Customers of our HotRod heat stick were always asking for recommendations on a source for wire that was rated for boil temperatures. Since the local big box stores rarely stock higher temp rated wires. In an effort to work towards that one-stop-shop ideal, here it is! This wire is nice and flexible and easy to work with. Use this 12 gauge wire for either the Hot Rod or Hot Pods with 2200 watt elements or 1500/1650 watt elements when the run is going to be longer than 25 feet. Technically it is capable of a maximum of 25 amps so could potentially be used for up to 5500 watt elements which draw just under 24 amps. If you choose to do this, ensure very solid connections on the ends to avoid excess heat build up and limit the cord length to 10 feet.

It is available by the foot so whatever the quantity in the cart is, that's how many feet you'll get. This cable does NOT come with any grips or plugs.
