Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TY-RAP from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between TY-RAP stainless steel ties and nylon ties?
TY-RAP stainless steel ties, such as the TYS12-470C-10 and TYS6-280C, are made from 316 stainless steel with a black coating and use a stainless steel barb locking mechanism. They are suitable for high-temperature, corrosive, or outdoor environments where nylon ties may degrade. Nylon ties, such as the TY25MX-A and TY27MX-A, are heat-stabilized for outdoor use and are available in various lengths and widths. Nylon ties are generally used for general-purpose bundling of cables and wires. The choice depends on the application requirements, including temperature, chemical exposure, and required tensile strength. 3G Electric stocks both types and can provide datasheets for specific models.
What sizes of TY-RAP hook-and-loop cable ties are available?
TY-RAP hook-and-loop cable ties are available in several sizes. The buckle style, such as SKU 4YF29, is 18 inches long and 0.75 inches wide, with a maximum bundle diameter of 5.00 inches. Pre-cut hook-and-loop strips come in 6-inch, 12-inch, and 18-inch lengths, all 0.75 inches wide, with maximum bundle diameters of 1.50 inches, 3.20 inches, and 5.00 inches respectively. These ties are made from nylon or polyethylene in black. They allow for adjustable bundling and can be opened and closed multiple times. 3G Electric lists these products with their dimensions and pack quantities.
Are TY-RAP heat-stabilized cable ties suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, TY-RAP heat-stabilized cable ties, such as the TY25MX-A and TY27MX-A, are designed for outdoor use. They are made from heat-stabilized nylon, which provides resistance to elevated temperatures and UV exposure. The TY25MX-A has a 7 1/2-inch nominal length, 0.19-inch width, and 1 3/4-inch maximum bundle diameter. The TY27MX-A has a 13 1/2-inch nominal length, 0.27-inch width, and 3 1/2-inch maximum bundle diameter. Both are black and come in packs of 100 and 50 respectively. These ties are suitable for bundling wires and cables in environments where standard nylon ties may degrade. 3G Electric stocks these models and can provide further specifications.
What is the maximum bundle diameter for TY-RAP TYS12-470C-10 stainless steel ties?
The TY-RAP TYS12-470C-10 coated 316 stainless steel cable tie has a nominal maximum bundle diameter of 4 inches. It has a 12-inch nominal length and a 0.47-inch width. The tie features a stainless steel barb locking mechanism and a black coating. It is supplied in packs of 10. This model is suitable for bundling cables, wires, or hoses where a stainless steel tie is required. 3G Electric lists this product with its specifications, including width, color, and UNSPSC code. For detailed performance data, refer to the manufacturer's datasheet.
Does 3G Electric supply TY-RAP cable ties globally?
Yes, 3G Electric supplies TY-RAP cable ties and accessories to customers worldwide. The company's catalog includes 147 TY-RAP SKUs, covering stainless steel ties, nylon ties, hook-and-loop ties, and related products. 3G Electric provides datasheets and logistics support for these items.

The product listings include manufacturer part numbers, dimensions, and packaging quantities to assist with procurement.
What materials are used in TY-RAP cable ties?
TY-RAP cable ties are made from various materials depending on the model. Stainless steel ties, such as the TYS12-470C-10 and TYS6-280C, are made from 316 stainless steel with a black coating. Nylon ties, including the TY25MX-A and TY27MX-A, are made from heat-stabilized nylon. Hook-and-loop ties are made from nylon or polyethylene, or a combination of both. For example, the pre-cut hook-and-loop strips may be made from nylon/polyethylene, while others are polyethylene. The material affects the tie's temperature range, chemical resistance, and tensile strength. 3G Electric lists the material for each product in its catalog.
