Hello John,This cable is 95% copper braid with 5% shielding. The cable is not "certified" CL2 rated.Please let me know if you have any further questions.Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO

The 18/2 appears to be CCA, because I scraped on it with a knife, and the copper came off, exposing the aluminum. The marking on the cable and on the box does not state this. It only says 18/2 power cable. The RG59 is copper clad steel.

I believe it refers to gauge/weight of the stainless steel.18/10 is a good grade.

This product is CITRIC ACID, so it will react with the copper by removing the oxidation (much like a lemon will "clean" a penny.) I would NOT use this product if your copper fixtures have a special finish or patina that you would like to preserve. Cheers!

This is 18/10 stainless steel which falls into SAE 316 stainless steel specifications. It's fine for use with vinegar.

Hey Wareren, .. ok, I took a knife too one of my connectors; though it all looks like copper, I was however, able to cut a surface layer off identifying aluminum. Weight also doesn't line up with what would the weight of 25' of copper cables. I will note, they have worked fine for the occasional use that I had need of them. I still really like the quality connectors, all the rubber, and the carrying case is of better quality than I expected. Personally at this price point & again, for what I'm using them for, I would buy again. Note: Though these are called "commercial duty", I would not buy them for commercial use!

It is copper, but seems to be much thinner than my older cuisinart copper pieces. Spots much easier, needs more attention from "bar keeper's friend." Not close to my Mauviel pieces!

Get a Copper Ionization System and you will not get algae unless you let the copper get low. No chlorine! I have had mine for 20 years and we really like ours. Extremely easy to take care of.

The reason for the 15 amp rating is probably because the conductor is aluminum not copper. If it was copper it should say that in the conductor description. 12/3 cu.

Not sure. But they are not brass and will not give you a false positive when cleaning for copper.

Thank you SG; I mistakenly thought this was the copper core, not the aluminum. Everything else you stated is spot on though. Thanks for the help!

It's 18/0 and that's a good thing. That second number indicates amount of nickel, and nickel is very toxic. I don't want any nickel in my set.

Our system continuously said low salt. We contacted the manufacturer and we were sent a new copper plate. Still didn't work. We gave up and now use the old chlorine method.

I've never been able to get an answer. I've been told that it is "tinned pure copper." I did end up using it and haven't had any issues. I ran a dmm on it and got a 14.11 idle (with the ac on) and it only dropped to 13.96 with hard bass hits. It definitely is 4 gage though.

304 and 18/8 are the same alloy. If you are seeing little rust spots you may have 302 stainless steel as it has lower Cr & Ni in it. The rust spots are normal and can easily be removed with cleanser.

Good question. This is supposed to be brass. Brass is supposed to be a mixture copper and zinc. With this product, I would not be convinced that it is a polluted compound of metals. It is not like any brass to which I have ever been exposed. Because it is for use with a garden hose, and you are not supposed to drink from garden hoses, probably because of the lead in the metal couplings, I would not trust this in your drinking water supply line. Truthfully, I have found the plastic ones more durable and user friendly than these. My suggestion, go plastic unless you can find an older version of this connector that was made in North America.

It doesn't specify but they are almost certainly 18/0 rather than 18/10. That is the cheapest stainless grade NSF will certify.
