Value Collection K00600604701212 Wire Cloth 12x12 18ga

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION K00600604701212 is a stainless steel wire cloth panel used for filtration, screening, and separation applications across HVAC, plumbing, industrial, and general trade work. Woven from Type 304 stainless steel wire at 18 gauge with a wire diameter of 0.047 inches, this cloth features a width opening of 0.12 inches between strands. The panel measures 12 x 12 inches overall, making it well suited for custom fabrication, equipment guards, debris screens, and ventilation covers. At 0.891 pounds, it is lightweight enough to cut and form on site using standard sheet metal tools.

This wire cloth is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance and a consistent mesh opening are required. Typical uses include HVAC equipment inlet screens, drain covers, vent guards, pest exclusion barriers, and filter media frames. The Type 304 alloy grade provides good resistance to moisture, mild chemicals, and general atmospheric exposure, making it a reliable choice in mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and outdoor equipment enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general tradespeople depending on the application. Power down or shut off any associated equipment before fitting a screen or guard panel. Use tin snips or aviation shears to trim the panel to the required dimensions, and wear cut-resistant gloves when handling cut edges. Secure the panel with appropriate fasteners or channel framing to prevent vibration-related movement during operation.
