## How to use

1. Unspool approximately 18-24 inches of WCS .032 safety lock wire from the dispenser can. Ensure the wire is clean and free from kinks or damage before proceeding. — Prepare the Wire
2. Thread the wire through the holes of the fasteners you need to secure. Using safety wire pliers or a clamp tool, begin twisting the wire ends together tightly and consistently. — Thread and Twist
3. Continue twisting until a secure lock is formed, ensuring the wire is taut but not brittle. Trim any excess wire, leaving a small pigtail to be bent back and secured against the main twist to prevent snagging. — Secure and Trim

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel wire?

304 stainless wire offers strong general corrosion resistance and suits most indoor and dry applications, while 316 adds molybdenum for superior resistance in marine, coastal, and chemical environments. Choose the grade that matches your exposure conditions. This WCS wire is T302/304 grade.

### How do I know which gauge or diameter to order?

Check the product's stated diameter in millimetres or AWG and match it to your project requirement. This WCS wire is 0.032 inches (0.81 mm). Thinner wire bends easily for tying and mesh work, while thicker wire holds tension and structural loads better.

### Is this WCS safety lock wire suitable for Indian conditions?

Yes, the T302/304 stainless steel composition provides excellent resistance to rust and oxidation, making it suitable for humid, marine, outdoor, and high-temperature Indian environments. Its compliance with aviation and industrial standards ensures reliability for critical applications.
