Value Collection 24 BC-1/4 Lb Solid Grounding Wire 24 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 24 BC-1/4 LB is a solid copper grounding wire rated at 24 AWG with a bare conductor diameter of 0.0201 inches (0.51 mm). Each spool contains 201 feet of wire, giving electricians and low-voltage installers enough length for most residential and light commercial grounding runs. The solid construction maintains consistent contact resistance and meets ASTM B3 and QQ-W-343 Type S standards. RoHS compliance confirms the wire is free of restricted hazardous substances, making it suitable for projects with environmental material requirements.

This grounding wire is used in lighting and electrical installations where a dedicated bare copper ground conductor is required. Typical applications include panel grounding, equipment bonding, and supplemental grounding electrode connections in residential and light commercial settings. Electricians also use solid 24 AWG copper wire in low-voltage control wiring, instrumentation runs, and similar signal-ground applications. The compact spool dimensions of 2.25 inches by 2.25 inches by 1.25 inches make it easy to store and handle on the job.

Compatibility

Designed as a solid bare copper grounding conductor for use in residential and light commercial electrical installations where 24 AWG grounding or bonding wire is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and lock out all power to the circuit before making any grounding connections. Use appropriately rated connectors, lugs, or compression fittings rated for solid copper conductors. Do not use this wire as a current-carrying conductor in applications outside its rated specification.
