Southwire Building Wire 14GA Red 100 22957584

The Southwire 22957584 is 14 gauge red building wire supplied in a 100 foot length for branch circuit and equipment wiring.

Fourteen gauge copper conductor carries a 15 amp rating in standard building installations, suiting lighting circuits, general purpose receptacles, control power, and small equipment loads. Conductor sizing must be coordinated with overcurrent protection, and 14 gauge conductor requires protection at 15 amps.

Red insulation conventionally identifies an ungrounded conductor, typically the second hot leg of a 120/240 volt single phase circuit or an additional phase conductor in three phase work. In HVAC service, red is also frequently encountered as a travelling or switched conductor in control applications. Consistent colour discipline throughout an installation allows a technician arriving years later to identify conductor function without tracing circuits, which shortens diagnostic time and reduces the risk of a wiring error.

The 100 foot length matches the quantity typically needed for individual circuit runs, equipment connections, and service repairs, making it practical for service vehicle stock.

Applications include three-way and multi-wire branch circuits, HVAC equipment and control wiring, disconnect and junction box connections, panel and subpanel work, and general residential and commercial installation.

Before installation, confirm the insulation type and temperature rating are suitable for the environment and for the terminations being made, since equipment terminal ratings often limit allowable ampacity independently of the conductor insulation. Apply required derating for conduit fill and elevated ambient temperature and verify the completed installation satisfies applicable electrical code.
