Thomas Betts L-4-18-9-M Standard Cable Tie 4in 18lb Nylon

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS L-4-18-9-M is a standard-duty nylon cable tie designed for bundling, securing, and routing wires and cables in electrical, HVAC, and mechanical applications. Measuring 4 inches in overall length with an 18 lb tensile strength, this tie delivers reliable holding power for light to moderate cable management tasks. Made from natural-colored nylon, it resists moisture and mild chemicals. The self-locking head cinches firmly without tools, making installation fast on the bench or in the field. Each package contains 1000 ties, suited for contractors and technicians stocking their supply for ongoing work.

This cable tie is used across a wide range of trade applications including low-voltage wiring bundles, control panel wire management, HVAC equipment wiring harnesses, and general electrical rough-in work. The 5/8 inch maximum bundle diameter makes it appropriate for small to medium wire groups. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders commonly use this size when organizing conductor bundles inside enclosures, along conduit runs, or at equipment connections where a clean, secure wrap is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style nylon cable tie suitable for general wire bundling and routing tasks in electrical, HVAC, plumbing control, and mechanical panel applications where a 4 inch, 18 lb tie with up to 5/8 inch bundle diameter capacity is specified.

Installation Notes

Cable ties are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders as part of standard wiring practice and should be routed and secured in accordance with NEC guidelines for conductor bundling and support. Insert the tail through the head, pull snug around the bundle, and trim the excess tail flush with the locking head using diagonal cutters or tie flush-cut tools. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage conductor insulation or restrict wire flex. Do not use in applications that exceed the 185 degrees F rated operating temperature.
