Questions & Answers
Can i use this trace wire on portable water line if i dont found the blue color ?
Thank you for the inquiry. You may bury this product with the water line.
I'm burring 1-1/2" PVC conduit for a fiber optic line to my home which required a tracer wire. Can this tracer wire be used for this type of application? Is the insulation color meant for only a gas line?
Yes, this tracer wire can be used for burying 1-1/2" PVC conduit for a fiber optic line. While it's designed for locating buried gas lines, the wire itself is suitable for this application. The yellow insulation is simply for corrosion protection and to help locate the wire, it doesn't limit its use to gas lines. The key specifications to consider are the 14-gauge size, solid stainless steel core with copper cladding, and the 30mil HDPE jacket. These features make it suitable for your fiber optic conduit application.
Can I use this one for wire line?
Hi, Alvaro - If you want to use this as regular wire, you should ensure that the tracer wire's specs are in line with the code in effect.
1) What kind of metal is the 14-gauge wire? 2) Voltage rating of the insulation?
Hi, DannyS - This is 14AWG wire that is comprised of a solid stainless core with copper cladding. The break load is 177 lbs. The yellow cover is 30mil HDPE and is there mostly for corrosion protection. There is no voltage rating of the insulation itself.
Your "installation manual" link goes to the warranty pdf
Thanks, Jim22. We'll check that out and correct it. Update: Corrected on hd.com 1.20.23.
Could this wire be safely used from the electric fence charger pole, 110 volt ac, for underground delivery to the aboveground electric fence system
Hi, ef - We strongly suggest that you consult with a qualified electrician. If the fence charger says to use 14 gauge solid wire with 30 mil jacket then our wire fits this description but, again, an electrician would be able to tell you for sure.
