MODEL 90

The Model 90 is designed for use where straight tube supports are not practical, such as near double backs or on vertical surfaces. Silicone coating in the saddle cushions the tube and reduces shifting during transit or installation. The Model 90 provides approximately 1.75" of clearance from the mounting surface so it is compatible with standard length straight tube supports.

Standard Packaging: 100 pieces per box

SNAPLOCK SPRING LOADED PLASTIC

Spring-loaded plastic clips firmly grip neon tubes without the use of tie wire. Upon installation SnapLocks become nearly invisible to minimize visual clutter and give your signs a clean look. Off-set mounting flange allows proper positioning, and can be either glued or screwed to the mounting surface. Tough polycarbonate plastic and stainless steel spring make these units appropriate for virtually any interior or exterior application. Packed 100 per box, UL listed of course.
