Value Collection E00800803501212 Wire Cloth 20 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION E00800803501212 is a steel wire cloth sheet rated at 20 wire gauge with a wire diameter of 0.035 inches and a width opening of 0.09 inches. Cut to a 12 x 12 inch sheet, this wire mesh is woven from low carbon steel, providing consistent opening size and adequate rigidity for general-purpose filtration, screening, and fabrication tasks. At 0.651 pounds per sheet, it is lightweight enough for bench work while offering the structural integrity expected from steel wire cloth. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade contractors use wire cloth for equipment guards, vent screening, debris filtration, and custom fabrication inserts.

This wire cloth is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where a consistent mesh opening is required. Typical uses include intake and exhaust vent screening to block insects and debris, HVAC equipment guards, drain strainer fabrication, and general shop filtering tasks. The 12 x 12 inch sheet size is practical for single-use cuts or can be trimmed to fit standard vent openings and custom enclosures. Low carbon steel construction makes it easy to cut with standard tin snips or aviation shears without work-hardening the material excessively.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wire cloth sheet for use in residential and commercial screening, filtration, and fabrication applications where 20-gauge steel mesh with a 0.09 inch opening is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general contractors depending on the application. Always power down or shut off any associated equipment before fitting wire cloth over vents, intakes, or mechanical openings. Use tin snips or aviation shears to trim the sheet to size; wear cut-resistant gloves, as cut wire edges are sharp. Secure the mesh with appropriate fasteners or frames to prevent vibration and loosening over time.
