For a 20 amp circuit, a 12-gauge copper ground wire is typically recommended. This wire size can safely handle the current and provide proper grounding for the circuit.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
