Southwire 1427SW0008 Outdoor Extension Cord 15A 25 Ft 14/3

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 1427SW0008 is a 25-foot, 14/3 SJEOW outdoor extension cord rated for 15 amps. It carries three conductors on a 14-gauge wire, providing enough capacity for power tools, equipment, and lighting commonly used on job sites and outdoor installations. The SJEOW jacket is oil-resistant and rated for outdoor environments, making it suitable for use in wet or oily conditions encountered during trade work. The black jacket runs 25 feet, giving tradespeople enough reach for most residential and light commercial service calls. A single NEMA 5-15R receptacle accepts standard 15-amp plugs.

This extension cord is suited for outdoor use in residential and light commercial settings. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors use it to power tools and temporary equipment during service and installation work. The NEMA 5-15P plug connects to standard 15-amp household and commercial outlets, and the single NEMA 5-15R receptacle accepts one tool or appliance at a time. It is appropriate for use in wet locations where an oil-resistant and water-resistant cord jacket is required.
