I'm still thinking on how to mount a temp sensor to a solar hot water
heater. I plan to put the sensor wire inside a 1/2" flexible copper pipe and
bring it along side the hot exit water pipe on the solar heater. Need to
attach this to withstand a small hurricane (hopefully) and the hot Florida
sun. Plan "A" was just electrical zip ties for both sensor and copper
conduit. Will these take the heat? Got a better idea?

Have a layer of insulation or tape between the tie and the copper
pipes to prevent electrolytic corrosion.
