Abstract

A dual spacing clamp tie includes a rotatable 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 may be provided through the locking head or adjacent the locking head for securing the dual spacing clamp tie to a mounting structure such as a threaded stud. An additional pawl mechanism may be provided within the aperture to secure the clamp tie to the mounting stud. Alternatively, a nut or other fastener may be used to secure the clamp tie to the mounting stud.
