can i just connect this to 16 gauge wire and plug and use it ? if it not, wat should i do in order to get it run?

I used 14 AWG stranded, because I use it as a constant fan for my truck. I also used a relay with an inline fuse to the battery for power, grounded to a good ground for power and switch ground. I attached the positive of the relay switch to a switch leg and back to a power source that is only on when the key is in the ignition at on position. check your manual or use a multimeter and test fuses that are only on with the key and off when the ignition is off. This protects your battery from drain and your electrical system from a fire. Maybe over kill but I had a vehicular fire under both gasoline and electrical (not proud of it just grateful to be alive). I hope that was of some help.

Yes - it's 12 volts DC and really doesn't pull much more current than a computer fan.

The blower comes with two wires with naked ends. One wire is black (ground), and the other is yellow (12v). There is no plug included. You can use a wire tap to tap into existing power and ground, or extend the fan's wires to reach the switched power source and selected ground location.

Yes, it should be that easy. It will run on any DC supply. I'm running it directly off of my car's 12v DC through a switch. You can wire it in reverse to blow the opposite direction as well.

I Binged the question and found the answer, I would use the 16 gauge wire, especially if you putting the time into making them. I hope that this answers your question.

Kiyo, you could used this but the wire is rated for a lower amparage rating. If you are trying to run a higher powered radio, use a larger amp fuse holder for the wire. Another option you could use is to run a relay into your system so you could used the lower amp fuse and then cause this to run your relay. Look up how to wire a relay and that shoud give you what you are looking for.

I used 16 gauge and its working great. I think you can use 14 as well but 16 works fine so save a few 4.

Personally I would use 18 gauge wire, your load is less than 3 amps. 18 Ga wire is over engineered for the load and it has mechanical strength.

I would use no smaller than 16 gauge wire. You could go a low a 12 but this wire is thick and harder to hide. The thoughts have always been the smaller the gauge(thicker) the better .

I am not a licensed electrician, but here is my advice. I used this wire to power a bathroom exhaust fan. The run was less than 15 feet. I don't see a problem using it for a low voltage lighting application for recessed lighting in your kitchen. If you use 12 gauge wire make sure that you are not stepping up from an existing 14 gauge circuit. I hope my advice was helpful.

The package says 18 gauge and 15 amps max. I'm not sure I'd try a 15 amp load on that size wire (I know household wiring requires 14 gauge for 15 amps), but that's up to you.

The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

This system needs an amp and some wire. I have 16 gauge, others prefer 14 gauge.

You will need ta supply wire...I used 2ot wire between it an amp...Install it as close to amp as possile...

It would be foolish to run it on the wire they give you with a relay, without it would be even worse. it melted the fuseholder with the wiring it came with. Use 12 or 14 gauge wiring and a relay, it will keep the switch from wearing out, and is safer, also much much brighter.

I personly ran two 10 guage wires based on what I was connecting. it is rated for up to 100 amps on a standard 20' foot run of wire from the batteries to the fuse block You could go a single number 8 or even a number 6 cable run. there is a stud terminal connection so you can fit just about anything on it with a ring connector on the end.Good luck.

run 4 gauge, it does not require 0 gauge. run 4 gauge and make sure you are giving it enough power to produce its rated power.

Are the connecting wires of appropriate gauge? You need at least 14 gauge wire to supply power. I sized mine up to 12 gauge which is rated for 20 amps.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

I've used them with 16 and 18 gauge wire. They work well with both, but I ended up using 16 gauge for my setup.
