Designed for irrigation and low-voltage control systems, this 18 AWG 8-conductor control cable delivers reliable connections between controllers, valves, and sensors. The 250 ft reel provides ample length for residential and commercial sprinkler installations.

  • 18 AWG, 8 individually insulated conductors — 250 ft reel for medium to large installations.
  • Solid bare copper conductors for consistent conductivity and low resistance across control runs.
  • PVC insulation and outer jacket with CL2 rating for low-voltage control circuits; 150V nominal rating.
  • Temperature range typically -20°C to 60°C; suitable for indoor or protected outdoor installations (not direct burial unless specified).
  • Color-coded conductors simplify identification at controllers and valve solenoids; compatible with most irrigation controllers.
  • Easy-to-dispense spool reduces pull tension and speeds installation; sold in a compact 250 ft coil for convenience.

Check local electrical and irrigation codes before installation. For underground burial or extended outdoor exposure, use direct-burial-rated cable or conduit. Refer to the product label and manufacturer datasheet for exact certifications, ratings, and installation instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 18/8 irrigation control wire used for?
Used to connect irrigation controllers to valve solenoids, sensors, and other low-voltage control devices in sprinkler systems.
Can this cable be buried directly underground?
No. Standard CL2 18/8 control cable is not typically rated for direct burial; use direct-burial cable or place it in conduit.
Are the conductors color-coded for easy installation?
Yes. The 8 conductors are typically individually color-coded to match controller terminals and valve wiring for faster installation.
What are the electrical and temperature ratings of this wire?
This 18 AWG control cable is CL2-rated for low-voltage circuits, typically 150V nominal and rated about -20°C to 60°C.
