Southwire 13057522 Uf-b Wire 14 Awg 3-conductor 50 Feet

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 13057522 is a 50-foot roll of 14 AWG, 3-conductor Type UF-B underground feeder cable built for direct earth burial in residential and light commercial branch circuits. This cable carries a UL listing and is engineered to withstand the physical and chemical demands of below-grade and wet-location installations. The outer jacket and insulation resist acids, alkalis, corrosive fumes, chemicals, lubricants, and groundwater. The cable is also rated sunlight-resistant and will not support combustion, making it suitable for exposed runs as well as buried ones. Licensed electricians and journeymen installers rely on this cable for outdoor circuit extensions, landscape lighting feeds, and similar applications.

Type UF-B cable is the code-approved choice for direct burial wiring where conduit is not required. Common applications include branch circuits feeding outbuildings, garden lighting, water feature pumps, and exterior receptacles. It is also permitted for indoor installations in wet or corrosive locations where standard NM-B cable would not be appropriate. The 3-conductor configuration supports standard 120-volt grounded circuits, providing a hot, neutral, and ground conductor in a single cable assembly.

Key Features

• Type UF-B construction rated for direct earth burial without conduit
• Sunlight-resistant outer jacket suitable for above-grade exposed runs
• Noncombustible insulation system will not support combustion
• Highly resistant to acids, alkalis, groundwater, lubricants, and corrosive fumes
• UL listed for wet, corrosive, and underground feeder applications
• Sold as a 50-foot roll for branch circuit rough-in work

Compatibility

Designed for use as a direct-burial underground feeder cable in residential and light commercial branch circuit wiring applications where NEC Article 340 governs installation requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 340 and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage at the panel before making any connections. Minimum burial depth requirements vary by application and jurisdiction — consult the NEC and local authority having jurisdiction before trenching. Avoid using standard NM-B staples or clamps rated only for indoor cable; use fittings and supports appropriate for UF-B cable.
