Durable 16 Gauge Galvanized Iron Wire for Construction and Crafting Tie Wire

G.I. wires (Galvanized Iron) are highly versatile and durable, ideal for a range of applications including fencing, construction, and general use. Coated with a layer of zinc, these wires offer excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity and reliable performance in various environments.
GI Wire is cut and then used to tie steel bar structures (like rebar cages and stirrups) in place before pouring concrete. Its bendable nature makes it easy to make knots around steel bars. Recommended sizes are #16 or #18 wire gauge.
The galvanized coating provides excellent protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. Strength and Durability: The high-quality mild steel construction ensures that the wires are strong and resistant to wear and tear.
Tie Wire is a galvanized 16.5 gauge pliable metal wire intended to secure pvc conduit in trenches before pouring concrete. It is also used in drop ceiling applications and in securing rebar.
 

Start by overlapping the ends of the 2 pieces of rebar by at least 2-3 in (5.1-7.6 cm). Feed the wire under both rebar pieces where they overlap. Twist the wire ends together twice by hand against the rebar. Grip your pliers right on the existing twist, squeeze tightly, and spin the pliers all the way around 4-5 times.
