Value Collection K03003001301212 Wire Cloth 32 Ga

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION K03003001301212 is a stainless steel wire cloth cut to a 12-inch by 12-inch sheet, manufactured from Type 304 stainless steel wire at 32 gauge. Each wire measures 0.013 inches in diameter with a width opening of 0.020 inches between wires. This mesh material is used in filtration, screening, ventilation, and fabrication applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service trades. The Type 304 alloy provides solid corrosion resistance in both wet and moderate-temperature environments. Installers and fabricators work with this cloth to construct custom strainers, vent guards, insect screens, and protective grille inserts.

This wire cloth is suited for light commercial and residential applications where a fine-mesh stainless screen is required. Typical uses include intake and exhaust vent screening, drain strainer fabrication, equipment guard construction, and general filtration work. The 12-inch by 12-inch format is a standard sheet size that can be cut to fit with tin snips or aviation shears. HVAC and plumbing technicians commonly use this grade of mesh when field-fabricating replacement screens or protective covers for equipment openings.

• 12-inch by 12-inch sheet size is field-cuttable to fit custom applications
• Single-sheet packaging allows for small-quantity procurement without minimum bulk requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stainless steel wire cloth for use in custom fabrication, filtration, and screening applications across HVAC, plumbing, and light industrial service work.

Installation Notes

Cut to size using aviation shears, tin snips, or a metal cutting blade appropriate for fine stainless mesh. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting wire cloth, as cut edges are sharp. Secure edges with appropriate framing, folding, or binding to prevent fraying and contact injuries after installation. No special certifications are required for general screening applications, though any installation inside a gas appliance or duct system should comply with applicable IFGC or SMACNA standards.
