The tie also has a head defining a channel defined by side and top walls and adapted to receive the strap, and a latch adapted to engage with one or more teeth of the strap, to retain the strap in the head. There are a series of visible markings spaced along the top side of the strap. These markings indicate the diameter of the engaged strap.
