Stainless Steel Wire Rope

Having sold over 2,000,000 metres of Stainless Steel wire through our online store we know and trust what we sell.

Each wire is available by the metre or in a 305m roll. If you require 150m for example select the metre listing and add 150 as the quantity. You will receive 1 continuous length. 

Stainless wire rope comes in 3 main constructions (also referred to as the lay). 1x19 (one by nineteen), 7x7 and 7x19. The numbers indicate the number of strands used in the twist of the wire. For example, 7x7 is made up of 7 thin wires twisted together and then 7 of these twisted together again. In total there are 49 individual wires twisted to make the one strand of stainless steel wire. The more strands that are twisted, the more flexible the wire becomes.

1x19: Available in sizes from 1mm up to 10mm. Most commonly used with hydraulically swaged fittings. This is the stiffest wire available for balustrading. This wire is not suitable for Thimble and Ferrule type swages.

7x7: Available in sizes from 0.6mm to 12mm. This is the most common wire used for DIY balustrading. It is a semi-flexible wire and is suitable for use with Thimble and Ferrule fittings as well as hydraulically swaged fittings.

7x19: Available in sizes from 1.6mm to 12mm. This is the most flexible wire available. It is usually used for cranes and winches.

We also sell single strand wire in 304 grade stainless steel. This is an aircraft grade tie wire.
