Stainless-Steel Tie Wire
304 & 316 stainless tie wire for insulation and industrial field work
304 and 316 stainless steel tie wire for insulation blankets, lagging, removable covers, and general securement work. Use the matrix below to compare gauges, packaging formats, lead times, and SKUs.
Stainless-Steel Tie Wire
304 and 316 stainless tie wire are both supplied as standard in 16 ga (.062″) and 18 ga (.047″), soft annealed, with the same put-ups: 3.5 lb coil, 5 lb spool, 10 lb coil, 12 lb Serv-Pak and 25 lb coil. Stainless tie wire delivers long-term corrosion resistance for marine construction, architectural concrete, and chemical-plant insulation tying where standard black wire fails; 304 suits most work, and 316 is the choice for marine, coastal, and chloride-bearing chemical environments.
