Is this UV / Weather resistent?

I don't know. I would assume it has some weather resistance. I bought it for outdoor use for cinching down on covers I am making. If they are in the sun I'm sure the UV light will eventually degrade them over time. But I plan on keeping them cover where possible. Hope that helps!

It has UV protection. So it should stand up to the sunshine in the Sunshine State pretty well. But eventually, it will take its toll on the hose.

My guess is that the wire covering will crack over time from UV exposure if left bare. Running it through conduit is a possible solution.

I don't think it has any special weather resistance. I treat it as any of my other lenses.

You bet, many of our customers leave these out all year long. The color will fade over time but the material itself is fairly resistant to UV

I haven't had a problem with UV damage and it's exposed to the strong So. Cal. sun all year round. My problem has been slight stress cracks from the weight of the water. I had a crack almost immediately after installation and Spalding sent me a free replacement. Now three years later I have a slight leak again. I would suggest filling with sand so leaks won't be an issue.

I would say that it is not "Sunlight" (UV) resistant. It is clear and I believe that whatever you put into it will get sun burnt. Also the lid is not sealed, it is just slightly tight. I would not leave it outside.

I have three that were installed about 15 years ago. Stood up to UV fine, but a severe hell storm took them out last year. Had to replace roof as well.

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.

Yes it is weather resistant although I haven't had it out in any driving rain.

It is a canvas material. I would not consider it weather resistant. Maybe you could scotch guard it.

Hody , I use mine indoors so I don`t have any experience with UV ... it is a bright yellow , so better in the sun than black or grey chords . I love my US Wire product !

I'm not 100% sure but I believe there will be UV issues over a period of time. You may want to contact the manufacturer on this item.

No the unit is not designed to be weather resistant. You could however easily run an electric wire to up a 4x4 pressure treated post to an exterior outlet then mount the unit to the post and plug it in. Then make a weather proof enclosure around the outlet and the unit to make a weatherproof. Run your low voltage wires from the float/switch up the post to the unit and poof; problem solved! Good luck!

As long as the female end of the cable is not exposed to moisture, I would certainly give it a shot. This is a well built and sturdy cable. As to the resistance to ultraviolet rays, I am unsure. If the installation is long term, I would not recommend it.

It is more of a plastic sheath, but I do not know how well it would hold up to UV from the sun. It is water proof, but it would need some protection from the elements, would recommend placing under a edge or ledge to keep it from sun light and weather. Best if used indoors. Or as I have done place it in clear plexiglass tube, seal with silicone.

I have a painting that has been outside 5 years and there is no rust or change in the wire. It is a somewhat protected area, no rain..slight sun. I have used this wire that long and would use nothing else. Susan
