Extra-Flexible Coated Small-Diameter Braided Wire—Not for Lifting

More wires per strand than other wire rope provides the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys. The nylon coating protects the wire from abrasion. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, this wire rope has good corrosion resistance.

Note: When attaching fittings to coated wire rope, the coating must be removed from the installation area.

Difficult-to-Bend Corrosion-Resistant Small-Diameter Braided Wire—Not for Lifting

1 x 7

This braided wire has a stiff construction for use as bracing and guy wires. This stainless steel braided wire can handle corrosive environments, such as areas that are frequently washed down. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut.

Extra-Flexible Chemical-Resistant Coated Small-Diameter Braided Wire—Not for Lifting

More wires per strand than other wire rope gives this wire rope the flexibility required for repeat bending over drums and pulleys. For use in the most demanding environments, the FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) coating on this braided wire has excellent chemical and weather resistance. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, this wire rope has good corrosion resistance.

Note: When attaching fittings to coated wire rope, the coating must be removed from the installation area.
