Chris<div>That is a good tie from HT. I think your part number is off however. The spec is PA66HIRHSUV. They have them in 50lb and 120lb capacity and in varying lengths. These have a good life expectancy in arid climates. You can even get something in writing from HT. We have been able to procure a warranty to back up their life expectancy claims. When in contact with galv steel racking and in humid climates, life expectancy declines significantly with the PA66HIRHSUV.<div>
Consider their Acetal cable ties for this situation. Again backed by HT. </div><div><br></div><div>Also ties used inside combiners and other gear should be rated for the higher temps in these boxes. HT has a PA66HS tie that is designed for the higher temps.<br>
