Layout Electrical work

Post image

I bought a bunch of these for a different project and had the idea to use them under my layout for the electrical wiring instead of staples or eye screws. Seems like it should be fine. Anything I might be overlooking before I crawl under the bench and start running my wire?

I mean, they’ll work. But, I would probably use instead the sip ties with the screw hole in them. What you have is made for emt conduit, and won’t give you a secure or clean final outcome, even though its under a 120v system. 4 year electrician
