Nichrome wire shaped to pin element coils.
Measuring 40mm in length and having a span from 6mm to 10mm (bendable), these sturdy pins are designed to support unruly elements that might have come out from their grooves.
Pins are also referred to as wedges, hoops, U rings, or jump wires.
Method
Simply using a pin hammer, tap gently into fresh holes either side of an element wire.
The wire is made of the same material as kiln elements so this product can tolerate high temperatures of up to 1400°C. Other uses - support hooks for wares which need to be hanging in a firing.
