Stainless Steel Tie Wire

Description

Ideal Products Stainless Steel Tie Wire is manufactured from T304 and T316 stainless steel alloys and conforms to ASTM A580-23. Designed for securing insulation on mechanical piping systems, it is commonly installed under vapor retarders or metal jacketing using proper galvanic isolation. Available in both 16 and 18 gauge options, the wire is suited for high-corrosion environments, including coastal and marine applications.
