Mounting Zip Ties

Mounting zip ties — also known as screw-mount cable ties — feature a built-in square mounting hole that allows cables and wires to be permanently secured to walls, panels, equipment racks, and any flat surface. Thread a screw through the mounting hole, tighten, and the cable tie is fixed in place — the strap then loops around the cable bundle to hold it securely against the surface.
TIESELX screw mount cable ties are manufactured from UV-resistant black nylon 6/6 for use in outdoor and exposed environments. Available in 8, 10, and 12 inch lengths in 200-pack bulk quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions – Mounting Zip Ties

What are mounting zip ties used for?
Mounting zip ties — also called screw-mount cable ties — combine a standard zip tie strap with an integrated mounting pad containing a screw hole. They allow cables and wire bundles to be permanently secured to walls, panels, equipment racks, and any flat surface. A single screw fixes the mounting pad, and the strap loops around the cable bundle.

What screw size fits mounting zip ties?
Most mounting zip ties accept screws up to #6 (3.5mm) through the mounting hole. Always check the specific product for the mounting hole diameter. Self-drilling screws work well for direct installation into drywall, wood panels, and metal equipment racks.

Can mounting zip ties be used outdoors?
TIESELX black mounting zip ties use UV-resistant nylon 6/6 and are suitable for outdoor use. Use stainless steel or galvanized screws for outdoor mounting points to prevent rust staining around the fixing point.

How do mounting zip ties differ from adhesive cable clips?
Mounting zip ties use a screw for a permanent, high-strength hold that is secure even under vibration and heavy cable loads. Adhesive cable clips are faster to install but rely on adhesive that can fail under heat, moisture, or heavy pull forces. Use mounting zip ties anywhere a permanent, load-bearing cable mount is required.
