what size wire needed 12 2 12 3 or 14 2 or 14 3 UF ?

wire size should be #12 on a 20 amp. circuit or #14 on a 15 amp. circuit . wire can be individual thhn if in conduit or uf cable if direct buried.

If you're installing the low voltage side and it's under 100 ft 12-2 is sufficient.

hello Ed, wiring is depended on how many lights and how far. I use 12/2, because I am running up to 75 feet away, running about 15 lights.short distant would be fine for 14/2 wire. Brent

I would use no smaller than 16 gauge wire. You could go a low a 12 but this wire is thick and harder to hide. The thoughts have always been the smaller the gauge(thicker) the better .

Hi Matt, 18gauge wire is safe up to 48ft long. Longer runs over 48ft will require 16gauge. The 14 gauge is a hype and I dont use it unless im running 100ft. Hope this helps.

It will actually accept up to #12, although stranded wire always has a slightly larger diameter for the same AWG. Remember that although solid #14 is safe for up to 32 amps free-air/17 enclosed (stranded slightly higher, all values conservative), the relay contacts are rated at 10 amps.

I'm a electrician 14 guage is fine it doesn't pull any amps bring led. You will be fine with 14 guage wire

I used it with 14 gauge wire. I don't know if they would work with thicker wire or not but you could certainly use them with either 14 or 16 awg.

There is no way this is 18 AWG or 14 AWG wire. I measured it with a micrometer and it is around 0.52mm (24 AWG). It should not be used with more than 0.57 amps.

Standard 3-prong. 120v extension cord. 12awg is the wire gauge and is recomended if you use a 100ft cord, but a lot of the 100 ft cords are only 14 awg or 16. A 14 would do just fine.

The wire size is determined by the amount of power you will be putting through it. The switch is rated for 15 amps which would be 14 guage wire. If you use smaller wire make sure that it can handle the amount of power you are putting through it. Google image search "a/c wire gauge" for easy to use charts to determine this.

I am not sure what size to use, but if you used a 14 gauge wire, I think you should be fine.

It should work as long as it's stranded wire and not solid 14 might be a little tough

I actually used 16 gauge wire. I think 14 would work; it would depend on whether 14 will fit in the speaker wire recepticles. No problem at all with the 16 gauge.

Actually #12 wire should be used with a 20Amp breaker. NEC only requires #14 to be used with a 15 amp circuit breaker. So #14 wire should be sufficient

you should use 12 gauge wire, but you could use 16 gauge if not running long distance.

hello, there is not problem useing 12/2 wire, it is also good useing that size for the futer if you want to use higher watt lights.you should use larger wire if you havea long runs.Brent

What is the best wire for these speakers 12 or 14 gage.my sony receiver puts out 135 per channel.
