Thomas Betts L-8-18-9-C Standard Cable Tie 8 in 18 Lb 100pk

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS L-8-18-9-C is a standard-duty nylon cable tie designed for bundling and securing wire harnesses, conduit runs, and general wiring assemblies. Each tie measures 8 inches in overall length with a width of 0.1 inches and delivers an 18 lb tensile strength rating. Made from natural-colored nylon, these ties are a staple in electrical, HVAC, and mechanical panel work. The maximum bundle diameter of 2 inches makes them well suited for small to medium wire bundles. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance personnel reach for these ties routinely during panel builds, rough-in work, and equipment service calls. This listing covers a package of 100 ties.

These cable ties are appropriate for residential and light commercial wiring applications where a clean, reliable bundle is required. Common install scenarios include securing low-voltage control wiring, organizing conductors inside electrical panels, and managing hose or tubing bundles in HVAC equipment. Their natural nylon construction suits indoor environments and applications where the rated maximum operating temperature of 185 degrees F will not be exceeded. A UL Recognized component rating under File E4905 supports their use in listed assemblies where code compliance is a factor.

Installation Notes

Cable ties are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors as part of normal wiring and assembly work. De-energize circuits before working inside panels or control enclosures per NFPA 70E safe work practices. Use a dedicated cable tie tensioning and cutting tool to achieve consistent tension and a flush cut without leaving a sharp tail that could damage adjacent insulation. Do not exceed the rated tensile strength or bundle diameter when applying these ties.
