Saw a really clean 3-phase panel install at that new brewery in the old mill district
They used a specific type of nylon spiral wrap for the feeder bundles that kept everything perfectly separated and labeled. Anyone know the brand or have a good alternative for that kind of work?

What was the color of the spiral wrap? My buddy swears by the HellermannTyton stuff for that exact job, says the heavy duty nylon holds the bundle shape without crushing the insulation. He did a whole hospital wing with it and the inspectors loved how clean it looked.

Your buddy's hospital wing puts my garage wiring to shame.

Honestly, the spiral wrap color thing is a small detail but it matters. I gotta gently push back on the heavy duty nylon bit though, @marymorgan that thick stuff can actually be too stiff for some of the tighter bends in a hospital wing setup. We ran into that on a job with nurse call wiring and had to swap to a medium wall polyethylene wrap instead. The HD nylon looked clean but it was a nightmare to pull around the corners. Just something to keep in mind if your buddy ever runs into a snag.
