Cord WMTW18BK 18 Awg Mtw Wire Black 500 Ft Spool

Product Description

The CORD WMTW18BK is an 18 AWG Machine Tool Wire (MTW) supplied on a 500-foot spool in black insulation. MTW is a stranded, flexible conductor designed for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment where oil and moisture resistance are required. The black jacket helps support color-coded wiring practices in control enclosures and panel builds. Electricians and panel builders use this wire when the application calls for a UL-recognized flexible conductor rated for machine tool and appliance wiring use.

This 18 AWG MTW wire is suited for use in machine tool control panels, motor control centers, and industrial equipment wiring applications. Its stranded construction supports routing through tight enclosure spaces and repeated flexing during service. The 500-foot spool length is appropriate for shop stock or larger panel build projects where a full reel quantity is practical.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded construction for flexibility in tight wiring runs
• MTW-rated insulation suitable for machine tool and control panel wiring
• Black jacket supports color-coded panel wiring practices
• 500-foot spool provides sufficient quantity for shop stock or production use
• Oil and moisture resistance appropriate for industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation conductor for use in machine tool control panels, industrial enclosures, and appliance wiring applications requiring 18 AWG MTW-rated wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the panel or equipment before pulling or terminating conductors. MTW wire is rated for specific voltage and temperature limits — confirm the application requirements against the wire rating before installation. Do not exceed the wire's rated current-carrying capacity as defined by NEC ampacity tables for the conductor size and insulation type.
