Description

Quelfire’s 1.6mm Galvanised Steel Wire is supplied in a 500g pack, providing approximately 31 metres of strong wire wound on a reel for easy use and handling. The fact that it is galvanised means that it is resistant to corrosion, making it a durable option. 

The primary use of the steel wire fixing is to secure the QFFDW Foil-faced Ductwrap Insulation around services, such as cables and pipes. This ensures it is held firmly in place to provide a reliable installation

Quelfire Galvanised Steel Wire is generally used* to secure the QFFDW Foil-faced Rock Fibre Insulation around penetrations.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Fixings

How do I choose the right fixing?

The correct fixing will depend on the substrate you are fixing into, the load it needs to support, and the environment it will be used in. Always follow the requirements set out in the relevant tested installation detail.

Can I use the same fixings for all substrates?

No, different substrates (e.g. plasterboard, masonry, concrete, timber) require different types of fixings to ensure a secure hold.

Do I need special tools to install fixings?

Basic tools like screwdrivers or drills are often enough, but some fixings may require specific installation tools.
