PANDUIT P
Exclusive Locking Method
Unique stainless steel ball locking design allows smooth entry of the tie body for ease of threading. The ball
is permanently entrapped in the head portion of the tie. When the tail of the tie is passed through the locking
head, the tail is forced upward by the ramp (see drawing) which creates constant contact between the tie
and the locking ball. This contact assures locking in any position (upside down, sideways, etc.). When
locked on a bundle, the ball, working in conjunction with the angled ramp of the head, provides a positive
mechanical wedge locking action. The forces created by this wedging action are so great that mechanical
deformation of the tie body occurs at the point of contact between the ball and tie, locking the tie.
