Description
Overview:
This Galvanised Locking Wire 1.6mm x 0.5kg Reel is a zinc-coated steel wire designed to stop fasteners from backing off under vibration. Made from durable galvanised steel with a 1.6mm wire diameter, it is intended for threading through drilled bolt heads, castellated nuts and other fixings to create a positive mechanical lock. The galvanised finish provides reliable resistance to rust, making it suitable for outdoor use and damp conditions. Strong yet workable, it twists neatly with pliers and cuts cleanly with standard side cutters. Well suited to maintenance on construction plant, agricultural machinery, workshop equipment and garden machines, it helps keep critical hardware secure on engines, pumps, generators, mowers and guards. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 705 150.
Key Features:
- 1.6mm wire diameter for robust safety wiring across medium to heavy-duty fasteners
- Galvanised (zinc-coated) steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and long service life
- 0.5kg reel for practical storage, controlled feed, and reduced wastage on site
- Strong yet flexible: forms tight, even twists without excessive effort
- Consistent round profile for predictable performance and tidy installation
- Suitable for use with lockwire pliers; easy to cut with common hand tools
- Helps prevent loosening from vibration, shock and thermal cycling
- Ideal for drilled bolt heads, castellated nuts, turnbuckles and fixings
- Reliable in outdoor and harsh working environments
- Low-maintenance, clean galvanised finish reduces snagging and abrasion
Typical Applications:
Securing bolts, nuts and screw fasteners on plant, machinery and garden equipment exposed to vibration. Locking castellated nuts, turnbuckles, exhaust clamps, sprocket fixings, guards and brackets. Useful during servicing for tagging or bundling components, and for temporary ties where a positive mechanical restraint is required.
Also known as:
Safety wire, lockwire, lock wire, tie wire, bailing wire, seizing wire, binding wire, mechanic's wire, retaining wire, twist wire. These names describe the same purpose-built wire used to mechanically secure fasteners and prevent unintended loosening.
