What is the size of the hole? I have 20gauge wiring and I wonder if it'll fit in the holes.

Yes 20 gauge will be just fine. I use 20 and 24 gauge beading wire for these beads. The lower the number of gauge the thicker the wire. I like to use a fine beading wire for these tiny beads. Heavier glass beads I will use a 24 gauge. I hope that this helps you out.

If I recall correctly, the opening accepts 3/4" conduit. I installed this at a customers home so I can't just look at it. It will accept two 4 conductors or 2 - 4 conductors and 2 - 2 conductors no problem. The enclosure should have been made with more interior room though as it is difficult when inserting back in with wires terminated to the v/c. The wires bunch and try to cock the faceplate slightly to one side. Seems to have pretty good water resistance though... good luck!

Mine in running two 12g wires to it i wouldn't rec anything larger. Smallest size i have running to it is 22g

Hi Richard. We thank you for the question, and we do have a measurement for you: L = 20" W = 10" H = 2.25" Hope this helps you in find a suitable mounting location. Thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

I measure 29 and 7/8ths to 29 15/16th. We're in the range that the accuracy or consistency of tape measures is critical variable. If you took a standard 30" hood out you should be just fine. Even so nearly everything should fit in standard openings. With these sizes you're talking about, a lot depends on the "squareness" of the hole because you don't have a lot of clearance to work with. I'd say to go ahead and order--the odds are way in your favor--and you can always return it--just fit it in before doing all the other installation things. Glad to help.

It will fit in a standard, but a deep box is better. The holes are the standard distance as in a duplex receptacle.

Your best option would be to measure your intended install space and compare it to the size of this box. Make sure to take into account space required for wiring.

sorry it wont fit, 20-3/4 is just too wide, you would be forcing it in cause ing damage to your components and the unit.

I have it installed and working well. I used 4 gauge (along with a few other sizes for the other holes - have amps, relays, running lights and power inverter hooked up and will be running a CB from it also shortly). The 4 gauge did have a lot of room left over for bigger power wire - with 4 gauge the cover fits still.

I'm guessing, but it is probably 22 AWG (seems smaller than 20). The butt splices (crimps) with the red color are good for 18 - 22 AWG, and can accommodate smaller than 22 if needed. The splices are Amp 8-55824-2 or the equivalent. I used these: http://www.te.com/catalog/pn/en/8-55824-2?RQPN=8-55824-2. Happy wiring! I've read reviews & comments suggesting twisting the wires and wrapping with electrical tape, and I can tell you that you don't want to go there unless you want to re-wire it at some point in the near future.

the man I hired took old one out and put new one in the same hole. He gave me measurements to buy it. Sorry I don't remember the size.

I've used them with 16 and 18 gauge wire. They work well with both, but I ended up using 16 gauge for my setup.

Wire is pretty thick. I don't have it in front of me but I am an apprentice electrician and it appeared to be, from lasting impression, 10 gauge. Maybe only 12 gauge. But, I remember being happy that it was larger than 14gauge. I didn't test the water tightness, and it comes as one continuous 12"-18" loop so you'll have to cut it with this I mind

Don't drill the entire width of the post the same size hole. I used 5/32" dia bit to drill across the post so the .150" dia. galvanize wire can fit trough. Then I used tapped drill bit and drill in about 2" and it will be perfect for the Ferrule to fit in. The bottom of the ferrule is .65" dia. Good luck.

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

I saw no issue with the wire length. when needed I spliced in some 18ga thermostat wire

There are several sizes depending on the year and model of the unit, best way to be sure is to take off the inside part of the ac and measure the hole
