24 Inch Zip Ties
At 24 inches, a zip tie stops being a wire-management product and becomes a general strapping tool. It closes around roughly 6.5 to 7 inches of diameter, approximately, depending on strap width and head design. In practical terms, that means a 4x4 or a 6 inch round post with strap to spare, a bundle of several 2x4 offcuts, a handful of PVC or conduit sticks, or a roll of fencing wire.

Our 24 inch ties are rated 175 lb minimum loop tensile strength, the extra-heavy-duty class and the top of our current range. The higher rating is a good match for the length: long ties tend to go on bigger, heavier bundles and in places where wind and movement put more stress on the lock. Even so, 175 lb is a test figure, not a working load. They are Nylon 6/6, in Black for outdoor use and Natural Clear White for indoors.
Stepping up from our 16 inch tie gets you both extra reach and the 175 lb class. Stepping up again to 36 inch is mostly about reach, for bundles and objects past about 7 inches that a 24 inch tie cannot close around.

Typical uses
Square posts and fence lines
Attaching fence fabric, windscreen, signs and temporary barriers to 4x4 lumber and round posts up to about 6 inches.
Lumber, pipe and conduit bundles
Keeping cut lumber, PVC, conduit and pipe together in racks and on carts. Use them to keep a bundle together, not as a tie-down for transport.
Duct and insulation
Closing insulation jackets and holding flexible duct in place on runs around 6 inches. Where code or the duct manufacturer calls for a listed clamp or strap, use that instead.
Nursery and orchard work
Holding stakes, tree guards and shade cloth to posts. When tying anything to a living trunk, leave slack and check it often so the tie does not girdle the tree.
Large cable and hose bundles
Gathering heavy cable runs, welding leads and hose coils where a 16 inch tie cannot reach around the bundle.
Is a 24 inch zip tie right for your job?
Choose 24 inch for anything roughly 4.5 to 7 inches across, and whenever you are working around square lumber posts. It is also the length to pick if you want the 175 lb class but do not need the full reach of a 36 inch tie.
For bundles past about 7 inches, go to 36 inch. For round objects under 4.5 inches, a 16 inch tie leaves far less tail to trim. If a job involves real structural load, a person's safety or anything overhead, use hardware rated for that purpose rather than any cable tie.
| Length | Approx. bundle diameter | Rating in our current range | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 in | About 4 to 4.5 in | 120 lb | Rolled goods, hose coils, big cable bundles |
| 24 in | About 6.5 to 7 in | 175 lb | 4x4 posts, 6 in duct, lumber and pipe bundles |
| 36 in | About 10 to 11 in | 175 lb | Large bundles, big posts and poles, 8 to 10 in duct |
Frequently asked questions
What diameter bundle does a 24 inch zip tie hold?
Approximately 6.5 to 7 inches. Strap width and head design affect the exact limit, so allow a little margin for a secure lock.
Will a 24 inch zip tie fit around a 4x4 post?
Yes, with room to spare. A 4x4 is about 3.5 inches on a side, so its perimeter is roughly 14 inches, well within what a 24 inch tie can close around.
How strong are 24 inch zip ties?
Ours are rated 175 lb minimum loop tensile strength. That is a test rating, not a safe working load, so plan real loads well below it and never use them for lifting or overhead support.
Can I use 24 inch zip ties on flexible duct?
They are sometimes used on flex duct and insulation, but many codes and duct manufacturers require a listed clamp or strap at connections. Our ties do not carry such a listing, so check local requirements first.
