Band-IT Tie-Lok Ties

Band-IT Tie-Lok Ties

What makes tie-lok better?

Various grades of stainless steel are used for making it, Tie-Lok ties expand and contract with the thermal cycles of the exhaust. BAND-IT fasteners also use more noble metals within the tie composition that resists attack from road salts and other de-icing chemicals. And because BAND-IT provides complete solutions, they developed the IT Tool system, a pneumatic banding tool that creates installing Tie-Lok ties simple, precise and consistent.

Let's look at the process and economics. Welding calls for greater technical skills (and the associated salary), more capital investment in equipment, requires a hot work permit and yearly inspection, and a lot more energy. Band-IT fasteners are safer for workers, faster to install and not subject to environmental regulation. Warranty claims are virtually eliminated, which not only saves money in the long-run but enhances the manufacturer’s reputation for reliability.

Tie-Lok Ties help ensure that heat shields protect components and profits

The proven performance of Band-IT fasteners is where the rubber meets the road. In this application that’s the “hot end” of the exhaust system. Only solutions made with select materials under exacting manufacturing tolerances can meet the 10-year 100,000-mile survivability threshold and emissions requirements for auto manufacturers. BAND-IT gets you there.

The problems with attaching irregular shaped parts or fabric (sock) shields solved with band clamps. Band-IT’s heat resistant, high strength, corrosion, vibration, clamping systems replace welding and welded bolt-clamps.

Where the above stresses result in broken welds, failed assemblies and warranty repairs, BAND-IT’s ULTRA-LOK® employed in large commercial vehicle diesel applications shrugs off all those environmental realities thriving in an environment for which it is perfectly suited.

Band-IT can solve all the problems related to fastening difficulties. The best clamping solutions are offering them. It has Marine and aerospace approval. Even  NASA also trusting them to use Band-IT products for their aerospace fastening applications.
