Details of Stainless steel frame wire, 6 kg spool

Half a millimetre in diameter and 3,893 metres on the reel. That wires nearly two thousand Langstroth frames.

6 kg reel of food-grade stainless steel wire for wiring frames. Ø 0.5 mm with a tolerance of ±0.05 mm.

01 · HOW MANY FRAMES IT DOES

By format

The 6 kg give about 3,893 metres. Split by format, counting the usual number of wires in each:

FormatWiresApproximate frames
Layens2,006
Half Layens3,139
Third Layens3,672
Langstroth4 horizontal1,908
Langstroth3 horizontal2,432
Dadant brood4 horizontal1,854
Dadant super3 horizontal2,479

It is the figure that decides whether a reel lasts you one season or three.

02 · IT WANTS A BIGGER TRANSFORMER

What surprises people coming from galvanised

Stainless conducts worse than galvanised, so with the same transformer less current flows and the wire takes longer to heat. It is the standard complaint from anyone switching over, who assumes the reel is faulty.

The answer is not persistence, it is power: a transformer of 100 VA and 24 V — the one we carry — does the job, and a small one falls short and wears your patience out.

03 · WHY STAINLESS

What finishes off a galvanised wire

Galvanised lasts as long as the zinc coating is intact. The moment it is scratched passing through the eyelet or being tensioned, that is where the rust starts — and a honey house is damp.

Stainless has no coating to lose, and being food grade it adds nothing to the comb.

04 · TENSIONING IT

Like a guitar string

A slack wire lets the comb sag and is the one that lets go in the extractor. Tension it until it rings when you pluck it, and staple there.

And that is why this is a maintenance consumable, not just a new-frame one: rewiring an old frame recovers the woodwork and saves buying timber every season.
