can this wire be spliced together with stranded 14 awg direct buried invisible fence wire safely

Yes. If it is going to be buried I would make sure you use water proof wire nuts, heat shrink tubing or a liquid tape type product to protect the connection from possibly grounding out and corrosion.

Yes it can. I have done this at my home and there is no safety issue. The only downside in doing so is the the field depth between the stranded and solid core wire varies. Meaning, if you set a four foot wide warning zone on the solid wire, you may find that the stranded zone is six feet or more. The wire is holding up well and it is a good value.

Yes it is solid not stranded wire. I imagine stranded wire could be used along as it had some good insulation made for in ground installation. I imagine the insulation around the wire is the most important part of the whole thing and solid core is cheaper to produce.

Yes you will need to splice the wires. I would also suggest that you order extra flags.

You would have to cut & splice the wires - wires as they come are def not that long.

I can't recall if directions came with but it's quite simple. Wire nut your two wires together and open the spliced kit and lay them in the silicone with the wires protruding out the bottom. The silicone helps to disperse water and protect the wires at the connection. Once done snap the pieces back together and bury. I used two spliced kits for an invisibile fence and buried it back around mid summer. No issues so far.

I bought the mating (weatherized) MC4 connectors; not expensive, but the crimp tool is pricey. Of course you can cut off the extant MC4 connectors and splice to any appropriate wire pair. Your chosen 16AWG wire is sufficient for the approx 2.5A max current if you are not going too far, (perhaps 20 ft or less; remember voltage drop is a function of distance). If the cables have shielding ( I think they don't), be certain to prevent a short to the shield where you splice. You can look under the terminal cover to see if they are shielded; I did, but can't remember for sure.

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

I would assume any un-shielded wire would work though I have not tried extending it.

Bare wire is perfect. Just strip it no more than 1/4" and try not to use more than 16 gauge wires.

I really do not know. You would be increasing the resistance of electrical flow by increasing the length of wire if you should splice it. Whether or not there is enough voltage etc to overcome this resistance I do not know. Perhaps an electrician can give you a quick answer or ask the question on a web search.

I'm not sure what wire that system uses, but this wire is a single stran of copper wire. It worked great for my invisible fence system.

yes, you would have to splice the wires together. Cut the corroded socket part off and connect the wires using a quick slice connector. Hope this helps

My wire is 18 gauge. The wire gauge doesn't matter as there isn't any current going through it. The coating on the outside needs to be able to be buried (ground contact wire) which this is. there isn't any stress on the wire so it doesn't need to be thick, thicker wire will be harder to use when installing. Bottom line don't worry about this wire. I installed this wire 15 years ago and only just needed to do it again since we re-landscaped our yard and tore up the old wire. I figured new wire was better than a bunch of splices. good luck.

The wires that I installed were almost all above ground on a fence, with the exception of running the wires underground by the various gates in the fence around my backyard. So, im not really sure how to, process of elimination I guess?

these are your best bet because you can use a lower (heavier duty) "awg or gage" wire dirrectly to the connection/metal of the connector- deffinitely a plus for ease and efficiency of use and installation, most importantly you dont have to worry about splicing in to the flimsy thin wire on all the others available. solderless connectors like these are fullproof while other "style" connectors can be shady sometimes. ive used these 110 and dc and in a car using the battery directly

The wire between the hard plastic ends can be cut and additional wire can be spliced in if you have the skills. However if you had to ask this question are probably not qualified to cut and extend the wires by splicing in additional wire length. Seek a professional electrician or experienced electronics hobbiest to assist you.

Yeah, i had my wire cut, so i know. I would bury mine next time, but i would never advise anyone else to, since i'm not a pro. It's heavy duty, but i would get large outdoor rated electric conduit to run it through, w elbows to take it out of the ground on each end. Maybe more hassle than unplugging each time.
