18 Gauge High Temperature Wire 16.4Ft, -76-932 ℉ 18 AWG Mica Fiberglass Electronic Copper Wire Insulated Heat Resistant High Temp Electronical Flexible Cable for Lamp Boiler Heater Kiln

Buena calidad y precio modico

When replacing the light bulb in my wall oven, the old wiring and clip broke so I had to find some high temp wire to replace it with. This stuff was perfect - if not a tiny bit overkill - which was just fine as far as I was concerned. No issues at all since installation.

This worked great for upgrading the wiring in my reflow oven. I need to see how well it survives in my wife's kiln, but it works great up to 400 °C

worked great Thank you

The insulation came apart and frayed when the wire was stripped to add terminals. This doesn’t happen on good quality high temperature wire. It got everywhere and the terminals weren’t very professional looking. The copper did seem to be good quality though.

I purchased the 18 ga wire to match the existing wiring of a gas stove. This single conductor wire was used to replace several wires on a gas stove in the control area. The old wires to and from the spark igniter module had become charred (along with the spark igniter module) due to a misaligned gas tube, allowing flame to enter the control area. Old wires had to be removed as the connectors had become fused by fire to the spark igniter module.This wire was chosen due to its size (18 gauge, equivalent to original), heat resistance, and flame resistance. Indeed, the wire is flame resistant, as I tested it with a gas flame. It eventually blackened, but it did not burn. I was happily surprised to see the wire is stranded copper rather than stranded aluminum, which has a much lower melting point than copper, so the wire should be considerably more heat resistant. The wire is adequately flexible.While the inner insulation readily strips with a wire stripper, the outer braided fiberglass jacket is more difficult to remove. I had to snip it off with scissors, which is easy to do, but it leaves a mess of itchy fiberglass fibers on your clothes, so wear gloves and be ready to vacuum the fibers off your clothes. Furthermore, the jacket frays at the cut end. The solution to the frayed cut end is to push the frayed end into the hub of an insulated connector, so when you crimp the connector, the frayed part is stuck inside the connector hub. You could use some type of tape to solidify the frayed end, but you'd want to use a heat and flame resistant tape. I'm sure this is an inconvenience common to many wires with a fiberglass jacket.I would recommend this wire for gas stove repair. It's a great value for the money. For electric ranges, much of the wiring carries much higher currents so I absolutely would not consider the 18 ga wire for an electric range (unless you know it will be used for a low current circuit).

Prefect, just what I needed for the stove I was re-wiring. Stove work perfectly.
