Eaton Crouse-hinds 142WG 14/2 Building Wire 250 Ft

Product Description

The EATON CROUSE-HINDS 142WG is a 14/2 nonmetallic sheathed building wire sold in a 250-foot coil. This style of wire, commonly called Romex, consists of two insulated current-carrying conductors plus a bare ground conductor enclosed in a PVC outer jacket. It is a standard wiring product used in residential and light commercial electrical installations. Licensed electricians install this wire to supply branch circuits for outlets, lighting, and small appliances inside conditioned or protected spaces. The 14 AWG conductors are rated for 15-amp circuits under NEC guidelines, making this a common choice for general-purpose branch circuit rough-in work.

This wire is suited for dry, damp, or protected indoor locations as permitted by applicable electrical codes. Typical applications include new construction rough-in, panel-to-outlet home runs, switch loops, and lighting circuits in residential buildings. The 250-foot coil length is a standard jobsite quantity that covers full-room or multi-outlet runs without splicing. Electricians working residential service upgrades, additions, or new builds will find this a routine stock item.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit panel before making any connections. Secure and support the cable at intervals required by the NEC, and protect it from physical damage wherever it passes through framing or is exposed. Do not install nonmetallic sheathed cable in conduit, wet locations, or applications not permitted by the product listing.
