Value Collection K02002001601212 Wire Cloth 28 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION K02002001601212 is a stainless steel wire cloth panel used for filtration, screening, and separation applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service work. Woven from 28-gauge wire at 0.016 inches in diameter, the mesh produces a width opening of 0.034 inches, making it well-suited for fine particulate screening and intake protection. The panel measures 12 x 12 inches and is fabricated from Type 304 stainless steel, offering corrosion resistance in both wet and dry service environments. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and maintenance contractors install this material as filter media, guard screens, and duct intake covers.

This wire cloth is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a durable, corrosion-resistant screen is required. Typical uses include air handler intake guards, equipment ventilation screens, drain covers, and custom fabricated filter frames. The 12 x 12 inch sheet size allows on-site cutting and fitting to standard equipment openings. The Type 304 alloy grade performs reliably in humid and moisture-exposed environments common to mechanical rooms, crawlspaces, and outdoor equipment enclosures.

Key Features

• Type 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet service environments
• 28-gauge wire at 0.016 inches diameter provides a rigid, stable weave pattern
• Width opening of 0.034 inches suitable for fine particulate and debris screening
• 12 x 12 inch panel cuts easily for custom fitment to equipment openings
• Single-piece sheet format simplifies handling and field fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or fabrication-stock wire cloth screen for residential and commercial HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical equipment requiring fine stainless steel mesh screening.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth panels of this type are typically installed by HVAC technicians or plumbers during equipment maintenance or custom screen fabrication. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before cutting or fitting screen material near electrical components. Use appropriate metal shears or aviation snips when trimming to size, and secure cut edges to prevent wire ends from contacting adjacent components. Follow applicable ASHRAE or local mechanical codes when installing screening over air intake or exhaust openings.
