zipties instead of clamps??

[jtf2]

i have always used the generic steel clamps for the tubing.
while not the prettiest solution they do work.
i use primochill lrt tubing,and i have been playing around with zipties on some barbs.
is there a risk that the zipties will cut through the tubing,and what is an ideal width of the ties.
thanks

imo the 7" ties are best then snip off the excess afterwards. They won't cut into the tubing either just yank them good with a pair of needle nose pliers or something to tighten them good.

All I use are zipties, never had a problem with them either. I use 4" zip ties, larger ones work just as well though.

how wide are they usually,an 1\8 inch?.
i have some 7'`ties here but they are too wide me thinks

I'm Canadian, and prepared for War.
You have no idea how many blankets and I'm ready to hand out to the injured!

Bring it on you Colonial bastards! Don't forget to bring your tuques eh. You'll freeze to death before you ever reach the 49th.

I can relate to cold + snow + sunny day = FUN times for all!

Here's one for the 'ignant Texans:
The 30-30-30 rule.
At 30below C with 30km/h winds skin freezes in 30seconds.

god! it doesnt get that cold here even on the top of mountains. get the computer outside and do some overclocking :D

[Septim]

Cold Canadian weather good for overclocking.... but i see condensation problems?

i still prefer worm drive clamps, especially when i am gonna be using an RD30... Compression barbs can probably come after the EK supreme...
