Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-088 Aircraft Cable 1/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-088 is a 1/16-inch diameter aircraft cable constructed in a 1x19 single-strand configuration. This wire rope style cable is designed for applications requiring a high strength-to-diameter ratio in a compact, low-stretch format. The 1x19 construction — one core wire surrounded by 18 outer wires — produces a stiff, strong cable well-suited to tension and rigging work. With a rated breaking strength of 500 pounds, it handles moderate load applications across a range of trades including HVAC rigging, mechanical systems support, electrical conduit pulls, and general maintenance tasks. The cable weighs approximately 0.89 pounds per packaged unit.

This aircraft cable is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a small-diameter, high-tensile wire is needed. Common uses include guy wires, safety restraints, balancing lines, overhead rigging for equipment, and suspended mechanical system supports. The 1x19 strand type resists bending and flex cycling, making it best suited for straight-run or static tension installations rather than sheave or pulley applications requiring repeated flexing.

Key Features

• 500-pound breaking strength for reliable static and moderate dynamic load applications
• 1/16-inch diameter provides a low-profile, lightweight cable solution
• 1x19 single-strand construction delivers high tensile stiffness and low stretch
• Compact form factor suited for tight-clearance rigging and support work
• Sold individually — one cable per package

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose aircraft cable for use in rigging, support, and restraint applications across HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and maintenance trades where a 1/16-inch diameter, 500-pound rated wire cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with wire rope and cable rigging practices. Always use appropriately rated ferrules, swage fittings, or cable clamps rated for 1/16-inch wire rope — never substitute with undersized hardware. Verify load requirements against the 500-pound breaking strength and apply an appropriate safety factor per applicable codes before installation. Inspect terminations and the cable run for kinks, fraying, or corrosion before placing the system into service.
