Value Collection WS-MH-WIRE-140 Aircraft Cable 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WS-MH-WIRE-140 is a vinyl-coated stainless steel aircraft cable sold in 1-foot increments from a 1,000-foot coil. The bare wire diameter is 3/32 inch, and the overall coated diameter is 3/16 inch. It is constructed with a 7 x 7 strand core, meaning seven groups of seven individual wires twisted together, which gives this cable flexibility alongside a rated breaking strength of 920 pounds. The vinyl coating adds corrosion resistance and a smooth exterior. This type of cable is commonly cut to length and installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, riggers, and general tradespeople for a wide range of tension and support applications.

This aircraft cable is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where a flexible, corrosion-resistant tension member is needed. Typical uses include equipment hanging, control cable runs, safety cables for suspended HVAC units, seismic bracing supports, and similar rigging tasks. The coil format and per-foot pricing make it practical for shops and service vans that need to cut custom lengths on demand. A minimum order quantity of 100 feet applies per order.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard aircraft cable fittings, swage terminals, and ferrule-and-stop hardware sized for 3/16 inch coated or 3/32 inch bare cable diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of aircraft cable for rigging or equipment support should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable local codes and load requirements. Always de-energize or de-load the system before replacing or tensioning cable. Use proper swaging tools or crimping tools rated for the cable diameter — do not use substitute tools that may leave fittings underswaged. Inspect the full cable length for kinks, broken strands, or coating damage before placing the installation into service.
