Subject: Elec tape


NC Kansas
I would tape the 2 hoses for the circuit together. Then, the hose that went in the #1 outlet, top, would get 1 numerous overlapped wraps of elec. tape, then the #2 outlet top would get 2 numerous overlapped wraps of elec tape and #3 outlet top would get 3 etc. Not a perfect system, but better than nothing and even cheaper than zip ties.

A word of caution on those plastic zip ties. Careful if you trim them down with a pair of sidecutters. Met a guy that was a service rep for JD and had his left hand in a cast from above the elbow to the finger tips. Stated he was coming down off a piece of equipment and got caught on the end of a plastic zip tie that had been cut off. Tore tendons and ligaments, numerous surgeries to get them repaired. He told us to always try and cut them off straight and try to eliminate a sharp edge. I tend to just let them flap now.
