Product Information

Specification

12 AWG Tracer Bare Copper Solid PE-45 Insulation Locating Wire 30/600V

Applications:

Tracer wire is mainly designed to carry electrical signals in underground non-metallic pipes. The electrical wires are typically buried next to a pipe. They are used in temperatures up to 75°C in both wet and dry locations. The electrical wire is suitable for industrial applications, utilities, irrigation systems, and slant drilling. It is available in 30 volt and 600-volt versions for different applications.
