The metal strap with evenly spaced holes is most commonly called perforated metal strapping or perforated hanger strap. Depending on where and how it’s used, it may also be sold under names like pipe hanger strap, plumber’s tape, hanger band, or metal banding. You’ll typically find it as a roll (often galvanized steel) or as pre-cut lengths, designed to be easy to bend, wrap, and fasten with screws or bolts.
If you’re shopping online or in a hardware aisle, these are the labels most likely to match what you mean:
Even when the name is the same, specs matter. Check the width (narrow straps fit tight spaces), the gauge/thickness (thicker holds more load and resists bending), and the finish. For humid areas, outdoors, or contact with pressure-treated lumber, galvanized or corrosion-resistant options are usually safer. Also confirm the hole size and spacing match the fasteners you plan to use.
This strap is widely used for hanging pipes, securing flexible duct, bracing small assemblies, bundling conduit, and making quick custom brackets. It’s popular because it’s easy to cut, shape, and fasten without special tools.

Plumber’s tape (perforated metal hanger strap) is used to hang and support pipes, conduit, and ductwork, or to brace and secure items to framing. It’s fastened through the holes with screws or bolts after being bent to fit the needed shape.
