What gauge wire can the plug handle? I am looking for something just like this but I have 14 gauge wire I need to put into it.

It can handle 14 gauge wire just make sure you have the right kind of crimpers

Works just fine on mine. it's just a wire splice, so as long as your wire gauge isn't too big, you'll be fine. And I think I have 14 gauge wire, the biggest there generally is.

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.

Without cutting one of the wires it's difficult to be sure. It appears to be a 16 gauge or slightly larger. I don't believe the wire is actually a 14 gauge; but the insulation gives it the appearance of something just larger than 16.

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 not sure what gauge the wire is. I can tell you that it is the same size as the wire that comes with the chargers. The connections are also the same size as the connections for the charger. The extension comes with a connector cover to isolate the plug to prevent any potential for grounding/arcing. The extension was long enough to route the wire wherever I needed it making connecting and charging my truck battery easier. This is a very user friendly product - a realu "Plug & Play" item. I highly recommend this product.

The 12 gauge wire is really thick. It is about the thickness of a rubber hair tie. I think you need like 18 gauge or smaller. Wire is smaller as the gauge gets higher.

18 gauge. Don't know why people answer with guesses. It's like guessing a fuse is 15 amps when it's really only 8 amps. Huge difference between 14 gauge and 18 gauge.

12 or 14 gauge will be fine. But if the cord is over 20ft, I would use 12 gauge.

it is 18 gauge with a heavier plastic covering. it had worked well for me over the past 6 months, but will break. I would have gone with the heavier wire, but actually thought this was 14 gauge.

Yes , 16 gauge is fine. The spec's state it is good for 14 guage (which is larger wire) as well.

14 gauge if I remember correctly. I sent it back because the outside casing and wires were too thick for my application.

Not made for large gauge wires. I think it will handle up to 18-16 awg no problem

two prong is required, but you can use a 3-prong. Be sure to use a 12-gauge cable if over 100 feet. 14 gauge is OK under 100 feet. It is hard to find a 12 gauge cable with only 2 prongs.

Good question. I can tell you it will not accodate standard 14 gauge soild copper wiring. if you are using this in your house you will need to connect a smaller gauge wire to the romex wiring. the connection terminals are very small on the supply side

I'm a electrician 14 guage is fine it doesn't pull any amps bring led. You will be fine with 14 guage wire

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.
