Southwire 55044503 18/3 Sjeoow Replacement Cord 250 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 55044503 is an 18 AWG, 3-conductor SJEOOW replacement cord rated for 10 amps at 300 volts. Built for both indoor and outdoor use, this flexible cord is designed for replacement applications where a durable, oil-resistant, weather-resistant power cord is required. The SJEOOW designation indicates a junior hard-service cord with thermoplastic elastomer insulation and jacket, rated for use in wet, oily, and outdoor environments. It is sold in 1-foot increments with a minimum cut length of 125 feet from a 250-foot coil. Electricians and maintenance technicians specify this cord for equipment replacement, drop cords, and industrial tool wiring where environmental exposure is a factor.

This cord is suited for light-duty commercial and industrial replacement wiring in environments where exposure to moisture, oils, and temperature variation is expected. Typical applications include replacement cords on portable tools, outdoor equipment, and industrial machinery. The cord meets NEC Article 400 requirements for flexible cord applications and carries MSHA approval, making it appropriate for mining and heavy industrial environments as well. It also satisfies Class I Division 2 hazardous location requirements per NEC Article 501.140, broadening its use in environments with flammable vapors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 400 and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before terminating or replacing any flexible cord. Do not exceed the 10-amp current rating or use this cord in applications requiring a heavier service designation. Verify that the cord type and environmental rating are appropriate for the specific installation before cutting to length, as cut cord is non-returnable per standard trade-supply practice.
