Thomas & Betts WES-1214 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size wire will the Thomas & Betts WES-1214 wire markers wrap?
The WES-1214 self-laminating marker handles wire up to 15/32 inch outside diameter. The label itself is 1 x 2.25 inches, so the extra length past the 1 x .75 inch print area is the clear polyester tail that wraps back over the legend. If your conductor is larger than 15/32 inch, the tail won't make a full overlap and you need a longer marker.
2) Can I run WES-1214 marker sheets through a laser printer?
No. WES labels are built for standard dot matrix printers, and the WES-1214 is a dot-matrix printable style on 1 mil polyester. Sheets measure 9.5 x 9 inches for tractor-feed handling. For laser or thermal transfer output you need a marker made for that print method.
3) How many wire markers do I get per sheet and per pack?
Each WES-1214 sheet carries 24 markers, and the inner package is 25 sheets, so a pack gives you 600 labels. Full carton quantity is 750. Orders go in multiples of 25.
4) Will these labels survive in a damp mechanical room or around cutting oil?
The self-laminating design is exactly for that. A clear polyester overlay folds over the printed legend and shields it from oils, grease, water, chemicals, and airborne dirt, and the adhesive is a high-tack type for holding on wire insulation. The printing sits under the laminate, not on the exposed surface, so it won't smear or wipe off.
5) How much legend text can actually be printed on a WES-1214 marker?
Printable area is 1 x .75 inches per marker. That is enough for a short circuit number, panel and breaker ID, or a two-line device tag. The rest of the 1 x 2.25 inch label is the clear wrap tail and carries no print.
6) Do I need to do a test print before running a full pack of these markers?
A test template ships with each 25 pack, so you can check alignment and feed on your dot matrix printer before committing a sheet of 24 markers. Worth using, since misaligned print on self-laminating labels lands the legend outside the 1 x .75 inch window.
7) Are Thomas & Betts WES-1214 markers RoHS compliant for a spec job?
Yes, the WES-1214 marker is RoHS compliant, which covers the usual restricted-substance line item on institutional and government submittals.
8) How is the WES-1214 sold, by the sheet or by the box?
Unit of measure is each, with a 25 order multiple, so you buy in blocks of 25 sheets. Shipping weight works out to 2.38 lbs per 100 sheets, and the carton measures 10.25 x 10.25 x 7.5 inches.
9) Is the material on WES sheet markers the same as Thomas & Betts WPR roll markers?
Yes. The WES-1214 uses the same 1 mil polyester as the WPR rolls, so a shop that standardizes on WPR roll stock gets a matching label face and durability when it needs sheet-fed markers instead.
