Southwire 411020513 Machine Tool Wire 16 Awg Purple 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411020513 is a 16 AWG stranded machine tool wire rated for use in industrial control panels, machine tools, and related electrical 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 during routing through tight conduit paths and around machine components. Each spool delivers 500 feet of continuous wire in a purple jacket, which aids in color-coded circuit identification. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This wire is suited for internal wiring of machine tools, industrial control panels, and automation equipment in commercial and industrial environments. The PVC insulation is rated acid-resistant, moisture-resistant, and oil-resistant, making it a reliable choice in manufacturing settings where exposure to cutting fluids, hydraulic oils, and washdown conditions is common. The purple color designation helps technicians distinguish circuits during installation and troubleshooting without relying solely on labeling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the equipment before pulling or terminating wire. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for the wire gauge, and verify conduit fill does not exceed code-allowable limits before pulling the full run.
