2-CONDUCTOR 16-GAUGE PUTTY COTTON TWISTED WIRE WITH GOLD TRACER

This is a 16-gauge wire in the twisted pair style where each conductor is covered in putty cotton braid. One conductor has a tracer of brushed gold cotton.

This product is the wire only. Any lamp parts shown are not included. 

Notes on the Color

The gold tracer thread which is a subtle contrast with the putty, is not readily visible from a distance. The putty is between tan and gray and is a wonderfully neutral color.

This wire is made with the tracer in order to replicate the look of wire used in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when there was no PVC insulation under the wire to help differentiate the two conductors during the wiring process.

Usage

This wire is suitable for table-top, floor, and pendant use and suited to many applications, include wiring fans and small appliances.

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.
