APPROXIMATE DIAMETERS OF ALL SUNDIAL WIRES
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE DIAMETERS ARE APPROXIMATE AND VARY FROM LOT TO LOT.
If you have small tolerances, PLEASE ORDER A SAMPLE before committing to
a larger order. You can order samples here: samples order page.
Please check that the diameter of each wire you order will
fit in the aperture for which it is intended.
The measurements in mm are more accurate than the measurements in inches but vary
from production lot to production lot. Please order a sample of the currently selling
lot if your tolerances are very
small.
Also, please do not choose solely based on what fits. Please make
sure the gauge you choose is appropriate for the electrical
draw of your device or fixture.
Please note that the parallel wire has two dimensions, height and width, since
its shape is rectangular rather than round.
Twisted wire is measured at its widest point.

RUBBER RECTANGULAR PLUG, Black
|
Item Number: PN2RUBRECTBK
OUT OF STOCK See www.sundialwire.com#news or www.facebook/sundialwire for ETA.
UL: UL-Recognized, 15A-125V Made in: Mexico Wire Opening Diameter: 8.33 mm, 1/3"
|
A new, rubber, two-prong plug, acceptable as a retro or vintage substitute.
This plug easily
accepts all of our wires except for the 14-gauge pulley cord. (For that cord,
please use the Round Plug with Neck.)
Note that if you are going to use one of our three-conductor wires, you should clip
the ground wire (the green one).
Note that this plug has a stretchy bit of rubber around the hole the wire goes through which means there is no gap around the wire
no matter the diameter of the wire.
UL listed, 15A-125V. Polarized. Color: Black
You should consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
gauge of the wire you select can safely support the electrical load of your lamp
or small appliance over the length of wire you are using.
