KYA 16 gauge rebar tie wire is a pre-spooled black annealed steel wire designed for compatible 40V automatic rebar tying tools using the 1.6mm single-wire system. The featured reel has a nominal 1.6mm wire diameter, approximately 32m of wire and a net weight of approximately 0.5kg.
The KYA reel is intended as a compatible replacement consumable for Makita GRT01 and TR001G 16GA rebar tying systems. Tool compatibility depends on wire diameter, reel dimensions, hub geometry and feeding configuration, so the exact tying-tool model should be confirmed before ordering.
Black annealed steel provides the flexibility required for automatic feeding, wrapping and twisting while the heavier 16 gauge wire is intended for reinforcement applications requiring a thicker tie wire than common 19 or 21 gauge automatic tying systems.

The KYA reel is wound for automatic rebar tying rather than manual hand tying. During operation, the tying tool feeds the wire from the reel, wraps it around the reinforcement, cuts the required length and twists the wire to complete the tie.
The featured wire has a nominal diameter of 1.6mm. This is significantly thicker than common 0.8mm 21 gauge and 1.0mm 19 gauge automatic tie wire systems and therefore requires a tying tool specifically designed for 16 gauge wire.
Annealing gives low-carbon steel wire the flexibility required for automatic wrapping and twisting. Black annealed wire is commonly selected for general reinforced-concrete tying where a coated or stainless tie wire is not specified.
The wire is supplied on a reel designed for automatic feeding. The reel must fit correctly inside the tool and feed through the guide, feeding mechanism, cutter and twisting assembly without interference.
KYA currently lists approximately 32m of 1.6mm wire per reel with an approximate net weight of 0.5kg. Actual wire consumption per tie varies according to the reinforcement combination and the amount of wire required by the tying tool.
KYA source information lists both 30m and 32m per reel in different sections; confirm the exact wire length for the selected SKU before ordering.
KYA lists up to 65% greater tie strength compared with lighter-gauge wire. Actual tie performance depends on the tying tool, reinforcement combination and tie settings.
The maximum tie count is achieved only with smaller reinforcement combinations. Larger bars and multi-bar combinations require more wire per tie and therefore reduce the number of completed ties from one reel.
Makita GRT01 and TR001G are 40V XGT automatic rebar tying tools designed around 16 gauge annealed tie wire. KYA supplies this reel for buyers requiring a compatible 1.6mm replacement consumable for that tool platform.
The KYA product should not be represented as an original Makita accessory. When replacing Makita 1915N0-0 or another reel, compare the wire diameter, reel outside diameter, reel width, center hub and feed geometry before production use.
| Tool / System | Published Wire Type | KYA Buying Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Makita GRT01 | 16GA / 1.6mm annealed steel tie wire | Relevant target tool; confirm KYA reel geometry before substitution |
| Makita TR001G | 16GA / 1.6mm annealed tie wire | Relevant target tool; verify reel and feed dimensions |
| Makita 1915N0-0 | Original 16GA black annealed steel reel reference | Use as a compatibility reference only; KYA-1915N0-0 is a KYA replacement product |
| 19GA Twin-Wire Tools | Approximately 1.0mm twin wire | Not the same wire system |
| 21GA Rebar Tiers | Approximately 0.8mm single wire | Not compatible based on wire diameter and feed system |
Automatic tying-wire gauges belong to different tool systems and should not be treated as interchangeable. The tying machine is designed around a specific wire diameter, feed path and twisting mechanism.
| Wire Class | Typical Diameter | System Type |
|---|---|---|
| 16GA | 1.6mm | Heavy single-wire system such as GRT01 / TR001G |
| 19GA | Approximately 1.0mm | Common in modern twin-wire tying systems |
| 21GA | Approximately 0.8mm | Common in single-wire automatic rebar tiers |
Do not install a thinner or thicker tying wire in a machine unless the tool manufacturer specifies that diameter. Incorrect wire can affect feeding, cutting, twisting and completed tie quality.
Tie output depends strongly on the reinforcement combination. Smaller bars use less wire per completed tie, while larger bars and three- or four-bar combinations require longer wire loops.
KYA currently lists up to approximately 245 ties per reel as the maximum reference output. Buyers should use the actual reinforcement combination and tying-tool settings when estimating project wire consumption.
| Factor | Effect on Reel Output |
|---|---|
| Rebar Diameter | Larger rebar generally requires more wire per tie |
| Number of Bars | Three- and four-bar combinations can require longer wire loops than two-bar ties |
| Tie Strength Setting | Tool adjustment can affect completed tie formation and wire use |
| Reel Length | Available wire length determines the total number of possible ties |
| Machine Condition | Correct feeding, cutting and twisting help minimize wasted wire |

Reinforcing mesh tying where the tool specification permits
Tie wire holds reinforcing steel in position during assembly and concrete placement. Structural reinforcement performance is determined by the reinforcing design and concrete system rather than by treating tie wire as a load-bearing reinforcement component.
The featured product on this page is the black annealed steel configuration. KYA also lists galvanized and polyester-coated 16 gauge wire configurations within this product family. These should be specified separately according to project requirements and current availability.
| Wire Type | General Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Black Annealed | Featured configuration for general reinforced-concrete tying where uncoated annealed steel wire is permitted |
| Galvanized | Separate coated-steel option where additional surface corrosion protection is specified |
| Polyester-Coated | Separate polymer-coated configuration for projects requiring coated tie wire, subject to tool and project compatibility |
Do not assume that changing the wire coating leaves the finished diameter and feed behavior unchanged. Coated configurations should be checked against the tool's feed system before use.
When replacing an existing Makita or third-party 16GA reel, compare the complete consumable rather than only the gauge.
| Tool Model | GRT01 / TR001G or exact alternative tool model |
| Wire Gauge | 16 Gauge |
| Wire Diameter | 1.6mm |
| Wire Type | Black annealed, galvanized or coated as required |
| Reel Outside Diameter | Must fit the tool reel compartment |
| Reel Width | Must align correctly with the wire feed path |
| Hub Geometry | Must engage the reel holder correctly |
| Feed Performance | Wire must feed, curl, cut and twist correctly through the tool |
For accurate quotation and compatibility checking, provide the required quantity, tying-tool manufacturer and exact model, current wire-reel reference, reinforcement application and delivery destination.
For the featured configuration, specify KYA-1915N0-0, 16 Gauge, 1.6mm black annealed steel tie wire, approximately 32m and 0.5kg per reel.

The featured wire has a nominal diameter of 1.6mm and is supplied on an automatic tying-tool reel.
The current KYA product specification lists approximately 32m of wire per reel with an approximate reel weight of 0.5kg.
The featured configuration is black annealed steel wire.
KYA supplies this 1.6mm reel for the GRT01 16GA tying system. Confirm reel dimensions and feed geometry before using an aftermarket replacement consumable.
TR001G is also specified for 16 gauge annealed tie wire. Confirm that the KYA reel dimensions match the exact regional tool configuration before production use.
No. KYA-1915N0-0 is a KYA replacement tie-wire product identified for compatibility reference with the Makita 16GA tying platform. It should not be represented as an original Makita accessory.
KYA lists up to approximately 245 ties per reel as a maximum reference. Actual output decreases as the rebar combination becomes larger or requires more wire per tie.
Larger rebar combinations require a longer loop of wire around the reinforcement. More wire consumed per tie means fewer completed ties from the same reel.
No direct compatibility should be assumed. A 19GA twin-wire tool uses a different wire diameter, two-wire feed system and reel configuration.
No. A typical 21GA rebar tier uses approximately 0.8mm wire, while this product uses 1.6mm wire. The feed, cutter and twisting mechanisms are designed around different fastener systems.
The wire is supplied as a pre-spooled consumable for automatic tying machines. Bulk annealed tie wire is generally more practical when the application requires manual tying.
KYA currently lists galvanized and polyester-coated configurations within the 16GA wire family. Confirm the exact reel specification and current availability when a coated wire is required.
Use the tie-wire material specified for the reinforcement system. Projects using epoxy-coated rebar may require a coated tie wire rather than standard black annealed steel.
KYA currently lists 32 reels per carton for this 16GA product.
Compare the wire gauge, 1.6mm diameter, reel outside diameter, reel width, center hub, wire length, material and feed geometry. The replacement reel must fit and feed correctly through the specific tying tool.
Provide the required quantity, exact tying-tool model, existing wire-reel reference, required wire material and delivery destination. Reference KYA-1915N0-0 for this 16GA replacement configuration.
