Description
KOS Stainless Steel Wire Rope is manufactured from 316 marine grade stainless steel to specification 1.4401, a material recognised worldwide for its superior quality and proven resistance in harsh marine environments.
Built in a 1×19 construction, this cable is the most popular choice for general applications thanks to its combination of low stretch and high breaking load. Compared with other stainless steel wire ropes, the 1×19 construction delivers greater strength and reduced elasticity, though it is less flexible as a result. This makes it particularly well suited for yacht standing rigging, architectural structural rigging, and balustrading projects where strength, durability, and a clean aesthetic are essential.
Ropes & Wire are committed to offering the highest quality at the best value, and will beat any like-for-like quote. Contact us today to discuss your standing rigging, architectural, or balustrading requirements.
