KYA TW1061T 19 gauge rebar tie wire is a twin-wire reel configuration produced for professional automatic rebar tying applications using the MAX RB441T TwinTier wire format. The standard wire has a nominal 1.0mm diameter, approximately 33–34m per strand (66–68m total twin-wire length), a reel weight of approximately 0.45kg, and an estimated output of 170–260 ties per reel depending on rebar combination and tying conditions.
The TwinTier system feeds two wire strands simultaneously and forms a single-wrap tie around the rebar intersection. KYA offers black annealed, electro-galvanized and coated wire configurations for different concrete reinforcement and corrosion-protection requirements.
This page is intended for buyers sourcing replacement-format TW1061T reels for existing RB441T equipment. Reel dimensions, wire diameter, coating, feed characteristics and actual machine operation should be confirmed before volume use.

Tie output is not a fixed quantity. Reel consumption changes with rebar size, the number of bars at the intersection, wire material, tension setting and tool operation.
TW1061T identifies a 19GA twin-wire consumable format used with MAX TwinTier rebar tying systems. Unlike traditional single-wire automatic tying systems, the TwinTier mechanism feeds two wires during the tying cycle and forms the connection using one wrap.
The wire itself does not create the tool's tying speed. Tying speed is determined by the rebar tying machine, its dual-wire feed, wire pull-back, bending mechanism and operating conditions.
| Wire Family | Typical Wire Class | System | Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| TW1061T | 19GA / approximately 1.0mm | TwinTier twin-wire system | Used by RB441T-class TwinTier equipment and current TW1061T-family tools. |
| TW898 | 21GA class | Earlier conventional MAX rebar-tier wire system | Not the same consumable format as TW1061T TwinTier wire. |
Do not substitute TW898-series wire for a TW1061T TwinTier reel merely because both products are rebar tie wire. Wire diameter, reel geometry and feeding system differ.
Black annealed low-carbon steel wire is the general-purpose configuration for many concrete reinforcement applications. Annealing provides the ductility required for automatic twisting and forming during the tie cycle.
Black annealed wire should be selected where the project does not require a specific zinc or polymer corrosion-protection system.
Electro-galvanized wire adds a zinc coating over the steel surface. KYA's published material information lists an approximately 5-micron zinc coating for this configuration.
Use galvanized wire where additional corrosion resistance is required compared with black annealed steel, while confirming the coating requirement for the concrete system and exposure conditions.
Polyester-coated tie wire is available for applications where a cushioned polymer surface or additional separation between the tie wire and reinforcement is required.
This configuration is commonly considered for epoxy-coated reinforcement and projects that specify coated tie wire. Confirm coating thickness and finished wire diameter before ordering because coated-wire feed dimensions can differ from standard bare or galvanized wire.
For procurement reference, the original MAX TwinTier consumable family includes standard annealed, electro-galvanized, poly-coated and stainless-steel TW1061T variants. Their published wire dimensions are useful when checking replacement-reel requirements.
| MAX Reference | Wire Type | Published Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| TW1061T | Annealed Wire | 19GA / 1.0mm |
| TW1061T-EG | Electro-Galvanized Wire | 19GA / 1.0mm |
| TW1061T-PC | Poly-Coated Wire | 19GA class / 1.1mm published finished diameter |
| TW1061T-S | Stainless Steel Wire | 19GA / 1.0mm |
The table above is an original-equipment format reference. KYA replacement wire is an independent product and should be checked against the exact reel and tool configuration before use.
KYA lists approximately 170–260 ties per reel for this replacement-format TW1061T wire. The number should be treated as a working range rather than a fixed output.
| Factor | Effect on Reel Consumption |
|---|---|
| Rebar Diameter | Larger bar combinations require more wire per tie. |
| Number of Bars | Three- or four-bar intersections consume more wire than smaller two-bar intersections. |
| Wire Type | Coated-wire dimensions can affect reel output and feeding characteristics. |
| Tool Setting | Tie tension and operating setup can affect wire consumption. |
The RB441T belongs to the TwinTier tool family and uses the TW1061T 19GA reel format rather than the earlier TW898 21GA consumable family.
When evaluating a replacement reel, confirm the actual reel dimensions, spool body, twin-wire feed position, wire diameter, coating thickness, wire ductility and consistent payout. A matching nominal gauge alone does not guarantee reliable feeding.
RB441T remains relevant to contractors and rental fleets that continue operating existing TwinTier equipment. The TW1061T 19GA wire family also continues to be used by newer TwinTier platforms.

Automatic rebar tying is widely used in precast plants where repeated reinforcement intersections must be secured before concrete placement. Twin-wire reels support continuous automatic tying while reducing manual wire handling.
Select black annealed, galvanized or coated tie wire according to reinforcement type, concrete specification and environmental requirements.
TW1061T-format wire is used to hold reinforcing steel intersections in position during reinforcement assembly for foundations, walls and other reinforced concrete work.
Tie wire positions reinforcing steel during assembly; it should not be represented as a substitute for the structural reinforcement itself. Rebar arrangement, lap requirements and concrete design remain governed by the project specification.
Road and bridge reinforcement often involves a large number of repeated bar intersections. Automatic tying equipment can improve production consistency and reduce repetitive manual tying work when the tool and wire are suitable for the reinforcement configuration.
Where epoxy-coated reinforcement or a specified corrosion-protection system is used, select the wire coating required by the project rather than substituting an uncoated wire without approval.
Automatic rebar tying wire must combine sufficient tensile strength with enough ductility to feed, bend, twist and tighten without premature fracture.
For replacement wire, consistency can be as important as nominal strength. Excessive hardness, variable diameter, uneven coating or poor reel winding can affect wire feeding and tying performance.
TwinTier tools use a wire pull-back and bending mechanism to control the amount of wire around the intersection and form a relatively compact completed tie.
Tie height and wire consumption are characteristics of the complete tool, wire and rebar combination. They should not be attributed to the replacement wire alone or expressed as a fixed percentage unless tested under the specified conditions.

Discuss Your TW1061T Requirement
TW1061T is a 19GA twin-wire reel format used by TwinTier automatic rebar tying systems. KYA-TW1061T is KYA's replacement-format tie wire for buyers operating this type of equipment.
The standard KYA specification is 19 Gauge / approximately 1.0mm. Coated wire should be confirmed separately because the finished outside diameter can differ.
KYA lists approximately 33–34m per strand, or about 66–68m total (approximately 215ft) across both wire strands.
The current KYA specification lists approximately 0.45kg per reel.
KYA lists approximately 170–260 ties per reel. Actual output changes with rebar dimensions, number of bars, wire configuration and machine settings.
The fast tying cycle is a characteristic of the TwinTier tool's dual-wire feeding mechanism. The tie wire is the consumable used by that system; it should not independently be described as doubling machine speed.
TwinTier tools are designed to form a relatively short tie profile using their wire bending and pull-back mechanisms. Tie height depends on the complete tool, wire and rebar combination and should not be stated as a fixed percentage without corresponding test data.
No. KYA-TW1061T is a KYA replacement-format product. MAX-branded TW1061T consumables are original MAX products. Buyers should distinguish between original-equipment wire and third-party replacement wire when ordering.
KYA produces this reel around the RB441T TW1061T format, but third-party replacement wire should be checked in the actual machine before high-volume use. Reel geometry, wire diameter, coating and feed characteristics all affect operation.
No. TW898 belongs to a different rebar-tie wire system and gauge class. RB441T-class TwinTier equipment uses the TW1061T 19GA twin-wire format.
RB441T has been superseded by newer TwinTier equipment, but many existing tools remain in professional use. Replacement-wire demand therefore continues for installed RB441T machines.
The current RB443T platform uses the TW1061T 19GA wire family. This provides a useful consumable-format reference, but KYA replacement-reel operation should still be confirmed with the exact tool before bulk use.
Black annealed wire is a general-purpose ductile steel tying wire. Electro-galvanized wire adds zinc corrosion protection. Polyester-coated wire adds a polymer layer and is considered where coated reinforcement or additional surface separation is specified.
Polyester-coated tie wire can be selected for applications involving epoxy-coated reinforcement where coated tie wire is required. Confirm the project's reinforcement and tie-wire specification before use.
Electro-galvanized tie wire may be selected where the project requires additional corrosion protection, but road and bridge projects can have specific reinforcement and coating requirements. Follow the project specification rather than selecting the wire solely by application name.
KYA currently lists approximately 55,800–81,300 psi / 385–560 MPa. Confirm the actual material specification and production batch when tensile properties are part of the purchasing requirement.
Annealed low-carbon steel provides the ductility needed for feeding, bending and twisting around rebar without making the wire unnecessarily brittle.
TwinTier equipment is used for selected floor-heating and pipe-fastening work. Confirm that the tool, wire and tying method are appropriate for the pipe or tubing material before use.
Electrical conduit fastening is an established application for TwinTier equipment where the tie configuration and tool capacity are suitable. Avoid over-tightening or damaging the conduit.
Check reel installation, wire-tip condition, wire diameter, coating thickness, spool alignment, magazine cleanliness and the machine's wire guide. Stop using the reel if repeated feeding problems or wire breakage occur.
Yes. Check reel fit, feeding, completed tie shape, twisting consistency and wire breakage in the actual rebar-tier and common bar combinations before high-volume production use.
Provide the rebar-tier model, required wire material or coating, typical rebar combinations, application, quantity, packaging requirement and destination market.
