Value Collection 34-0510-1BLC Safety Lock Wire 143 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34-0510-1BLC is a stainless steel safety lock wire used to secure fasteners, fittings, and components against loosening from vibration. This wire meets ASTM A580 standards and is drawn from 302/304 stainless steel, giving it strong corrosion resistance alongside adequate tensile strength for demanding applications. At 0.051 inches in diameter, it falls in the mid-range of common safety wire gauges and ships as a 143-foot spool weighing approximately 1 pound. HVAC technicians, plumbers, mechanics, and industrial maintenance personnel use this wire when specifications or codes require positive locking of threaded fasteners.

Safety lock wire at this diameter is commonly applied in mechanical and HVAC equipment rooms, compressor assemblies, valve bonnets, and structural fastener applications where vibration could cause fasteners to back out over time. The 143-foot length provides enough wire for multiple jobs on a service call or for stocking in a field technician kit. The 302/304 stainless steel alloy is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• 302/304 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A580 standard
• 0.051-inch diameter suits mid-gauge safety wiring applications
• 143-foot length per spool, approximately 143 feet per pound
• Corrosion-resistant alloy suitable for wet or outdoor environments
• Compact 1-pound spool weight for easy field carry

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose safety lock wire for use with standard threaded fasteners in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications where positive locking is required.

Installation Notes

Safety lock wire installation is typically performed by licensed mechanics, HVAC technicians, or maintenance personnel using safety wire pliers. Always de-energize or shut down the equipment and relieve any system pressure before accessing fasteners. Wire should be routed so that tension pulls the fastener in the tightening direction. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications and relevant trade codes for safety wiring procedures and fastener torque requirements.
