Value Collection R12012000361212 Wire Cloth 12x12 Type 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R12012000361212 is a woven stainless steel wire cloth sheet used for filtration, screening, and separation applications in industrial and trade settings. Constructed from Type 316 stainless steel, this wire cloth features a wire diameter of 0.0036 inches and a width opening of 0.0046 inches, making it suitable for fine-mesh filtration tasks. The sheet measures 12 inches by 12 inches and weighs 0.116 pounds. HVAC technicians, plumbers, industrial maintenance techs, and fabricators commonly work with wire cloth of this specification when building or repairing filter assemblies, strainer screens, and ventilation barriers.

This wire cloth is well-suited for applications requiring fine particle filtration or controlled airflow restriction. The tight 0.0046-inch opening is appropriate for filtering fine sediment, debris, or particulates in liquid or air handling systems. The 12 x 12 inch format allows it to be cut to fit custom housings, strainer frames, or screen enclosures. Type 316 stainless steel provides elevated resistance to corrosive environments compared to Type 304, making this cloth a practical choice for saltwater exposure, chemical processing environments, or high-moisture mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Wire diameter of 0.0036 inches for fine-mesh weave integrity
• Width opening of 0.0046 inches for precise particle filtration
• 12 x 12 inch sheet size for versatile cutting and fitting
• Lightweight at 0.116 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or fabrication material for fine-mesh filtration and screening applications requiring a 12 x 12 inch stainless steel wire cloth sheet with a 0.0036-inch wire diameter and Type 316 alloy construction.

Installation Notes

Wire cloth of this type is typically cut to size using aviation snips or metal shears and secured within a frame or housing appropriate to the application. Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling and trimming wire cloth, as cut edges are sharp. Power down or depressurize any system before removing an existing screen or strainer for replacement. Ensure the frame or housing is clean and free of debris before seating the new cloth to maintain a proper seal.
