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 secures 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. An additional pawl mechanism is provided within the aperture to secure the clamp tie to the mounting stud. A nut or other fastener can be used to further secure the clamp tie to the mounting stud. If desired, the additional pawl mechanism can be configured to permit insertion of the mounting element into the aperture from one end only. The locking head may be bifurcated wherein one of the halves contains the aperture for securing the dual spacing clamp tie to the mounting structure.
