Value Collection R00800804701212 Wire Cloth 18 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R00800804701212 is a Type 316 stainless steel wire cloth cut to 12 x 12 inches, constructed from 18-gauge wire with a diameter of 0.047 inches and a width opening of 0.078 inches. This woven wire mesh is used in filtration, screening, and fabrication applications across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service work. The Type 316 alloy provides corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or salt-air environments where Type 304 would fall short. At 1.221 pounds per sheet, the material offers solid rigidity for light structural screening tasks while remaining workable with standard sheet metal tools.

This wire cloth suits trade professionals working on intake screens, drain guards, vent covers, equipment protection panels, and custom fabrication projects. The 12 x 12 inch sheet size is a practical starting point for single-unit replacement work or for cutting down to fit specific openings. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors will find it useful wherever a corrosion-resistant mesh barrier is needed in residential or light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or sheet metal fabricators using aviation snips, tin snips, or a metal cutting wheel. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and trimming wire mesh, as cut edges are sharp. Secure edges with appropriate fasteners or channel framing to prevent fraying or contact injuries during service. Verify that the mesh opening size meets any local code or equipment manufacturer requirements before installation.
