I have some exhaust hose/components on my boat which were secured using
soft steel strapping. Obviously that hasn’t held up too well. I’m looking
for 1/2" or 3/4" perforated stainless steel strapping. My on-line searches
haven’t found anything. Does anyone know of a source?

I’ve hammered flat and drilled scraps of thin-wall tubing to improvise this
sort of thing. Ugly but effective.

You might check with a plumbing supply house — I’ve got to think *somebody*
makes SS pipe strap.

McMaster sells 302 stainless strapping. It’s not perforated, though.

"Wrap lok"sp comes in ss although it is not perforated. I believe it is
not too $$ for stainless.

Hey Geoff,
Can’t help with the SS, but plumbers tape does come in copper, and in
galvanized. Also comes in various gauges of material.
And of course gear-clamps (hose clamps?) come in SS and FULL
stainless.

Two products come quickly to mind.
1) SS Band-it strap. Make your own holes. (good excuse to buy a Whitney punch)
You will probably have to buy a whole roll, but it will last you a lifetime!
Available at commercial hardwares and (naturally) on the Internet. If you go
ahead and buy the tool and some buckles, you will find many uses around a boat.
Band-it tools & supplies are (or were) common in Navy damage control kits.
2) SS tie wraps made for the communications industry.

There are kits of 1/2" wide stainless steel ‘hose’ straps that are 20′
or so in length. So it doesn’t have round holes – slotted holes are
perforated.
I bought mine from MSCdirect.com
Another is to plasma cut a bunch of holes then the strip.

I’ve found unperforated SS strapping at reasonable prices, but I was hoping
to find perforated. I suppose that I could use unperforated.
– Geoff
Buy the unperfed strap, use a hand punch to add the holes,
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=44060
$18 plus there is a 15% off coupon in the current sale flyer.
McMaster has a heavy duty version for around $50 or so

And then get a smaller punch and punch the punchings, and you’ve got a nice
supply of washers!

Easier to turn unperfed into perfed than to turn mild steel into stainless.

Go here: http://www.mcmaster.com/
On the left type in: straps
On the page that appears on the left
click on: perforated steel straps
On the page which appears on the
right scroll down to: flexible straps
There you will see stainless straps,
both perforated and solid.

On my last boat we used 1" and 2" nylon webbing. Very kind to the
soft exhaust hoses and easy to install. Just heat an awl to melt a
hole for a screw where you want it. Wrap the webbing 1 turn around
the hose so the hose can’t move fore/aft. Never a chafe problem
