Southwire 411090504 Machine Tool Wire 8 Awg Red 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 411090504 is an 8 AWG stranded machine tool wire rated for use in industrial control panels, machine tool wiring, and similar fixed-installation electrical applications. Built with a 19-strand copper conductor and PVC insulation, this wire measures 0.244 inches in outside diameter and comes in a 500-foot length. It is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F and a minimum of -22 degrees F. The PVC insulation provides resistance to acid, moisture, and oil, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where exposure to fluids or chemicals is common. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this wire type.

This machine tool wire is intended for use in control panel wiring, machine tool circuits, and industrial automation equipment. Its stranded construction allows for flexible routing through conduit, enclosures, and tight panel spaces. The 500-foot spool length suits panel shops and field service crews handling multiple runs. The red color supports color-coded wiring systems commonly used in industrial control and low-voltage power circuits.

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 all circuits before pulling or terminating wire. Verify conduit fill compliance per NEC Chapter 9 tables before installation. Do not exceed the wire's rated maximum operating temperature at the termination point or along the run.
