Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-087 Aircraft Cable 1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-087 is a nylon-coated stainless steel aircraft cable designed for tensioning, rigging, and mechanical control applications across HVAC, electrical, and general trade installations. The cable measures 1/16 inch in outer diameter with a bare wire diameter of 3/64 inch and delivers a breaking strength of 270 pounds. Construction follows a 7x7 strand core configuration, meaning seven groups of seven individual wires twisted together, which provides a balance of flexibility and tensile strength well suited to routing around pulleys, through conduit, or along structural members. This product is sold and priced in 1-foot increments with a minimum order of 100 feet from a total coil length of 1,000 feet.

This aircraft cable is applicable across a broad range of trade scenarios including HVAC equipment hanging and seismic bracing, electrical panel and equipment support, mechanical control linkages, and light rigging tasks in commercial and residential settings. The nylon coating over the stainless steel core adds corrosion resistance and surface protection, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Installers working in mechanical rooms, rooftop units, or exposed utility spaces will find the coated stainless construction appropriate for long-term service.

Key Features

• 270-pound breaking strength for reliable tensioning and support applications
• 7x7 strand core construction provides flexibility for routing around bends and through fittings
• Nylon coating over stainless steel core offers corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments
• 1/16 inch outer diameter with 3/64 inch bare wire diameter for use with standard small-diameter cable hardware
• Sold in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil, allowing job-specific quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose small-diameter aircraft cable compatible with standard 1/16 inch cable fittings, ferrules, swage terminals, and tensioners used in HVAC seismic bracing, mechanical rigging, and electrical support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of aircraft cable for structural support or seismic bracing should be performed by a qualified tradesperson in accordance with applicable local mechanical and building codes. Always use correctly rated end fittings, ferrules, or swage terminals rated for 1/16 inch cable diameter. Inspect the cable for kinking, fraying, or coating damage before installation, and avoid sharp bends that could compromise strand integrity. Do not exceed the rated breaking strength, and apply an appropriate safety factor as required by the governing code or engineering specification.
