Klein Tools 56253 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What characters are included in the Klein Tools 56253 wire marker book?
The 56253 book carries letters A through Z, numbers 0 through 15, plus (+), minus (-), and a forward slash (/). That covers phase and circuit lettering, conductor numbering up to 15, and polarity marking for DC or control work. There are 10 pages in the book.
2) Will these wire markers stick to oily or dirty wire?
That is what the 56253 is built for. It uses a strong tack adhesive specifically for lasting adhesion on oily wires, so it holds in panels and machine rooms where conductors have pulling lube or oil film on them.
3) How big are the labels, and will they work on small gauge wire?
Each marker measures 0.2 by 1.5 inches with larger easy-to-read print, and the label can be split lengthwise for thin wire. So you can use the full label on larger conductors and a split half on small gauge control or thermostat wire without the marker overlapping itself.
4) What material are Klein 56253 wire markers made of, and will they tear when wrapped?
The markers are a vinyl coated white cloth, 8 mils thick, with black print. Cloth backing conforms around a conductor instead of cracking the way a stiff film does, and the vinyl coating keeps the printing legible after handling.
5) Can I tear out just part of a page to carry in my pouch?
Yes. Every page in the 56253 is perforated so a third, two-thirds, or the whole page detaches cleanly. Pull just the characters you need for the circuit you are tagging and leave the rest of the book in the truck.
6) What Klein part number do I order for the black letter, number and symbol wire marker book?
Order Klein Tools 56253. That is the manufacturer part number for the wire marker book with black print on white markers covering letters, numbers and symbols, and there is only one configuration of it, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
7) Can I number more than 15 conductors with this book?
The printed numerals stop at 15, but the book includes a forward slash, so multi-digit and compound marking is done by combining characters, for example 2/1 or pairing a letter with a number for phase and circuit identification. If you routinely tag runs numbered well past 15, plan on using several markers per conductor or a book with a higher number range.
8) Is the Klein wire marker book small enough to fit in a shirt pocket or tool pouch?
It is, easily. The book runs 5.5 inches long by 3.328 inches wide and 0.125 inch thick, and weighs 1.6 oz (45 g). That is shirt-pocket size, which is why electricians keep one on them rather than in the gang box.
