Abstract
A dual spacing clamp tie includes a locking head and two flexible straps extending outwardly in opposite directions from the locking head. The straps are insertable through the locking head to form two, spaced loops that can be used to secure items in spaced, parallel relationship to each other. A pair of releasable pawls in the locking head secure the straps around the items to be secured. An aperture through the locking head is provided for securing the dual spacing clamp tie to a mounting structure such as a threaded stud. Preferably, the aperture is smooth-walled and slightly undersized to hold the clamp tie in place through frictional engagement with the stud. If desired, a nut or other fastener can be applied. Alternatively, an additional pawl mechanism can be provided within the aperture to secure the clamp tie to the mounting stud. Again, if desired, a nut or other fastener can be used to further secure the clamp tie to the mounting stud.
