Please Note: All Wire Condo's are custom manufactured to your specifications. We are a small business located in Central Pennsylvania. Wire Condo's will take at a minimum of one week to produce, assemble and get shipped. Some model customization choices take up to 300 hours just to manufacturer (U1K-XL). Your wire caddy order will be placed in a queue for manufacturing in the order in which they were received. We have taken steps to expand manufacturing capacities, but demand is constantly increasing. If you are concerned on the timing, please contact us for a rough idea on when you may receive your order. -------------------------------------------
The U1K-XL Wire Condo is an expandable modular bonsai wire caddy with many configurations and an ever evolving list of add-ons. The U1K-XL is the most versatile caddy we sell and works with all wire sizes we have encountered (with the appropriate size spool core). The condo utilizes three modules that consist of two slots, each slot holds a spool, each spool holds up to 1kg rolls of aluminum wire and/or Adams/McKinney, Russell Holder III, Bonsai By Fields or Natures Way copper Wire. Max total roll outer diameter is 8".
The U1K-XL currently is only available in one configuration. It can hold up to six kilo spools of wire up to 2 3/8" wide (all wire that we know of). The expandable spool cores, available in several sizes , fit most wire core openings of aluminum bonsai wire and will work on the above mentioned copper wire. The spools are individually loaded so you don't need to take the entire caddy apart to reload wire.
- Fits most aluminum (up to 2 3/8" wide rolls) and the above mentioned copper wire with appropriate core. - Futureproof - Additional expandable wire modules and add-ons can be added in the future to meet your needs. - Easy & Fast load/unload swappable spools - Includes NEW spool retainer bars, easy to remove then snap back in place. - Wire Selection Wheels - Aluminum 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and Copper 20, 18, 16, 14, 12 and 10 - Multiple Size Expandable Cores Available To Fit Other Wire - Replaceable wire nozzles - Heavy duty handle included - Sturdy Rubber Feet that protect surfaces from scratches - Replacement parts are available
More Details: A single module will hold two 100g - 1kg rolls of wire. Each spool is removable and can be loaded with a new roll of wire by simply twisting it apart. Each spool has a pressure core that can fit many sizes of wire. The core can be compressed and wire slipped over. The core will tighten (pushing outward) on the wire and hold it in place. Once reloaded, the spool can be screwed back together (by hand) and seated back into it's base module.
The wire should be loaded with the wire coming from the back over top the spool and through the back of the replaceable nozzle then emerging to the front of the caddy.
One of the key benefits of Wire Condo Bonsai Wire Caddies is the removable spools. You can purchase extra spools separately and keep wire on them.
Check your wire core inside hole diameter prior to ordering your caddy. Please add your core hole size to the notes field at checkout if the standard 3.75" - 5" spool will not work for you.
Available Spool Core Sizes Standard - 3.75" - 5" Others if needed upon request.
All spools for the U1K-XL can handle wire rolls with a maximum width of 2 3/8" and a maximum diameter of 8"
