Southwire 13057555 14 Awg 3-conductor Uf-b Wire 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 13057555 is a 250-foot roll of 14 AWG 3-conductor UF-B underground feeder cable designed for direct earth burial in branch circuit applications. Type UF-B construction makes this wire suitable for wet or corrosive locations both underground and indoors. The jacket is highly resistant to acids, alkalis, corrosive fumes, lubricants, and groundwater. It is noncorroding, sunlight-resistant, and rated to not support combustion, making it a reliable choice for licensed electricians running branch circuit wiring in demanding environments.

This cable is used in residential and light commercial electrical installations where underground wiring is required. Typical applications include outdoor lighting circuits, outbuilding feeders, landscape power runs, and any branch circuit that requires direct burial without conduit. It is also appropriate for use in indoor wet or corrosive locations where standard NM-B cable is not permitted by code. Electricians working under the National Electrical Code (NEC) will find this cable meets the requirements for Type UF-B wiring methods.

Key Features

• Type UF-B rated for direct earth burial without conduit in branch circuit applications
• Suitable for wet or corrosive indoor locations where NM-B is not code-compliant
• Resistant to acids, alkalis, corrosive fumes, chemicals, lubricants, and groundwater
• Noncorroding and sunlight-resistant jacket extends service life in exposed outdoor runs
• Non-combustion-supporting insulation for added safety
• UL listed for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-burial UF-B branch circuit cable suitable for standard residential and light commercial electrical wiring applications requiring 14 AWG 3-conductor underground feeder wire.

Installation Notes

Installation of Type UF-B cable must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 340 governing underground feeder and branch circuit cable. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a voltage tester before handling wire. Observe locally adopted burial depth requirements, which typically differ between direct-burial cable and cable run in conduit. Avoid sharp bends or kinking during installation to maintain conductor and jacket integrity.
