Value Collection R10010000451212 Wire Cloth 45 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R10010000451212 is a fine-mesh stainless steel wire cloth used for filtration, screening, and separation applications across industrial and trade settings. Woven from Type 316 stainless steel wire at 45 gauge with a wire diameter of 0.0045 inches, this cloth delivers corrosion resistance suited to harsh or wet environments. The 0.0060-inch width opening provides precise particle control for demanding filtration tasks. Each piece measures 12 x 12 inches and is sold individually. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance trades commonly use fine wire cloth for strainer fabrication, vent screening, and inline filtration work.

This wire cloth is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a controlled mesh opening is needed. Typical uses include fabricating custom strainers, reinforcing vent openings, constructing filter media frames, and general screening where stainless corrosion resistance is required. The Type 316 alloy grade provides added resistance to chlorides and acidic environments compared to standard Type 304, making it a common choice in pool equipment rooms, coastal installations, and chemical-adjacent mechanical spaces. The 12 x 12 inch sheet size allows for straightforward cutting and fitting with standard tin snips or aviation shears.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or fabrication material for fine-mesh screening and filtration applications in HVAC, plumbing, pool, and general mechanical trade use.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth should be cut with aviation shears or tin snips rated for fine-mesh woven material. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and trimming, as cut edges are sharp. Secure edges with appropriate framing or folding to prevent unraveling in high-flow applications. Ensure any inline filtration or strainer assembly is depressurized and isolated before replacing or installing wire cloth screens.
