The GMP Stainless Steel Lashing Wire is used in a lashing machine to lash a single aerial cable or a combination of cables to a supporting messenger strand. When estimating the length of lashing wire required for a cable run, add the following amounts to the length of the run for single lashing: Add 5% for cable up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter, Add 10% for cable up to 1-1/2 inches to 3 inches in diameter, and Add 20% for cable up to Over 3 inches in diameter.

Features (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

Features (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)
