There was a recent thread about wire management. Heyco SunBundler ties have
a vinyl coating. I recommended the clips from PV Racking that are stainless
steel coated in rubber. I've had the same concern, and both of these seem
like good solutions to me.

I too share the concern about standard plastic zip ties. However, I started
in the industry in 1997 and have yet to see zip ties that are falling
apart. Does anyone on the list have firsthand experience with failed
plastic zip ties?

Where do you get them and who makes them?

Make sure you use black cable ties, the white ones fail in UV from sunlight.

We have used black cable ties since 1987 to strap sensor wire to PVC pipe for
our solar pool heating systems. I was just at a system we installed in 1989
mounted on an East facing roof yesterday. The exposed 20g sensor wire still
had intact and plyable sheilding and the black cable ties
Andrew,
Thanks for the feedback.
What are the chances that you would know the mfgr of the ties? Long shot?
Under an array(on a roof), yes the ties would be protected from direct
sunlight, but exposed to higher than ambient temperatures.
I have seen some brittle/broken nylon cable ties that
My vote is for the Heyco Sunbundler vinyl coated stainess tiesthey are
string, do not have sharp edges and long enough to go around any brand of
racking.They are a bit on the expensive side.but with a life

We used black UV resistant plastic ties in the past, and YES, there are
significant problems with failure. This may be an effect of the SW Florida
climate, but I say without hesitation that they can fall apart within a few
short years. I recently did an inspection on a 15kw system installed by
