Southwire 411020508 Machine Tool Wire 16 Awg 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411020508 is a 16 AWG stranded machine tool wire designed for internal wiring of machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. Built with a polyvinylchloride (PVC) insulation jacket measuring 0.12 inches in outside diameter, this wire handles operating temperatures from -4 degrees F up to 221 degrees F. The 26-strand construction provides flexibility in tight routing applications. Each spool provides 500 feet of continuous wire, making it suitable for shop stock or larger panel builds. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers for this product.

This machine tool wire is rated for use in machine tool cabinets, automated equipment enclosures, and industrial control panels where oil, moisture, and acid exposure are common concerns. The PVC insulation provides resistance to oil, moisture, and acid, making it appropriate for manufacturing floor environments. The 500-foot spool length suits both single large installations and recurring service work where wire stock is maintained on hand.

Installation Notes

Installation of machine tool wire should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and equipment manufacturer wiring diagrams. De-energize and lock out all power to the machine or panel before routing or terminating wire. Avoid sharp bend radii that could damage the PVC insulation jacket. Verify wire gauge and insulation rating are appropriate for the circuit load and environment before installation.
