Hello,

I'm using quite a bit of 1/2" flex as I wire my addition and rewire my basement. I really like to use flex, it is pricey, but I find it much easier than bending conduit (I need pre practice).

For the life of me, I can not find straps for 1/2" flex. I've checked online as well as the large box stores.

Is there an alternative strap that meets code for 1/2" Flex?

Thanks,
Steve

I thought the use of bailing twine was only code compliant in states west of the Mississippi and east of the Rockies...

Try and explain that one to the inspector.
356.30 Securing and Supporting.
Type LFNC-B shall be securely fastened and supported in accordance with one of the following:

I don't see where any one thing is required so why not use duck tape?

Maybe 'cause the duck's complain about using their tape without permission?
