Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel, it offers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The wire diameter measures 0.047 inches with a width opening of 0.203 inches, making it suitable for filtration, screening, and separation tasks. This wire cloth is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, contractors, and fabricators who need a durable mesh material for equipment guards, inlet screens, vents, and general-purpose strainer applications. At 0.582 pounds, the sheet is lightweight and easy to cut or form on-site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wire cloth is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a medium-open stainless mesh is required. Typical uses include protective equipment guards on HVAC units, intake and exhaust screening, pest exclusion panels, and custom-fabricated strainers for plumbing and mechanical systems. The 12 x 12 inch sheet size works well for small-to-medium fabrication jobs. Type 304 stainless steel provides adequate resistance to oxidation and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 wire gauge with 0.047 inch wire diameter for a sturdy, medium-weight mesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.203 inch width opening supports airflow screening, pest exclusion, and coarse filtration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 x 12 inch sheet size is ready to cut, form, or install without additional processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.582 pounds for easy handling and field fabrication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose stainless steel wire cloth sheet for use in HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and industrial screening and fabrication applications where an 18-gauge, 0.203 inch opening mesh is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWire cloth of this type is cut and installed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and general contractors. Use aviation snips, a utility knife with a metal-rated blade, or a mechanical shear to cut the sheet to size — wear cut-resistant gloves, as cut edges are sharp. When used as an inlet or equipment screen, verify that the opening size does not restrict design airflow beyond equipment tolerances. Secure edges with appropriate framing, channel, or fasteners to prevent vibration and edge fraying over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlloy Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Type 304\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.047 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Opening\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.203 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.582 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11162108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: K00400404701212\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694120501554,"sku":"K00400404701212","price":28.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/82f29b747b1e22142ebfd2ad3c5fdf84.jpg?v=1788320539","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-k00400404701212-wire-cloth-18-gauge","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
