Can you use this with 20 gauge wire?

It would probably work fine with the existing crimp connector. To be sure, I might strip off a longer length of the 20ga, double it over and solder to make it fatter. However, be sure to not use a fuse higher rated than the capacity of your wire.

Sure. I believe this is 16 gage wire but you could use a red or blue crimp connector, or better yet, solder and heat shrink.

I think the wire I used is 18 gauge, but I'm confident that up to 16 gauge would slide in easily as well.

Yes you can, however, you need to know the basic wiring concepts. You will need 12 gauge wires, splice connectors, 3 prong plug and some basic tools. Good luck!

Yes. Mine was 18 or 20 gage solid wire. I was told stranded wire will not work because it carries a radio transmission. I have it around 5 acres and it works perfect.

I used 14 gauge, and it fits with plenty of room. Appears as if 12 gauge will work too. The trick is to have just enough wire coming out and over the edge to make a proper connection. Works like a charm.

Don't know why not. Its 12 gage wire. How many amps needed. will carry up to 20Amps. Need more go to #10 gage wire good up to 50 amps. THX Bill

I haven't tried it with 20 gauge, but it definitely looks like it would hold them tight enough as well.

You can fit 20 gauge on this belt. But you can honestly just buy some thing better. Just spend the extra buck and you will be happier.

You will need a minimum of 6 gauge wire, if the length of your wire is under 20 feet use 6 gauge and over 20 feet use 4 gauge wire. Great Product!

you don't have to use the same gauge wire in each terminal. 10 gauge will work fine.

No. It would not be a good idea because you would only have 20 amp protection for that circuit.

Yes. I have it on my 20 gauge. It does not completely connect (little space between), but is very close.

we believe it is 22 gauge, as we bought 20 gauge separately from the kit, andthat wire is larger

By using a 12 gauge cord you can easily run 100 feet of cord. If using a cheap 16 gauge cord (Most common type) keep it short. A 12 gauge wire is what also feeds your 20 amp receptacle in your house.

I bought two of these and they worked fine with the 18GA wire in my boat. They use a screw lug contact. I doubt if you'd get 16GA wire to fully fit into it, but i f you removed some of the strands, you could probably get enough into the contact to work well. But I'd say its meant for 18 or 20 GA wire.

Yes you can, they accept bare wire nicely, just pay attention to your polarity and hand tighten them down!

I have only used it on 18 to 22 gauge wire. I found a piece of romex in my shop. It is not heated and about d degrees f right now. It did not work very well I did not think. I gave it a few tries. some attempts were better than others but did not have good consistent result. Hope this helps.
