Eastpenn 23460 12 Awg Automotive Wire 100 Ft Red

Product Description

The EASTPENN 23460 is a 12 AWG single conductor automotive wire with plastic insulation, supplied in a 100-foot length and color-coded red. Designed for automotive and light-duty electrical wiring applications, this wire carries current in low-voltage DC circuits where a flexible, insulated single conductor is required. The plastic outer insulation provides basic protection against abrasion, moisture, and heat typical of underhood and chassis wiring environments. Licensed electricians and experienced automotive technicians are the primary installers, though this wire is also widely used by experienced service professionals across fleet, trailer, and marine applications.

This wire is suited for general-purpose 12-volt DC wiring in automotive, trailer, and similar low-voltage systems. Common applications include running power leads, lighting circuits, accessory feeds, and ground extensions. The red color coding supports standard wiring convention for positive or power-side runs, making circuit identification straightforward during installation and service. At 12 AWG, the wire handles moderate current loads appropriate for accessories, lighting, and auxiliary equipment feeds.

Key Features

• 12 AWG conductor size for moderate-current automotive circuits
• Plastic insulation rated for automotive environments
• 100-foot length provides ample wire for most single-run installations
• Red color coding for easy circuit identification
• Single conductor construction for straightforward routing and termination

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose single conductor automotive wire suitable for 12-volt DC wiring in automotive, trailer, fleet, and similar low-voltage electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified automotive technician or licensed electrician familiar with low-voltage DC wiring practices. Disconnect the vehicle battery before beginning any wiring work to eliminate shock and arc hazards. Use appropriate connectors, terminals, and inline fuses sized to the circuit load. Route and secure wire away from sharp edges, heat sources, and moving components to preserve insulation integrity.
