Malin Brass Breakaway Wire

Malin Brass Breakaway Wire is sold in a 1lb. spool. Brass breakaway safety wire is used to prevent vibration issues such as securing fire extinguisher safety pins, emergency landing gear releases, escape hatch actuating handles and switch covers.  It is intended to be broken if needed. Brass safety wire serves a specialized role in aircraft maintenance, particularly in applications where corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and a soft yet durable material are required. It is commonly used in securing non-critical components and assemblies in areas with minimal vibration or temperature extremes. Brass safety wire's malleability allows for easier handling and application, reducing the risk of damage to sensitive parts. Its resistance to tarnishing and moisture makes it suitable for use in environments prone to humidity or chemical exposure. While not recommended for high-stress or high-temperature areas, brass safety wire is a valuable option for securing electrical connections, instrument panels, or components where visibility and ease of adjustment are key factors. Proper usage ensures the safety and functionality of the aircraft while adhering to maintenance standards.
