Panduit IMLT304H-Q6L StrongHold Heavy-Duty 316L Stainless Steel Cable Tie

Overview

The Panduit IMLT304H-Q6L is a heavy-duty stainless steel cable tie from the StrongHold™ line — engineered for wire bundling and cable management in environments where plastic ties fail outright. At 998 mm (39.3 inches) in length and constructed from Type 316L stainless steel, this tie is built to handle large cable bundles and conduit runs in corrosive, high-temperature, or outdoor-exposed installations. If you're managing wiring in coastal facilities, chemical plants, food processing areas, or industrial mechanical rooms, the material and construction here match the environment's demands. Sold in packs of 25 (IMLT304H-Q6L, often searched as IMLT304H Q6L), with a carton quantity of 125 for larger project orders.

Key Features

• Type 316L Stainless Steel Construction: 316L is the standard go-to for corrosion resistance in salt spray, acidic washdown environments, and coastal outdoor installations. The 'L' designation (low carbon) matters in welded or high-heat applications — it prevents sensitization and intergranular corrosion that 316 (standard carbon) can develop over time. For wire management on rooftop HVAC, marine infrastructure, or chemical processing lines, this alloy choice directly extends service life.
• 39.3-Inch (998 mm) Length: A 39.3-inch tie accommodates large-diameter cable bundles — conduit clusters, multi-cable trays, or bundled power runs — where shorter ties won't reach around the circumference. This is the tie you reach for when you're managing substantial wire harnesses in industrial control panels or cable tray runs rather than small groups of data cables.
• Heavy-Duty Rated: The 'heavy' classification indicates higher tensile strength versus standard or intermediate stainless ties. When a bundle shifts under vibration or thermal expansion, a heavy-duty tie holds where lighter-gauge alternatives deform or fail. In mechanical rooms or on industrial equipment with ongoing vibration, this rating is the spec that matters at year three of the installation.
• UL Listed (File No. E56854): UL listing isn't a marketing claim here — it means the tie has been independently tested and is acceptable for use in UL-rated panel builds and installations that require listed components. If your project spec sheet calls for UL-listed cable management hardware, these ship with verified compliance.
• Metallic Color, 0.010-Inch Thickness: At 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) thick, this tie strikes the balance between flexibility for routing and rigidity for holding tension on heavy bundles. The metallic finish is consistent with the 316L base material — no paint or coating that degrades in wet or chemical environments.
• Compatible with Panduit Mounting Tools: The IMLT304H-Q6L is confirmed compatible with Panduit stainless tie installation tools including GS4MT-E, PPTMT, ST2MT, HTMT, and PBTMT. Hand-tensioning a 39-inch stainless tie to consistent torque is impractical at volume — using the matched Panduit wire routing and management tools ensures uniform tension and a clean cut without sharp tail protrusion.

Integration & Compatibility

These ties are part of Panduit's Panduit StrongHold catalog and integrate directly with Panduit's stainless cable tie tool ecosystem. For installations involving structured cable management in industrial or outdoor environments, the IMLT304H-Q6L pairs with Panduit's mounting heads and guide heads for high-volume runs. The stainless steel construction is compatible with stainless cable tie mounts and anchor bases typically found in industrial cable tray systems. If you're specifying hardware for a power distribution or mechanical plant wiring project, verify that your cable tie tool model appears in the compatibility list above before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What stainless steel grade is the IMLT304H-Q6L made from?

A: The IMLT304H-Q6L is constructed from Type 316L stainless steel. The 316L alloy provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 stainless, with the low-carbon 'L' designation reducing susceptibility to intergranular corrosion in high-temperature or welded applications.

Q: How many ties come in a package of the IMLT304H-Q6L?

A: Each package contains 25 ties. The full carton quantity is 125 ties (5 packages per carton).

Q: Is the IMLT304H-Q6L UL listed?

A: Yes. The IMLT304H-Q6L meets UL listing requirements under UL file number E56854, making it suitable for use in installations that specify UL-listed cable management components.

Q: What Panduit tools are compatible with the IMLT304H-Q6L for installation?

A: Panduit confirms compatibility with the following tool models: GS4MT-E, PPTMT, ST2MT, HTMT, and PBTMT. Using a matched tensioning tool is recommended for consistent torque on heavy-duty 39.3-inch stainless ties at installation volume.

Q: What is the overall length and thickness of the IMLT304H-Q6L?

A: The tie is 998 mm (39.3 inches) in overall length and 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) thick — a heavy-duty profile sized for large cable bundles in industrial and outdoor cable management applications.

Q: Can the IMLT304H-Q6L be used in corrosive or washdown environments?

A: Yes. Type 316L stainless steel is the standard specification for corrosive environments including saltwater/coastal exposure, chemical processing areas, and food processing facilities with regular washdown cycles. The alloy resists pitting and crevice corrosion that would degrade lesser grades.
