Zip tie fixings, mounts and bases are efficient, affordable accessories used to organize cables inside a building and on external walls. Our guide explains what zip tie mounts and bases there are, where they can be applied, and how to use them.
What are Zip Tie Mounts and Bases?
Zip tie mounts and bases are attached to a flat surface and used in combination with a zip tie to support bundles of wires. The zip tie threads through the slot and is secured around the cables. Some mounts are self-adhesive, while others need screws. There are also masonry mount screws which remove the need for adhesive or traditional screws.
Self Adhesive Zip Tie Bases
Self adhesive zip tie bases are ideal for supporting cables temporarily, without the need for drilling holes or using screws. These bases are most often used to hold lightweight bundles of cables — for example, to hang decorative lighting or seasonal displays. Just stick them to the wall or other surface and thread through a zip tie before adding cables.
Available in black and white, so you can create a uniform appearance with matching zip ties.
Zip Tie Screw Mount Saddle Bases
For permanently supporting heavier cables using zip ties, screw mounted saddle bases are the best option. They're attached to the surface with screws in the center of the base, creating a strong, secure fixing. They can be used indoors along ceilings, walls, or under floors, and outdoors for exterior lighting, CCTV systems, garden hose reels, or any other pipes.
Zip Tie Masonry Mount Screws
A durable solution for fixing cables to walls quickly and without fuss. Simply drill a hole using a masonry drill bit, knock the mount into the wall, and slide a zip tie through the square head of the screw. No separate mounts or screws required.
Eyelet Zip Tie Fittings
Small but tough bases for securing heavier cable bundles in restricted spaces — for example, under desks or behind cabinets. Available in black and white, made of UL approved nylon. Drill a hole, add a screw in the eyelet, and thread through a zip tie.
How to Attach a Zip Tie to a Wall
- Identify where you want to fix the zip tie and make sure the surface is clear.
- For self-adhesive bases: peel the protective layer and stick firmly onto the surface. For screw mount saddle bases or eyelet fittings: mark the position, drill a hole (0.16" or 0.2" for saddle bases, 0.14" for eyelets), add a wall plug, and secure with a screw.
- For masonry mount screws: drill a 0.31" hole and gently hammer in the plastic screw.
- Thread the zip tie through the fixing.
