Metallics CTTRUV6 6 Releasable Cbl Tie Blk-UV Ny

It's a releasable tie, so the pawl can be disengaged and the tie opened and re-tensioned instead of being cut off. That's what you want on bundles you expect to revisit, like panel wiring, temporary runs, or data drops that get added to. If the bundle should never be opened without cutting, use a standard non-releasable tie instead.

The CTTRUV6 is black UV-stabilized nylon, so it is made for sunlight exposure, unlike natural-color nylon ties that chalk and go brittle outdoors. Typical uses are rooftop conduit runs, exterior lighting, site wiring, and anywhere the bundle sees daylight.

The CTTRUV6 is a 6 inch tie, which is the common size for small bundles, a handful of branch-circuit conductors, low-voltage and control wiring, or securing a cable to a strut or hanger. For a large conduit group or a heavy trunk bundle, step up to a longer tie rather than chaining two together.

Order Metallics CTTRUV6. That single manufacturer part number covers the 6 inch releasable tie in black UV-stabilized nylon, with no finish or color options to specify.

Releasable ties like the CTTRUV6 are intended for bundles that get opened and re-dressed. For a final, permanent dress-out where nobody should be able to pop the bundle open by hand, a standard one-piece locking tie is the better choice. Many electricians use releasable ties during rough-in and rough bundling, then replace or supplement them at trim.
