Value Collection 01-0808-12CO Soft Aluminum Wire 12 Ga

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01-0808-12CO is a soft aluminum wire supplied in a 2,025-foot coil at 12 gauge, with a nominal diameter of 0.0808 inches. Drawn from Alloy 1100 aluminum and produced to ASTM B211 specification, this wire offers high electrical conductivity and excellent formability. The soft temper makes it easy to bend, coil, and terminate without cracking or kinking. It is used across electrical, HVAC, and light-fabrication applications where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant conductor is required. Licensed electricians and trade professionals handle installation in code-governed work.

This wire is suited for general electrical wiring, grounding, bonding, and low-stress mechanical applications where aluminum conductors are specified. The 1100-alloy designation indicates commercially pure aluminum, which delivers superior corrosion resistance and workability compared to alloyed alternatives. A 2,025-foot coil length supports larger runs or multiple smaller jobs from a single package, reducing splice points and material handling time on the job site.

Key Features

• 12 gauge soft temper aluminum for easy bending and termination without cracking
• Alloy 1100 commercially pure aluminum provides excellent corrosion resistance
• Meets ASTM B211 specification for drawn aluminum wire
• 2,025-foot coil length supports extended runs with fewer splices
• Nominal diameter of 0.0808 inches consistent with 12 AWG sizing standards
• Lightweight aluminum construction reduces overall installation weight versus copper

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose soft aluminum conductor for electrical, grounding, bonding, and light mechanical applications where ASTM B211 Alloy 1100 aluminum wire is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation of aluminum conductors should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Always de-energize circuits completely before making connections. Use aluminum-rated connectors and antioxidant compound at all termination points, as required by NEC guidelines for aluminum wiring. Avoid over-bending or kinking the wire during pulling, as this can work-harden the material even in soft temper.
