Wirepath SP-184-1000-RED 18 Gauge Fire Shielded Wire

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-184-1000-RED is an 18-gauge fire shielded solid conductor wire supplied in a 1000-foot quantity, sold as a single unit. This wire is designed for low-voltage alarm, security, and fire signaling circuits where fire-rated cable construction is required. The solid conductor provides consistent electrical continuity, and the red jacket allows for straightforward circuit identification during installation and future service work. Electricians and low-voltage technicians working on fire alarm and life safety systems rely on this type of cable to meet code-compliant wiring requirements in both residential and light commercial installations.

This wire is suited for fire alarm panel wiring, initiating device circuits, and notification appliance circuits where a shielded, fire-rated 18-gauge solid conductor is specified. The red jacket is a common convention for fire alarm wiring, aiding in visual identification during rough-in and final inspection. It is appropriate for use in installations governed by NFPA 72 and related local fire code requirements. Installers working in new construction or retrofit fire alarm projects will find this a straightforward fit for standard panel-to-device runs.

Key Features

• 18-gauge solid conductor for reliable low-voltage signal transmission
• Fire shielded construction for life safety and alarm circuit applications
• Red jacket for easy circuit identification per standard fire alarm wiring convention
• 1000-foot supply minimizes mid-job resupply on larger installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for straightforward ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply wire for residential and light commercial fire alarm and low-voltage signaling systems requiring 18-gauge fire shielded solid conductor cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local fire codes. De-energize and lock out the fire alarm control panel before making any wiring connections. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid running signal wire in close parallel proximity to high-voltage conductors. All terminations should be made at listed connection points using manufacturer-approved methods.
