Designed for professional irrigation installations, this 18 AWG, 12-conductor control cable comes on a 1,000 ft spool and is engineered for underground low-energy circuits. PVC-insulated conductors and an overall polyethylene jacket with a nylon rip cord make trenching, splicing, and long runs reliable and straightforward.

  • 12 color-coded 18 AWG conductors: Supports multiple valve circuits and reduces the need for intermediate splices on larger jobs.
  • PVC insulation on each conductor: Provides consistent low-voltage performance and easy stripping for terminations.
  • Polyethylene outer jacket: Protects against moisture, soil chemicals and abrasion for direct-burial installations.
  • Nylon rip cord included: Allows fast, clean jacket removal for splices and terminations without damaging conductors.
  • Direct-burial listing: Suitable for underground runs to valves, solenoids and irrigation controllers when installed per local code.
  • Installer-friendly spool: 1,000 ft length reduces joins and saves time on medium and large irrigation zones.

Ideal for both commercial and residential controllers and valve wiring, this multi-conductor spool balances long run capacity with durable jacket protection. For best results use irrigation-rated waterproof splice kits or gel connectors and follow local electrical codes for low-voltage underground wiring. Contact technical support or consult product datasheets for handling, ampacity, and splice recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does '18/12' mean on this wire?
It indicates 18 AWG conductor size and 12 individual conductors on the spool, suitable for multiple valve circuits.
Can this wire be buried directly in the ground?
Yes. The cable is listed for direct burial and features a polyethylene jacket that protects conductors when installed per code.
Which connectors should I use for splices?
Use irrigation-rated waterproof splice kits, gel-filled connectors, or insulated screw terminals designed for low-voltage valve wiring.
How do I strip the jacket for splices?
Use the nylon rip cord to open the jacket, then strip individual PVC-insulated conductors with an 18 AWG wire stripper for clean terminations.
