18 AWG UL Red Tinned Copper Wire, 250 foot Get Yours

Pacer 18 Gauge Primary Marine Tinned Wire is a flexible, corrosion-resistant 18 AWG marine wire made with Type III finely stranded tinned copper and durable red PVC insulation for marine electrical wiring applications.

Pacer 18 Gauge Primary Marine Tinned Wire is designed for demanding marine environments where flexibility, corrosion resistance, and durability are essential. Manufactured in-house by Pacer in Sarasota, Florida, this wire is built with Type III Class K tinned copper conductors to help protect against corrosion while maintaining the flexibility needed for boat and marine electrical installations.

The red color-coded PVC insulation is durable and flexible, with resistance to common marine hazards including moisture, oil, gasoline, abrasion, flame, acids, and alkalis. Rated for 600 volts and compliant with major marine and electrical standards, this 18 AWG wire is suitable for point-to-point wiring, internal panel wiring, and motor wiring.
