PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MC-WS08 overview
Quick answer
MC-WS08 is a single-use meter seal with a rectangular ABS body and a metal clip, used with 0.7 mm (0.03 in) stainless steel wire in a 20 cm standard length (custom lengths available; the wire can be loose or attached). The flat body face takes a large logo, serial number or barcode, which makes it popular with utilities that print their name on every seal. Thread the wire through the meter and the body to close it; remove with cable cutters. MOQ is 5,000 pieces, packed 2,000 per carton.
How it locks
The wire is captured inside the ABS body by the locking mechanism and cannot be withdrawn without cutting.
Not suitable when
- inspectors need to see the wire through the body – choose a clear PC model such as MC-WS01 or MC-WS05;
- the order is below 5,000 pieces;
- the meter holes are smaller than the 0.7 mm wire.
Compared with similar models
- MC-WS01 / MC-WS05 – twist meter seals with transparent polycarbonate bodies.
- MC-WS07 – twist meter seal with a 26 × 16 mm marking flag.
