Thomas Betts TYS12-470 Standard Cable Tie 250 Lb 12 in

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS TYS12-470 is a standard stainless steel cable tie designed for demanding industrial, electrical, and mechanical bundling applications. At 12 inches long with a 250-pound tensile strength, it delivers secure, long-term bundle retention in environments where plastic ties fail. The stainless steel construction with a black coating resists chemical exposure, corrosion, and UV degradation, making it well suited for outdoor installations, chemical processing areas, and marine environments. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install these ties for cable management, pipe bundling, and wire harnessing tasks where durability is non-negotiable.

This tie is appropriate for both residential and commercial applications where standard nylon or plastic ties cannot withstand the installation environment. Typical uses include conduit and cable bundling in outdoor electrical panels, HVAC equipment tie-downs, industrial machinery wire harnessing, and any location subject to temperature extremes, moisture, or chemical wash-down. The maximum bundle diameter of 3.8 inches accommodates a wide range of bundling tasks from small wire groups to larger conduit clusters.

Key Features

• 250-pound tensile strength for secure, high-load bundling
• Stainless steel construction with chemical, corrosion, and weather resistance
• 12-inch overall length with a maximum bundle diameter of 3.8 inches
• 0.47-inch width and 0.01-inch thickness for a low-profile, secure lock
• Black finish for reduced visibility in exposed installations
• UL Listed construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style standard cable tie suitable for general industrial, electrical, and HVAC bundling applications where stainless steel construction and high tensile strength are required.

Installation Notes

Stainless steel cable ties are typically installed by licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, or industrial maintenance personnel using a cable tie tensioning and cutting tool rated for metal ties. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before routing or securing cables. Avoid over-tensioning, which can damage cable insulation or jacket material. Follow NEC guidelines for cable bundling clearances and fill ratios when used in electrical conduit or enclosure applications.
