Product Information

Chose from our fantastic selection of Nuts, Bolts, Caphead Bolts, Screws and Washers for your Model Airplane, Boat, Car, Train or Helicopter. It is usually made of stainless steel, but is also available in monel and inconel alloys for high temperature applications and copper for break-away applications. This application of witness wires is widely varied, and may cover a broad range of types of equipment and numerous situations. Locknuts such as Nyloc nuts and HARDLOCK nuts have the additional objective of preventing lost bolt tension.

Lock wire or safety wire is a type of positive locking device that prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration as well as other forces. When drilling a fastener, the choice of where to drill it depends on the type of fastener and to what it will be wired.Whether you need a new or used Trials bike or the latest boots, helmets, clothing or parts and accessories, we have everything you could want or need. A more simplistic application of safety wire, more commonly referred to as witness wiring, is the use of light gauge, single strand, copper wire to provide positive visual confirmation of the security or closure of specific equipment within the aerospace industry.

We are also the UK and European distributor for Aircraft Spruce and Speciality, with whom we have been doing business with for over 25 years. One side of the tab is longer than the other with a small hole at the top, through which safety wire is threaded. citation needed] The user-friendly tooling guarantees a consistent installation each time it is used. High melting points so perfect for use around engines and other areas that get hot around a vehicle / machine 304 stainless steel Stainless steel annealed wire 0.If the fastener part to be secured does not come with a hole for the safety wire, one may need to be drilled. The single crossover provides the appropriate friction such that the wire cannot fall completely free of the equipment when broken. This property allows it to remain locked around an object, such as when it is passed through a small hole on a fastener, looped back upon itself and then twisted. To finish the job, use the special Wire Twisting Pliers from Laser Tools (part number 2722) and the stainless steel Safety Locking Wire, also from Laser Tools — part number 6869.

In addition we have distributorships for Aircraft Tool Supply, LP Aero Plastics, Falcon Gauge, Ceconite / Randolph and Shield Technology to name but a few! For all our parts such as fittings, oil coolers, fuel hoses and other parts excluding brake or clutch line kits we offer a 12-month warranty. The wire needed is long enough to reach from a fixed location to a hole in the removable fastener, such as a pin — a clevis fastener, sometimes a linchpin or hitch-pin through a clevis yoke for instance — and the wire pulled back upon itself, parallel to its other end, then twisted, a single end inserted through a fastener, and twisted again, possibly then anchored to a second fastener or other part, then twisted once again, having excess slack pulled relatively taut to be secure. Although primarily used in motor racing, using safety wire to secure components finds many applications in high performance and classic road cars also. We work very closely with our suppliers from across UK, Ireland and Europe to provide you with branded and own branded quality goods.

Common applications include the security of safety equipment such as fire extinguishers, and safety equipment bags, but also as an assurance that critical system switch covers remain in place, such as those associated with the application of fire suppression, or ejection systems. In addition to installing 3 times quicker than safety wire, Safe-T-Cable also produces a stronger and safer result. A cotter pin or a couple of loops of mousing wire through this hole serves the same purpose and secures the shackle in a closed position. The loose ends of the strand may be twisted in a pigtail fashion, or crimped with a lead seal, securing both strands as close to the closure as practical.

In addition, safety wire twisting is a standard, non-proprietary technique, and tools and materials can be easily found, cheaply purchased, and mixed with other brands while still working properly (provided of course that all components are used properly and with the proper types of complementary components and tools, if not brands). There is another type of basic safety wire twister which is similar to a standard screwdriver, except that the tip has a small grasping mechanism to hold the ends of the wire while the technician turns the handle to twist the wire. When checking out, the correct up to date conversion will be applied by the secure gateway selected. The gauge of copper wire utilized in this application is such that the wire security can be overcome with minimal breaking force by hand, without damage to the equipment or persons, and once broken, remains affixed to the equipment without the introduction of foreign object damage (FOD). The advantage to this tool is its long and thin design, which can access hard-to-reach areas where one's hands or pliers do not fit.This is done by passing a couple of turns of mousing wire through the reach-hole provided for this purpose in the unthreaded end of the clevis pin and around the body of the shackle's hoop. Our company is the recognized leading distributor of stainless steel drawn wire in Europe, with yearly sales in excess of 6000 MTons. Although pre-drilled fasteners can be obtained, most fasteners to be secured start out never having been intended to be secured (e.
