Grip-rite TW16312EAR Rebar Tie Wire 16 Gauge 3.5 Pounds

Product Description

The GRIP-RITE TW16312EAR is a black annealed rebar tie wire designed to secure rebar intersections and anchor rebar to rod chairs and rebar chairs during concrete reinforcement work. Wound at 16 gauge, this wire is pliable enough to twist tightly by hand or with a tie wire reel, holding rebar assemblies firmly in position before and during concrete placement. Each coil weighs 3.5 pounds, giving concrete crew members a manageable spool for sustained work on footings, slabs, walls, and column cages. The annealed finish increases ductility, reducing breakage during the twisting process.

This tie wire is suited for residential and commercial concrete reinforcement applications where rebar must be held at consistent spacing and elevation prior to pour. Typical uses include slab-on-grade work, foundation walls, retaining walls, concrete columns, and elevated deck pours. It is a standard consumable on any job site where rebar assemblies are specified by structural drawings or engineer of record.

Key Features

• 16 gauge wire diameter provides the right balance of strength and workability for hand or reel tying
• Black annealed finish increases ductility and reduces wire breakage during twisting
• 3.5-pound coil size is manageable for sustained field use
• Suitable for securing rebar-to-rebar intersections and rebar-to-rod chair connections
• General construction grade for residential and commercial concrete reinforcement

Compatibility

Designed for general construction use as a standard rebar tie wire compatible with common rebar sizes used in residential and commercial concrete reinforcement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Tie wire is typically installed by concrete ironworkers or general construction laborers using a tie wire reel or hand-bending technique. Ends should be twisted tight and bent inward so that wire tails do not protrude toward the concrete surface, which can cause rust staining. Follow project structural drawings and local building code requirements for rebar spacing and tie patterns. California Proposition 65 warning applies to this product: Cancer and Reproductive Harm.
