Southwire 411020509 Machine Tool Wire 16 Awg Gray 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411020509 is a 16 AWG stranded machine tool wire designed for internal wiring in machine tools, control panels, and industrial equipment. Built with a gray 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 conductor uses 26 strands for improved flexibility compared to solid wire, making it well-suited for routing through tight enclosures and around internal components. It is sold in a 500-foot spool, providing sufficient length for panel builds and multi-run installations in a single package.

This wire is intended for use in machine tool interiors, industrial control panels, and similar enclosed electrical equipment. Electricians and panel builders typically specify this type of wire when wiring motor controls, PLCs, relay panels, and similar low-voltage control circuits. The PVC insulation provides resistance to acids, moisture, and oil, which are common environmental factors in machine shop and light industrial settings. The 500-foot continuous spool minimizes splicing and supports efficient wiring of large panel assemblies.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock wire for machine tool internal wiring applications and industrial control panel construction where 16 AWG PVC-insulated stranded wire meeting UL 1063 and CSA 22.2 No. 210 is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before pulling or terminating wire. Use appropriately rated terminals and connectors sized for 16 AWG conductors. Route wire away from sharp edges and heat sources that exceed the rated maximum operating temperature.
