Value Collection K02402401401212 Wire Cloth 30 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION K02402401401212 is a Type 304 stainless steel wire cloth cut to 12 x 12 inches, suited for filtration, screening, and fabrication applications across HVAC, plumbing, industrial, and general trade use. Woven from 30-gauge wire at 0.014 inches in diameter, it features a 0.028-inch width opening that provides consistent mesh spacing for reliable particle separation and airflow control. The Type 304 alloy delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments. At 0.297 pounds per sheet, it is lightweight and easy to cut, form, or install as needed on the job.

This wire cloth is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a fine stainless mesh is required. Common uses include HVAC equipment intake screening, drain and vent guards, filter media frames, and custom fabrication inserts. The 12 x 12-inch sheet format works well for small-area installations or as a source for cut-to-size pieces. Installers working in corrosive or high-humidity environments often specify Type 304 stainless for its durability over galvanized alternatives.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth of this type is typically installed or fabricated by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general tradespeople using standard aviation snips or metal shears rated for thin stainless material. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling or trimming cut edges, as raw wire ends are sharp. Secure in place using appropriate fasteners, frames, or clamps compatible with stainless steel to avoid galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable local mechanical codes when using wire cloth as an equipment screen or vent guard.
