Would this work to connect 20 guage wire to 14 guage wire?

Hi Emily, Yes they work very well. I connected 14 ga twisted wire to the 20 ga boundary wire for my sportsdog fence.

It sure will work..just twist the to wires together put the wirr cap on and the set it inside the water proof case.jusy because tge wires are two different gauges doesn't mean it won't work.

I guess you could do that, but I'd be hesitant to install a 20 gauge fence. I hope that wire is at least meant for direct burial. But yeah, you could do it. I'd probably strip the 20 gauge bit twice as long and fold it in half then stick that and the 14 gauge part in the wire nut to make sure it has enough bite and fills the nut. If it still doesn't fill the nut, you could probably buy a smaller wire nut at Radio Shack or whatever and insert that into the splice instead, but I doubt you'd need to. If you don't currently have 20 gauge installed, I wouldn't do that unless you are going to use a very small area that never freezes or has sharp rocks or corrosive soil... even a small nick could corrode a thin wire like that to the point of failure fairly easily.

I think this adapter has #14 wire so you could safely use a 15 amp fuse in it. #14 wire can not handle 20 amps continuously so it would eventually burn open.

It can handle 14 gauge wire just make sure you have the right kind of crimpers

14 gauge is really better. I used 14 gauge and it works great. The longer wire runs should use bigger wire like 14.

The package says 18 gauge and 15 amps max. I'm not sure I'd try a 15 amp load on that size wire (I know household wiring requires 14 gauge for 15 amps), but that's up to you.

i'm sure that 18 guage wire would be sufficient. my led lights are part of a 12-volt system in my camper that is protected by a 15 amp bayonet fuse in a fuse box.

i really doubt it, because i had problems using 14awg wires. it worked but it took awhile to get them all properly crimped.

No- for a 20a circuit requires #12 romex. Then you have to take into consideration how far your running the wire. There could be a voltage drop.

12 or 14 gauge will be fine. But if the cord is over 20ft, I would use 12 gauge.

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

I personly ran two 10 guage wires based on what I was connecting. it is rated for up to 100 amps on a standard 20' foot run of wire from the batteries to the fuse block You could go a single number 8 or even a number 6 cable run. there is a stud terminal connection so you can fit just about anything on it with a ring connector on the end.Good luck.

I doubt it. I used 12 AWG and it was very tight. You would probably have to trim the 8 AWG wire down to get it to work.

you don't have to use the same gauge wire in each terminal. 10 gauge will work fine.

It can work but this fuse holder is really meant for 4 or 8 gauge wire. It will work but it is a bit large for 12 gauge wire.

Yes. This wiring is 20, great for lightbars and for quick vehicle wiring. Easy to work with too

A 20 amp plug will work on 14awg and a 15amp breaker but will be a code violation. It also will not output 20 amps. To be compliant it would need 12awg and a 20amp breaker.

I used 14 gauge, and it fits with plenty of room. Appears as if 12 gauge will work too. The trick is to have just enough wire coming out and over the edge to make a proper connection. Works like a charm.
