Value Collection E02002001601212 Wire Cloth Steel 12x12

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION E02002001601212 is a woven steel wire cloth cut to a 12 x 12 inch sheet, suited for filtering, screening, and separation applications across industrial and trade settings. Constructed from low carbon steel, this mesh features 28 wire gauge strands measuring 0.016 inches in diameter with a width opening of 0.034 inches between wires. The resulting open area allows controlled flow of air, liquids, or fine particulates while blocking larger debris. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for wire cloth like this when fabricating field-cut screens, inlet guards, or custom filtration inserts.

This wire cloth sheet is appropriate for light-duty screening tasks in residential and commercial environments. Typical applications include fabricating protective covers for equipment intakes, strainer inserts, pest exclusion panels, and custom vent screens. The 12 x 12 inch format can be cut to size with standard aviation snips or metal shears. The low carbon steel construction is suitable for dry or low-humidity service conditions. A single sheet ships per package, making it practical to order exact quantities for small jobs or repair work.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose woven wire cloth sheet for field-fabricated screens, filters, and guards in HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial applications where a 28-gauge steel mesh with a 0.034 inch opening is specified.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth is typically cut and installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general contractors using aviation snips, tin snips, or metal shears. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting wire mesh, as cut edges are sharp. When installing as an intake or vent screen, ensure the opening area is sufficient to meet airflow requirements for the equipment being protected. Secure edges to prevent fraying or contact with adjacent components.
