Thomas Betts TY551M Identification Cable Tie 18 Lb 100-pack

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TY551M is a natural-colored nylon identification cable tie designed for bundling and labeling wire harnesses, conduit runs, and other grouped conductors. At 3.6 inches in overall length and 0.09 inches wide, the TY551M accommodates bundles up to 5/8 inch in diameter and delivers an 18 lb tensile strength. The nylon construction provides weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Each tie features an identification tab area, allowing techs to write or apply labels directly to the tie without additional labeling hardware. Sold in packages of 100. This is a UL Recognized component.

The TY551M is used in commercial and residential electrical installations, HVAC control wiring, panel wiring, and general wire management tasks. Its compact size targets low-count wire bundles and small conduit groups where larger ties would be impractical. The identification feature suits applications where cable routing documentation, circuit labeling, or maintenance tagging is required at the bundle level. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and panel builders commonly use this tie during rough-in, equipment startup, and service work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose identification cable tie for standard wire bundling and labeling applications in electrical, HVAC, and low-voltage wiring installations where a 3.6-inch natural nylon tie is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Cable ties are installed by electricians and HVAC technicians as part of wire management during and after equipment installation. De-energize circuits before working in panels or enclosures where ties will be applied. Use a flush-cut tool to trim the tail after cinching to prevent sharp edges that can damage wire insulation. Do not over-cinch ties on insulated conductors, as excessive tension can deform insulation over time.
