Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do these ties rust over time?

Thanks to their galvanized finish, these ties offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for indoor use and most industrial environments.

Can I install them without pliers?

Yes, the wire is designed to be malleable. You can easily bend and twist it with your fingers to secure the tag.

Are they compliant with NFPA-10 standards?

The use of metal ties is a common and accepted industry practice for securing periodic inspection tags, ensuring they do not accidentally fall off.

What is the length of the ties?

The length is standardized to allow for wrapping around the extinguisher valve or handle while leaving enough slack for the tag to be clearly visible.

OHS Expert Advice

"For a professional installation, ensure the tie is tight but allows the tag to pivot freely. This prevents the tag from tearing if it is accidentally snagged. For highly corrosive environments (such as chemical plants or coastal areas), metal ties are far superior to plastic options."
