  • Product Description
    FlattenIt® is an advanced textile structure engineered to facilitate the installation of round wire bundles into tight or confined spaces. Woven with lightweight thermoplastic yarns, the product maintains wire bundles in a flat, low profile. By forcing wires to lay in a flat position, the bundle size is reduced, allowing routing through confined areas such as under carpet, headliner, under seat and door harness applications. The combination of flexibility, strength and low bulk make FlattenIt an obvious choice for engineers requiring more design freedom than allowed by typical plastic channels.

    Woven with an integral closure mechanism, FlattenIt opens to enable easy installation yet closes securely to maintain integrity of the wire bundle. The closure is designed to allow easy access for inspection, rework or replacement of components. The product’s wrap construction also permits installation onto portions of already installed wire harnesses.
