i would have to take a guess at this one and say yes aslong as its rather tough to snap. if i remember right 26 gauge wire is rather thin. I use 20 gauge wire 0.8mm and finding it a little to thick for anything smaller than a fox but 24 gauge is the lowest i would probably go.

ive been taught though that the thinner the wire the better as long as it can take the strain. The U.S and British army both carry 24 gauge wire in their survival kits for multiple purposes, snaring being one of them.

What is themost common wire used for a door contact?

The most common wire used for a door contact is 22-gauge stranded wire. It is flexible, easy to work with, and provides reliable connections for door contact sensors.


Does a 20 amp circuit require a number 12 gauge wire?

Yes, a 20 amp circuit typically requires a minimum of a number 12 gauge wire to handle the current safely. Using a smaller gauge wire could lead to overheating and potentially a fire hazard. Always follow the electrical code requirements for wiring circuits.


Can a 120 volt water heater work over a 14 gauge wire at 300 feet?

A 120-volt water heater should not be run over a 14-gauge wire at 300 feet. The voltage drop over such a long distance would be significant, potentially causing the water heater to not function properly or even become a safety hazard. It is recommended to use a larger gauge wire or locate the heater closer to the power source.


What size wire in a 40 amp 220 volt circuit?

Hard to answer this question with out the load type and amperage. Depending on the type of load some wire feeders have to be increased by 25%. For a correct answer state what the three phase load is and its wattage or amperage.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


What gauge wire should you use for wiring a dock - in conduit - 350 ft at 220 volts?

That depends on the load. In other words how many amps does your load utilize or how many watts? Either figure will work. <<>> Wire size is based on amperage. The higher the load amperage the larger the wire size has to be. In this case also, the wire has to be increased in size to over come the voltage drop for the distance to the load. To receive an answer restate the question with the load amperage or wattage.

What wire gauge used for headphones?

The wire gauge in thin headphone cables is quite small. I have read of people rewiring their headphones using 12 Gauge wire. There are commercial cables that use 11 gauge. The thicker the wire the less the resistance up to a point. Many headphones use 22 or 24 gauge and it seems to work OK.
