Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-137 Aircraft Cable 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-137 is a vinyl-coated stainless steel aircraft cable designed for rigging, tensioning, and load-bearing applications across mechanical, marine, and general trade use. The bare wire diameter measures 3/16 inches, with an overall coated diameter of 1/4 inch. It carries a breaking strength of 3,700 pounds and is constructed with a 7 x 19 strand core configuration, which delivers superior flexibility and fatigue resistance compared to fewer-strand constructions. This cable is sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum order quantity of 50 feet and is available in coil lengths up to 1,000 feet, making it practical for both project-specific cuts and high-volume trade work.

This aircraft cable is suited for residential and commercial installations where flexible, high-strength wire rope is required. Common applications include safety cable systems, railing infill, garage door assemblies, HVAC equipment rigging, theatrical rigging, and general mechanical tensioning. The vinyl coating provides a finished outer surface that reduces abrasion on contact points and helps resist corrosion in exposed or high-humidity environments. Licensed contractors and qualified tradespeople working in mechanical, electrical, or general construction trades routinely specify this cable type for code-compliant tensioning assemblies.

• Sold by the foot in 1-foot increments with a 50-foot minimum order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose vinyl-coated stainless steel aircraft cable suitable for mechanical rigging, tensioning hardware, and wire rope assemblies that require a 1/4 inch overall diameter and 7 x 19 strand flexibility rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with wire rope rigging and applicable load ratings. Use appropriately rated swage fittings, cable clamps, or ferrules rated for 3/16 inch wire rope and the stated breaking strength. Never exceed the working load limit, which is a fraction of the stated breaking strength — apply an appropriate safety factor per applicable codes and engineering guidelines. Inspect terminations and the cable jacket for damage before placing the assembly in service.
