This coupled with a new positive locking system makes them ideal for use where a high strength tie is required. Easy to install with no special tools required. Capable of withstanding heat in excess of 2500 Deg F (1370 deg C). Ideal for securing exhaust wrap or heat shields. Twice the tensile strength of regular locking ties. Fits pipe diameters up to 4" (102mm). Available in 2 different widths - 7mm (200lbs tensile strength) and 12mm (350lbs tensile strength).

Product Information
Full details
The DEI High Strength Stainless Positive Locking Ties are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require exceptionally strong and durable fastening solutions in high-heat environments. They offer twice the tensile strength of regular locking ties and a positive locking system, making them ideal for securing exhaust wrap or heat shields. A potential caveat is their specialized nature, meaning they may be overkill for applications not exposed to extreme conditions.

FAQs
What makes these ties 'high strength'?
They are made from high-grade 316 stainless steel and offer twice the tensile strength of regular locking ties, with the 12mm version rated at 350lbs.
Can I reuse these locking ties?
No, these locking ties are designed for permanent, single-use installation. Once locked, they cannot be easily unlocked or reused.
What is the maximum pipe diameter these ties can fit?
The 12mm width ties can fit pipe diameters up to 4" (102mm).
Do I need special tools to install them?
No special tools are required for basic installation. However, heavy-duty cutters are needed to trim the excess tie material cleanly after locking.
What is the temperature rating for these ties?
These ties are capable of withstanding heat in excess of 2500°F (1370°C).
Are there different widths available?
Yes, they are available in two widths: 7mm with 200lbs tensile strength, and 12mm with 350lbs tensile strength.
What applications are these ties best suited for?
They are ideal for securing exhaust wrap, heat shields, and other components in high-heat, high-vibration environments like automotive exhaust systems.
Troubleshooting
Tie won't lock firmly.
Ensure the tie is threaded correctly and the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Try using pliers or a tensioning tool for a tighter pull before cutting.
Difficulty cutting excess tie material.
Use heavy-duty bolt cutters or a dedicated cable tie cutting tool. Standard wire cutters may not be sufficient for the high-strength stainless steel.
Tie appears to be loosening over time.
Verify that the correct tensile strength tie was used for the application. Ensure the initial tension was adequate and that the locking mechanism engaged properly. Check for excessive vibration that might exceed the tie's capacity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Exceptional strength and durability in high-temperature conditions.
Made from high-grade 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance.
Easy to install without special tools.
Suitable for a wide range of demanding automotive applications.
Cons
May be overly robust for low-stress applications.
Higher cost compared to standard plastic or lower-grade metal ties.
Requires a cutting tool (like bolt cutters or specialized tie tool) to remove.
Larger width options might be bulky for very confined spaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the components needing securing (e.g., exhaust wrap, heat shield).
Thread the DEI High Strength Stainless Positive Locking Tie around the pipe and the component to be secured.
Pull the tie taut by hand as much as possible.
Use pliers or a tensioning tool to further tighten the tie to the desired snugness. Ensure it is firm but does not crush delicate components.
Once tensioned, the positive locking system will engage. Cut off any excess tie material close to the locking head using heavy-duty cutters or a specialized tie tool.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use on exhaust pipes, manifolds, catalytic converters, and other heat-generating components.
Compatible with heat shields, exhaust wrap, and thermal insulation materials.
The 12mm wide tie fits pipe diameters up to 4" (102mm).
Care:
These ties are designed for single-use permanent installation and do not require ongoing maintenance.
Regularly inspect secured components for other signs of wear or damage, though the ties themselves are highly resistant to environmental degradation.
