1 6mm diameter pigtail wire

1.6mm diameter pigtail wire is a galvanized spring steel spiral used primarily for fixing insulation materials like mineral fibre boards.Description and Material1.6mm pigtail wire is typically made from galvanized sprung steel, which provides both strength and flexibility for secure fixing . The spiral design allows it to act as a screw-like fastener, holding insulation boards firmly against structural surfaces. The wire is corrosion-resistant due to galvanization, making it suitable for long-term use in building applications .ApplicationsFixing mineral fibre boards and other insulation materials in walls, ceilings, and ducting .Fire protection: Often used in fire-stopping systems and to secure insulation around structural steelwork .Rainscreen cavity barriers: Provides a reliable method to attach insulation in commercial and industrial buildings .Sizes and PackagingPigtail wires are available in various lengths while maintaining the 1.6mm diameter, including 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 75mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 140mm, 160mm, 180mm, and 200mm . They are commonly sold in packs of 10, 100, or 1000 pieces, depending on project requirements .InstallationThese wires are designed to be installed using a Pozidrive or Philips screwdriver bit, allowing for rapid and secure fixing of insulation materials . The spiral shape ensures a tight grip without the need for additional fasteners.Additional NotesThe wire is non-hazardous in normal use .It can be sourced from specialist suppliers such as CEVaC, Fixings Plus, and Firestopping Shop .For custom applications, 1.6mm wire is also available in various steel grades for machining or fabrication purposes . This makes 1.6mm pigtail wire a versatile and reliable solution for insulation and fire protection installations in both residential and commercial construction projects.
