Southwire 10665803 Stranded Bare Ground Wire 6 Awg 315 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 10665803 is a soft-drawn, stranded bare copper ground wire rated at 6 AWG and sold in a 315-foot roll. Bare ground wire carries no insulation — the exposed copper conductor is the product. It serves as the grounding path in electrical installations, providing a low-resistance route for fault current to travel safely to earth ground. At 6 AWG, this wire carries sufficient capacity for residential grounding grid applications and meets common sizing requirements under the National Electrical Code for grounding electrode conductors. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This wire is suited for grounding grid systems in residential electrical installations, typically run from the main service panel or grounding electrode to ground rods, water pipe electrodes, or concrete-encased electrodes. The stranded construction provides flexibility during routing compared to solid wire, making it easier to work in tight panel enclosures or conduit runs. Its soft-drawn temper keeps the wire pliable and reduces kinking during installation. The 315-foot roll length supports full-home grounding layouts without mid-run splices in many residential configurations.

Key Features

• 6 AWG stranded bare copper construction for grounding electrode conductor applications
• Soft-drawn temper for flexibility and reduced kinking during installation
• 315-foot roll reduces the need for mid-run splices in residential grounding grids
• No insulation — designed specifically for grounding, not current-carrying circuits
• Sold as a single roll with a minimum order quantity of one

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grounding solution for residential electrical grounding grid systems, compatible with standard grounding hardware and electrodes used in single-family and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with NEC Article 250 governing grounding and bonding. Disconnect and lock out main service power before making any connections at the panel. Use listed grounding clamps and connectors rated for bare copper wire to terminate each end — do not use twist-on wire connectors on bare ground conductors. Verify local AHJ requirements, as some jurisdictions impose additional grounding conductor sizing or burial depth rules beyond the base NEC minimums.
