Try it see what happens... >:l
Can you splice them? Yes. Should you splice them? No.
It really all depends on what your over current protection is. If your #12 wire is on a 20 amp breaker, your #18 wire can melt and cause a fire without tripping the breaker. I do not know what is the amp rating of 18 gauge wire. -- Sparkfighter
What else can I help you with?
Which gauge wire is a 12v?
The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.
What is the difference in wire gauge size?
Heavier wires do not necessarily mean better sound. Typically, 18 or 16 guage wire is sufficient for home audio systems. If you are going to be running extremely long distances, say 100 feet or more, then increase the gauge size to like 14 or 12 to keep from losing too much audio signal. In a car, 18 guage wire should be quite sufficient.
What gauge wire for a 2 amp in-line fuse?
Any wire size larger that a # 18 AWG can be fused at 2 amps.
What is thicker 14 gauge or 18 gauge fence wire?
Well I am asnwering this just because the body piercing industry uses AWG (American Wire Gauge) for a standard jewellery gauge. So 14g is thicker than 18g, the higher the number the thinner it is, the lower the number the thicker it is.
What can I do about new Friedrich air conditioner's cord which is 2 feet too short looks ugly in reaching outlet does a 9' extension cord risk harming the unit violate the warranty?
I don't know about the warranty, but the unit will run fine using an extension cord IF you buy one that is heavy-duty. Look for a cord that is 12 gauge or even 10 gauge. If you use a 14, 16, or 18 gauge cord (these may be too small), the unit could be damaged.
Can you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair?
Yes, you can splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair. Make sure to use wire connectors or solder the wires together securely to ensure a strong and reliable connection. It's important to match the wire gauges properly to maintain the integrity of the electrical circuit.
Which gauge wire is a 12v?
The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.
What is the maximum amperage that an 18 gauge wire can handle at 12 volts?
An 18 gauge wire can handle a maximum amperage of approximately 16.5 amps at 12 volts.
What is thicker 12 gauge or 18 gauge steel?
The lower the gauge the heavier, sheet metal, wire & shotguns...
What is the recommended gauge for electrical wire to use in a residential setting, specifically when considering the use of 18 gauge electrical wire?
The recommended gauge for electrical wire in a residential setting is typically 14 or 12 gauge wire. 18 gauge wire is generally not recommended for household use as it may not be able to handle the electrical load safely.
What is the ampacity of 18 gauge wire?
The ampacity of 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amperes.
