I notice there are 12 ga and 14 ga silver wires. When do you use the different sizes?

I don't think it really matters which gauge you use. This machine can accommodate either. The thicker gauge will have more silver & last longer, but it costs more.

The ga stands for gauge. To my knowledge only one will fit the machine....read the machine directions if you have one; otherwise refer to what is included in a kit. You will benefit from reading from The Silver Edge and from the The Silver Lung. These are both reputable companies. You also get what you pay for! Nancy Morse

I just re-read most of our research articles plus the packing list and directions for the generator use. I am almost certain that the two gauges differ only as to surface area that is exposed to the distilled water. I notice that the yard length replacement roll, purchased separately from the kit, is 14 ga. Wire size does not determine ppm. Generating time plus raising water temperature, including the addition of 20 ppm product are involved in making higher (than 20) ppm product.

Im looking for 10 gage silver units, all these have 12 and 14. Can someone tell me what unit uses the 10 gase silver? Thanks

The gauge size is the diameter of the wire. This machine is designed for 14 gauge. I really don't know if the 12 ga would be too large to fit in the openings.

wire size should be #12 on a 20 amp. circuit or #14 on a 15 amp. circuit . wire can be individual thhn if in conduit or uf cable if direct buried.

15 amp should be used with 14 gage wire and a 15 amp breaker. 20 amp should be used with 12 gage wire and a 20 amp breaker. I would guess you have 15 amp but not sure without seeing it.

You will have to connect 3 wires together for each side (hot and neutral), the two that come into the box, and the one from the outlet you are installing. Use an appropriate sized wire nut for this. When you look at the package for the wire nuts, they indicate the different capacity for the wire sizes, most residential wiring is 14 gauge, but 12 gauge is sometimes used.

There is no way this is 18 AWG or 14 AWG wire. I measured it with a micrometer and it is around 0.52mm (24 AWG). It should not be used with more than 0.57 amps.

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.

I'm a electrician 14 guage is fine it doesn't pull any amps bring led. You will be fine with 14 guage wire

12 gauge is only good for 20A 10 gauge is only rated for 30A. So you need much bigger wire

I used 12 awg stranded automotive wire on mine and it has not been a problem for me.

I Binged the question and found the answer, I would use the 16 gauge wire, especially if you putting the time into making them. I hope that this answers your question.

I recommend 16 gauge, but if all you have is 18, that is OK. Don't use 20, and 14 is more than you need unless you're making a long run (more than two rooms).

It will crimp both 14 awg and 12 awg wire. 14 awg is smaller than 12 awg. So 14 awg is easier to crimp.

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.

I would recommend adding wire onto these.. They come in a loop so you can cut them, We sell all GA wires and colors

I think 10g will be a to big.......I used it on 14g and was tight.Solder them............

I use and believe in 14 gauge speaker wire. Don't get caught up in brand. Wire is wire.

16 awg is typically more than adequate. 14 gauge could be used for really long runs (over 100ft), or if you are pushing a lot of power to large front channels.
