can I use this wire with the ss-725cs unit? Metal ground rod, should be of what material and what length?Thanks!

No sure what that unit is however the wire works great for my electric fence. I used rebar for my ground. 6 foot rod of which I put 4 foot into the ground. They say put in as far as needed to hit moisture. I am in Oregon so 4 foot was enough.

Wire can be any unit. The ground means anything metal touching the ground. I have a chain-link fence just have it attached to one of the corner posts.

Yes you can use it the the unit, as for the ground rod I just went to the hardware store and bought a 2 feet ground rod.

Should b at least 12 inches in ground and must b a metal rod such as rebar sold at home depot

I did, and had no problems with the wire, actually I bought a heavier wire as the lighter wire broke and tangled easier than the heavy guage. A steel alloy rod, purchased from Home Hardware, used for grounding house wiring, did the trick. Make sure its in damp ground, where you install the grounding rod, I would run the hose around my ground rod now and again, just to make sure.

No anything will work. Just depends on how hard your gonna push them. I would recommend getting a pack of the banana clips that are 20$. Saves alot of time and wear on your fingers. And if your gonna push them as hard as I do your gonna want 12 gauge wire. But no smaller than 16 over 200watts. .

Wire size depends on the length but 12/2 with ground should be adequate. I do not recommend use of an extension cord.

Its all plastic, no metal. They never incorporated a ground wire. Yes, there are pros and cons to this, but it is, what it is. I use a polarized 6 ft cord with no ground in cord. Best to get reducer fittings at a plumbing supply too, since it is an unusual size. good luck

I like the Phoenix Gold 12 ga. wire sold here on Amazon. Better off w/o connectors. Just wrap the bare wire around the post at least 1.5 turns.

no it won't. I tried 1/8" and whoever said it would work should be shot. I ended up buying the 5/32" wire. Hope this helps.

Hook up your coax to your antenna and seal around with heat shrink tubing or that new seal tape that is out..Ground pole two foot in ground with ground rod if you can with a 8 foot rebar.If no Copper rod is available.If you can not go down that far due to rocks or bolder under ground. I put in a 5 ft copper rod than tied in a #4 grounding wire 5ft out at a foot deep pointing away from the house due to I had a huge bolder under ground. Hope you can go straight down. Use a electric hammer from a tool rental place or a friends. Will make life a lot easier.Antenna grounds to metal of pole.Does not need to be grounded for this antenna..Mine has been fine for months. Take your time and do it right the first time. If you can get the base of antenna up minumum 20'. 40' would be ideal.Remember to guy line tie your pole 20' and above.Use a proper antenna mast. I have a telescoping mast from channel master. Check Amazon. Cheap poles will cause havoc if you have bad weather.Do not over tighten your radials "ground plane" or antenna pierces. Snug with lock washers.No lock tight.If you are afraid they will come loose than tape around connected antennas.Well good luck. Ham operator. 73s

No, that is wrong. I use this wire with the PetSafe YardMax and it works perfectly fine.Perhaps you are confusing twisted wire with stranded wire. Twisted wire, when referring to in ground dog fences, is when two different wires (stranded or solid core) are twisted together to create a "dead spot" in your fence system.

At 240VAC, I've used 1/8" or about 3mm. Could probably go the equivalent of 3/16" depending on how clean your power source is. I haven't had much luck with anything other than 1/16 rod at 120VAC
636816
you can do it. Use 1/16 rod and keep amperage low. If this works out try 5/64 rod. I recommend 6013.

Older installations won't have a matching ground wire. The ground wire is for safety, but not strictly necessary. Simply cap it off as you do the other leads and be very careful none of the wrong wires touch each other when you push the box in.

I'm not sure which wire but I do know that the system is junk and for me it was a big waste of time and money. Good luck with your.

I can't say officially, but the metal is not too thin. I'd guess as much as a 12 AWG wire could handle would be fine. They're cheap enough you can just test one to failure and report your results.

Yes, you should definitely ground it. Swing by your local home depot or Lowes, you can pick up a 8-10 foot copper rod and use it for grounding if you don't already have something outside you can use. I drove mine most of the way into the ground and connect it with decent gauge wire whenever I use the generator.If you have trouble getting the long rod into the ground, a trick I read about suggested putting a little water in the area, pressing the rod in some, then repeating the process as you work it into the ground. Personally mine was easy, the sandy/clay ground took minimal effort. Good luck! Yes, you should definitely ground it.

You need Cat6 RJ-45 connectors made for 23awg solid copper conductors as stated in the product specs. Good wire that has performed as required so far.

The wire should work with any system. Much heavier than the thin stuff that comes in a kit. We have it underground and also in a plastic tube where it crosses the driveway (strangely the signal seems to be lower there). Above ground should theoretically give the best signal but the chance of damage is pretty high. We rented a small trencher with a special attachment for laying this wire.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.
