7.5"LOW INS.FIR TREE

Our range of fir tree ties provide a variety of solutions for automotive fastening applications. The fir tree features allow manufacturers to mount and secure wire bundles to punched or threaded holes, and the disk portion provides adequate tension between the panels to prevent noise and vibration. To accelerate installation speeds, the fluted edges lock into panel holes the same way a pawl locks into strap teeth. We have a variety of parts to meet hole diameters from Ø6.3mm to 11.5mm in panel thicknesses from 0.6mm to 8.5mm. Some fir tree parts are also designed specially for threaded holes from M6-M10.

This is a Low Insertion Fir Tree, or LIFT™ cable tie fastener. It offers an ergonomically advanced solution that provides a low insertion force while maintaining high retention characteristics. The unique LIFT™ flute geometry is designed specifically to meet automotive wire harnessing requirements. LIFT™ cable ties help minimize line worker fatigue. By combining our low insertion fir tree technology with high extraction force characteristics, LIFT™ ties outperform alternative fir tree and arrow style fasteners.
