use these ties for wire harness management, conduit bundles, and panel wiring organization. Sold in a package of 50.

This cable tie is suited for residential and light commercial electrical and mechanical installations where a reliable, medium-to-large bundle tie is needed. The 4-7/8-inch maximum bundle diameter accommodates conduit groups, wire harnesses, and multi-conductor runs. Its natural (clear) color makes it appropriate for interior panel work, junction box wiring, and equipment wire management where a low-profile appearance is acceptable. HVAC technicians commonly use ties of this type to dress control wiring and refrigerant line insulation wraps in air handler and outdoor unit installations.

Installation Notes

Cable ties of this type are installed by hand or with a cable tie tension tool; a tension tool is recommended when consistent cinch force and flush tail trimming are required. De-energize circuits before dressing or rerouting wire bundles in electrical panels or equipment enclosures. Avoid overtightening around insulated conductors, as excessive compression can damage jacket materials. Follow NEC guidelines for cable bundling and derating when grouping current-carrying conductors.
