Bare Copper bare10solsdmr 10 Awg Solid Bare Copper Wire

Product Description

The BARE COPPER bare10solsdmr is a 10 AWG solid soft drawn bare copper conductor supplied in a 5000-foot length cut to order. Bare copper wire in solid configuration is the standard choice for grounding electrode conductors, bonding jumpers, and direct-burial grounding applications in residential and commercial electrical systems. The solid strand construction provides a consistent cross-section and low-resistance path to ground. With an outer diameter of 0.1019 inches and a weight of 31.4 pounds per thousand feet, this conductor meets the dimensional expectations tradespeople rely on for conduit fill calculations and reel management on larger jobs.

This conductor is well suited for licensed electricians working on grounding and bonding systems in both new construction and retrofit projects. Typical applications include grounding electrode system installations per NEC Article 250, equipment bonding, lightning protection bonding, and utility service entrance grounding. The cut-to-length format makes it practical for larger commercial or industrial runs where standard packaged lengths fall short. It is also used in pool and spa bonding grids by electricians following NEC Article 680 requirements.

Key Features

• 10 AWG solid conductor — consistent cross-section for low-resistance grounding paths
• Soft drawn copper — flexible enough for routing through conduit or direct burial
• 0.1019-inch outer diameter — compatible with standard conduit fill calculations
• 5000-foot length — suited for large commercial and industrial grounding projects
• Bare finish — no insulation, appropriate for grounding, bonding, and electrode conductor use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10 AWG solid bare copper grounding conductor for use in conduit, direct burial, or exposed grounding and bonding installations per applicable NEC requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 250 and any applicable local amendments. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage with a calibrated meter before terminating grounding conductors at panels, electrode systems, or bonding points. Use listed mechanical connectors, lugs, or exothermic welding methods appropriate for the connection point and burial conditions. Bare copper in direct-burial applications should be protected from physical damage per code where required.
