Value Collection K00600602801212 Wire Cloth 22 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION K00600602801212 is a stainless steel wire cloth cut to a 12 x 12 inch sheet, woven from 22-gauge wire measuring 0.028 inches in diameter. Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel, this mesh delivers corrosion resistance suitable for filtering, screening, and separation applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service work. The 0.1387-inch width opening provides consistent flow-through while capturing particles and debris. At 0.308 pounds per sheet, it is lightweight enough for field fabrication and custom fitting. Technicians and tradespeople cut and form this material on-site to suit duct screens, drain guards, ventilation baffles, and strainer baskets.

This wire cloth is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant mesh is needed. Common uses include inlet screening on HVAC air handlers, condensate drain protection, plumbing strainer fabrication, and equipment ventilation covers. The 12 x 12 inch sheet size suits single-piece installations or serves as a starting blank for custom-cut sections. Type 304 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in damp or chemically active environments such as mechanical rooms and pool equipment enclosures.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or fabrication material for residential and commercial screening, filtering, and ventilation applications requiring a 22-gauge stainless steel woven mesh.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors depending on the application. Power down or shut off any associated equipment before cutting or fitting mesh into duct openings, drain assemblies, or equipment enclosures. Use aviation snips or tin snips rated for fine wire mesh, and wear cut-resistant gloves throughout handling. Secure cut edges with appropriate fasteners or frames to prevent wire strand migration into the system.
