Hi,

Was wondering if anyone has any experience using the "Premium" Thomas &
Betts, Black, "UV-Resistant"
nylon tie wraps out of doors ?

e.g., do they become brittle after a fer years due to very cold temps, or
UV ?

Or, do they really hold up well, etc. ?

Thanks,
Bob



Hi Bob:

I have no experience with that brand, but I've used UV resistant (black tie
warps) for years.
The feedlines on my tower are held up with them and I've noticed no
degradation in them for the last 4 years. For what its worth, in the past
I've used Scotch #33 black electrical tape and it has held hard-line and
coax to my tower for 5 to 6 years with no problem. Some professionals I know
use electrical tape for all but the largest runs of hard-line.
