Stainless Steel Lashing Wire is used in your lasher to lash an aerial cable or combination of cables to a support-
ing strand.
GMP lashing wire uses a specially controlled annealing process yields a uniform, fine grain structure throughout wire
length and cross section for best results.
The wire Is available in a 430, 302, and 316 stainless steel alloy and is packaged as 6 coils per carton for your ordering
convenience.
Type 430 Stainless
• Low carbon, 17% chromium wire
• Suitable for general use and in ordinary atmospheric exposure
• Will acquire only a dark surface stain
• Specifically not recommended for use within 25 miles of salt water or industrial operations which emit pollutants
Type 302 Stainless
• 18% chromium, 8% nickel analysis
• This wire has excellent resistance to corrosion from industrial atmospheres
• Its higher tensile strength and breaking load are an added benefit
• A .038 in. diameter Type 302 wire provides strength equal to a .045 in. type 430 wire with better ductility (easier bending
and unwinding) and better elongation (less chance of wire breakage from stress)
Type 316 Stainless
• Modified 18-10 analysis containing approximately 2.5% molybdenum
• More resistant to the corrosive action of most chemicals, including chlorides and sulfides, than any other wire
• Particularly resistant to pitting and pin hole corrosion of the kind commonly caused by salt spray
• Its use provides the best insurance against failure under the most severe atmospheric conditions
