<DIV><SPAN class=468274416-15022007><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff
size=2>My guess is that I don't use all the clips, etc., because if I ever need
to move or remove parts (as has happened, when a humidistat went bad), I won't
have to mess with all those clips. I'm a wire-bundler by
nature, thereby keeping them tidy and giving them a small profile, which
might be why I tend to have installation parts left over.

also account for it. If I had to string wires/tubes over longer distances,
I'd certainly use more parts to anchor them.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have some spares, too and I'm grateful.
Sometimes I use all the stuff included and dip into my stash. I do
extremely neat installations... :-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, I've used those clips for securing
electrical or extension cords in the shop & garage. I've also
use them in various ways, like keeping the extension cords for my
outdoor Christmas lights out of the way of folks' feet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'd take them if you are sure you don't want

<DIV><SPAN class=109424915-15022007><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff
size=2>Thanks for the clarification, Cy. I just wasn't sure whether
you meant some special hardware kit (which, obviously, you did) or the bags
o' parts that come in the box. (After several fruitless online
requests, I finally called D-C and got access to their "Techs Only"
webpages, so now I can find out all sorts of good
stuff.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

one of our meetings (Central Iowa Chapter). He uses a wire stapler to
tack down the light panel wire, which is brilliant. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

spare parts left after an installation -- if anybody wants 'em, just drop me
a line. I picked up a 1/4-driver (ratchet) for $3 at a tool sale
the other day, and it's actually handier in some ways than the cordless
screwdriver/drill I had been using.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
