Tuff Stuff 56126 100 Pack 17" UV Resistant Cable Tie Conduit

Tuff Stuff 56126 100-pack UV cable ties

This pack supplies one hundred black nylon ties rated at 120 lb tensile strength. The patented double-lock design delivers 50 percent more holding power than the industry baseline. They suit automotive, workshop, garage, office and general-purpose bundling tasks. Each tie measures 17 inches long and handles bundles up to four inches in diameter.

Practical limits of nylon zip ties

UV resistance extends outdoor life but prolonged extreme exposure will still degrade the material over time. The 120 lb rating applies to steady axial load; shock loading or sharp-edged bundles can reduce effective strength. Maximum bundle diameter is four inches, so larger loom or duct runs need a different method. Nylon absorbs moisture, which can change flexibility in very humid or very dry conditions.

Installation notes and common issues

Thread the tail through the head and pull tight; the double lock engages automatically without tools. Over-tightening can crush soft insulation or cut into hose walls, so stop when the bundle is firm but not deformed. Cutting the excess tail flush prevents snags but leaves a sharp edge — consider tucking the tip instead. The ties are single-use; removal requires cutting, so plan bundle changes accordingly.
