Eastpenn 23453 Xlpe Automotive Wire 14 Awg 100 Ft Blue

Product Description

The EASTPENN 23453 is a 14 AWG cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated automotive wire supplied in a 100-foot length and finished in blue. XLPE insulation resists heat, moisture, abrasion, and chemical exposure better than standard PVC, making it well-suited for underhood and chassis wiring applications where conditions are demanding. The 14 AWG conductor handles moderate current loads typical of accessory circuits, lighting runs, and control wiring. Automotive electricians and upfitters select this wire when a durable, flexible insulation is required over standard thermoplastic wire.

This wire is used in automotive, light truck, fleet, and specialty vehicle wiring projects where XLPE insulation is specified. It is appropriate for engine bay runs, trailer wiring, accessory installations, and similar low-voltage DC circuit work. The blue jacket aids circuit identification in multi-wire harness builds. The 100-foot spool length suits both single-vehicle jobs and small-batch harness fabrication.

Key Features

• Cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides superior heat and chemical resistance versus standard PVC
• 14 AWG conductor size handles typical automotive accessory and lighting circuit loads
• 100-foot length suitable for single-vehicle installations or short harness runs
• Blue jacket supports circuit identification in multi-wire assemblies
• Flexible construction allows routing through tight bends and grommets

Compatibility

Designed for general automotive and light vehicle 12-volt DC wiring applications where cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire at 14 AWG is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive electrician or upfitter familiar with vehicle wiring practices. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any wiring work to prevent shorts or accidental circuit activation. Use properly rated connectors, terminals, and inline fuses appropriate for the circuit load and conductor size. Route and secure wire away from sharp edges, moving parts, and heat sources, using grommets wherever wire passes through metal panels.
