Description
Pre-cut to 400 mm lengths, Procat tie wire 1.2 mm x 400 mm 5 kg is designed for a wide range of tying needs on building sites. The 1.2 millimetre wire thickness and pre-cut length make it a ready-to-use option for repetitive fastening work, which eliminates the need to cut wire by hand during the work.
This pre-cut tying wire, also called rebar tie wire, is an established choice for joining reinforcing bars and reinforcement mesh. The 400 millimetre length gives enough reach around the crossing points of standard-size reinforcement, allowing the wire to be tightened optimally with a separate rebar tying hook.
The five-kilogram bundle keeps the wire in a controlled form during transport and storage. The bundle is shaped so that pulling out individual wires during tying is smooth. The tie wire is supplied cut to length in a form that stops individual wires from tangling and minimises possible material waste.
Besides reinforcement work, the product is suitable for bundling various materials such as pipes, timber or metal profiles. The soft-annealed metal wire adapts to the shape of the material being tied and allows a tight fastening, so the structures stay in place during concrete pouring or transport.
Intended use:
- Tying reinforcement: Fastening reinforcing bars, reinforcement mesh and stirrups to each other before the concrete is poured, to ensure a strong structure.
- Bundling materials: Gathering pipes, mouldings, profiles and other long products together to make moving and storing them on site easier.
- General fastening: Mechanically tying temporary structures, tarpaulins, fences and scaffolding in various environments.
Package contents:
- 1 x Procat tie wire 1.2 mm x 400 mm 5 kg bundle
Features:
- Pre-cut: The 400 mm length removes the wire cutting step, which speeds up the repetitive tying process significantly.
- Wire thickness: The 1.2 mm diameter gives an optimal balance between flexibility and tensile strength for tying reinforcement.
- Pack size: The 5 kg bundle contains a generous amount of wire even for large sites and is easy to move between workstations.
- Flexibility: The material is treated to twist flexibly and tightly when a rebar tying hook is used.
Technical specifications:
- Wire diameter: 1.2 mm
- Wire length: 400 mm
- Pack weight: 5 kg
- Pack type: Bundle
- Material type: Steel wire
Procat tie wire 1.2 mm x 400 mm 5 kg instructions for use:
Using pre-cut tie wire requires a rebar tying hook or a mechanical tying tool to achieve maximum tightness. Take the number of individual wires you need from the bundle. Fold the 400 mm wire double into a loop and pass it under the bars or other materials to be tied. Push the tying hook through the loop of the wire, pull the free ends of the wire over the hook and turn the hook until the wire twists tightly around the materials. Avoid overtightening so that the wire does not break under the tension. Store the bundle in a dry place to prevent surface oxidation.
Warnings:
- The ends of cut steel wire are sharp; always wear cut-resistant protective gloves when handling it.
- Tightening the wire with a tool causes a risk of eye injury if the wire breaks; wear suitable safety glasses.
- The product can cause puncture wounds or scratches if the bundle or tied structures are handled without protection.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- How many wires are there in a 5 kg bundle? The exact number of wires depends on the density of the wire, but for 1.2 mm x 400 mm steel wire, a 5 kilo bundle contains hundreds of individual wires.
- Can this wire be used in a rebar tying machine? This product is a pre-cut bundle, so it is intended for manual tying with a rebar tying hook, not for tying machines that need a wire coil.
- Does the wire rust in outdoor use? Uncoated steel wire oxidises when exposed to moisture and weather. Inside a concrete pour, however, this surface rust does not weaken the tie.
Recycling instructions:
Used steel wire and cut offcuts should go to metal collection. Any packaging material or strapping around the product is sorted as plastic or mixed waste according to local waste regulations, depending on the material.
