Southwire Building Wire 14GA Black 100 22955984

The Southwire 22955984 is 14 gauge black building wire in a 100 foot length, supplied for general branch circuit and equipment wiring.

Fourteen gauge copper conductor is rated for 15 amps in standard building applications, making it the common size for lighting circuits, general purpose receptacle circuits, control power, and small equipment loads. Conductor size must be coordinated with the overcurrent protective device: 14 gauge conductor is protected at 15 amps, and installing it on a 20 amp circuit leaves the wire unprotected against overload.

Black is the conventional colour for an ungrounded conductor. Maintaining consistent colour coding across an installation allows a technician arriving later to identify conductor function immediately, which speeds diagnosis and reduces the chance of a dangerous misconnection during service work. Where multiple ungrounded conductors are present, black is typically the first phase.

A 100 foot length is a practical quantity for service and small installation work, allowing a contractor to carry stock in a service vehicle without committing to a full spool.

Applications include lighting and receptacle branch circuits, HVAC control power wiring, equipment connections, disconnect and junction box wiring, panel work, and general residential and commercial electrical installation.

Before installation, confirm the insulation type and temperature rating are appropriate to the environment and to the terminations being made, since equipment terminals carry their own temperature limitations that can govern allowable ampacity. Apply required derating for conduit fill and elevated ambient temperature, and verify the installation complies with applicable electrical code.
