Value Collection E01801801801212 Wire Cloth Steel 12x12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION E01801801801212 is a low carbon steel wire cloth cut to 12 inches by 12 inches, woven at 26 wire gauge with a wire diameter of 0.018 inches and a width opening of 0.038 inches. This mesh sheet is used in filtration, screening, ventilation, and fabrication applications where a fine, uniform opening is required. The low carbon steel construction provides adequate rigidity and formability for general industrial and trade use. Installation or fabrication is handled by HVAC technicians, plumbers, contractors, or maintenance professionals depending on the end application.

This wire cloth is suited for residential and light commercial applications including HVAC filter frames, vent guards, pest screens, strainer baskets, and general shop fabrication. The 12 by 12 inch sheet size is practical for single-unit repairs or custom-cut work. The 0.038 inch width opening makes it appropriate for applications requiring moderate particulate retention or airflow restriction.

Key Features

• Low carbon steel construction provides formability and resistance to distortion under light load
• 26 wire gauge with 0.018 inch wire diameter for consistent mesh geometry
• 0.038 inch width opening suitable for moderate screening and filtration tasks
• 12 by 12 inch sheet size ready for direct use or custom cutting
• Uniform weave pattern supports even airflow or fluid distribution across the mesh face

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or fabrication material for wire cloth applications requiring 26 gauge low carbon steel mesh with a 0.038 inch opening in a 12 by 12 inch format.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth of this type is typically cut with aviation snips, tin snips, or angle grinder cut-off wheels — wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when trimming edges. When used inside HVAC equipment or electrical enclosures, ensure the system is powered down and de-energized before installation. Secure cut edges with appropriate framing, channel, or edge trim to prevent wire strand separation over time. Follow applicable local mechanical or building codes for screening and ventilation applications.
