Good evening,
I need some suggestions on securing 4/0 4/0 4/0 2/0 ser cable to a surface. Basically I have a 200a service disconnect after the meter, then about a 7ft run of ser to a junction box on the other side of the pedastal, where I will tie into a 400' run of 350mcm quadruplex and another 75' run of 4/0 mobile home feeder. Im having trouble finding was to secure it after the dissconnect and before the junction box. 3/4 plastic 2 hole straps fit snug, but I'm wondering if that's a violation since its not the intended use. This is a 200a single phase service to a new home and garage. I know conduit would have been better but the enclosure is only 7" behind the disconnect. Se is just easier, and it's not subject to physical damage.

Thanks for the help and happy holidays.

I would probably use pvc straps of 1-hole emt or rigid straps. IMO that would be ridiculous to cite someone with a 110.3(B) for that. Or something like these are nice:

Thanks! Guys I appreciate it. I don't work with ser that often so I really don't know of the variety of hardware to go along with it. I mostly do industrial stuff.
Thanks again!
