Q:I have about a 20' run from my truck battery to the back of the bed to install a dedicated 12v 15 amp outlet for a diesel heater. Can this wire be used for that?

Answer This Question

A:  No. You want to get wire with insulation jacket that is Gasoline and Oil resistant. It will be printed on the wire insulation along with the AWG wire size. Look at the photo I uploaded and see that the wire is labeled.

        Q:Grass yard? Anyone have experience burying the 12/2 low voltage wire within / under a grass yard? I was thinking of digging a shallow 1ft. deep trench from my shed (electricity source and place for my Transformer) to new spotlights. Any feedback on that?

        Answer This Question

        A:  We cannot advise on the exact installation due to local regulations or codes being different. However we can confirm that this product is designed for direct burial underground. You will need to consult a local resource in your area (electrician, inspector, etc) or research online for the proper installation practice to ensure compliance.

            Answer This Question

            A:  12-gauge is a larger conductor with a higher strand count, and subsequently capable of handling a higher ampacity. 16-AWG has 26 Strands and a Max Ampacity of 13. 12-AWG has 65 Strands and a Max Ampacity of 20.

              Answer This Question

              A:  Yes, the Cerrowire Landscape Wire is rated to 150-Volt, so installing those as specified by code should be fine.

              by|Mar 1, 2022

                A:  Only if the lights are powered using Low Voltage (12 to 15 Volt) power supply. This 12/2 can also be buried without conduit but should be inside conduit when exiting the soil into the transformer. If the lights use line voltage (110V) then no!
