I want to buy a 50' outdoor extension lead for the splitter. The manual mentions leads but doesn't say much. Do I need a 14 gauge or 12 gauge? other?

You will notice the motor heats up faster on 14 gauge than on 12 gauge. Use 12 or better 10 Gauge to preserve the windings in the motor. The voltage drops on thin extension cords, the longer and thinner the wire the greater the drop and the greater the long term danger to the motor windings.

Jack H. says it all in his response. For 50 ft length, 12 gauge is the minimum, 10 gauge wire would be better.

while I can't be sure, my previous experierance with one from a different manufacture appeared to be 12-gauge, all the connectors with all the leads the same, presumably so it can be use as a multi-input to single out or vise versa depending on your needs

I apologize for the late response but i have been very busy. i bought 14" gauge wire for my system. i really don't believe the brand matters. i would also recommend banana clips but they are also not necessary. when i get the chance i will try to include a link to the ones i bought.let me know if this helpsDex

I want to split the line, so I can control the TV input from 2 different locations (not at the same time). The splitter I looked at here says to use minimum 26 AWG gauge wire cables, but everything I have looked at so far here is 28 AWG, which is smaller than recommended. So I am assuming, without further info, that these cables have 28 AWG wire in them. Please correct me if I am wrong about that!

The lead wire for the probe is 2 foot, if you need to extend this lead it can be done with a 18 gauge wire.

Standard 3-prong. 120v extension cord. 12awg is the wire gauge and is recomended if you use a 100ft cord, but a lot of the 100 ft cords are only 14 awg or 16. A 14 would do just fine.

I use a standard outdoor extension cord. You can purchase one right here, make sure it's for outdoor use. No problem. Mine is 50' but you may not need one that long. I was all over my house with it.

I'm sure that 14 gauge would do fine, but I confess that I used 16 gauge. These are really nice lights; I like them. I think you will be very satisfied with them.

The kit has the leads and a fused link. The cables are around 6 ft long and 4 gauge. For a 20ft run you'll definitely need to use at least 2 gauge wire. I know there are serval kits avaalble.

i just used 14 gauge electric wiring. it worked fine. the connections could take 12 gauge wire.

It depends on your application and length needed but I find 12-16 gauge best. If you have long runs say over 30ft I would consider the 12 gauge but for anything less you'll be fine with 16 gauge

I would suggest using the same gauge low voltage speaker wire that came with the speakers or better yet a little larger gauge wire ( lower gauge number (#14) is a larger wire & less resistance than (#16) if you are going a very long distance between the speakers. I have not purchased a spool for a while but standard #16 gauge insulated wire will probably do what you need and Amazon or Wal-Mart probably has a 100 ft. spool available online or in the store. Hope this helps!

I think the shorter lead would be best I think it's 4 feet long. If you're asking about thickness, then this would be good. It's a very strong lead. I use it with my 50th pit.

two prong is required, but you can use a 3-prong. Be sure to use a 12-gauge cable if over 100 feet. 14 gauge is OK under 100 feet. It is hard to find a 12 gauge cable with only 2 prongs.

The manual states you should only use an extension cord rated for outdoor use ... but does not mention gauge. The Home Depot website offers a buyers guide for extension cords. Basically you want to ensure the most power getting to the blower and not being consumed by the cord so there are two factors, wire gauge and length. The bigger the wire and the shorter the cord the lower the resistance so for 12 Amps using a 100 ft cord you should use at least a 14 gauge cord or larger. If you are interested in the larger 18 Amp blower you would need a 10 gauge. It's best to reference an extension cord buyers guide to determine what size cord will best meet your needs for the length of cord you will need.

thicker the wire the lower the resistance. Its also better to have a thicker gauge for speakers that are far from the reciever. I use 14 Guage, my farthest speaker is roughly 10-12 ft from the reciever and works great. Bannana plugs are the way to go, makes everything much simpler to install and it keeps everything neat too.

I own one and would not recommend anything less than 14 gauge. Of course it depends on how far you have to run for supply.
