Metallics CT6Y 8 Cbl Tie Yel USA Ny

The CT6Y is an 8 inch nylon cable tie in yellow, made in the USA. Nylon is the standard material for general-purpose bundling of wire and cable inside panels, raceways and junction boxes.

Color is the only thing separating the CT6Y from an otherwise identical tie. Yellow nylon is used for color-coding circuits, phases, or system groups so a tech can tell bundles apart at a glance in a panel or pull box. If you need UV resistance for outdoor or sunlight-exposed runs, a colored nylon tie is not the right choice, use a black UV-stabilized tie instead.

An 8 inch tie is the common mid-size in a nylon tie line and handles small to medium bundles, roughly up to about a 2 inch bundle diameter. For larger harnesses or conduit groups, step up to an 11 or 14 inch length rather than daisy-chaining two of these.

Yes. The CT6Y is a USA-made nylon tie, which matters on federal, military and other domestic-preference jobs where country of origin has to be documented on the submittal.

It is a standard one-piece nylon tie with an integral pawl, so it is hand-pulled and self-locking. No installation tool is required, though a tension-and-cut gun gives consistent tension and a flush trim on high-volume work.
