SPRINKLER WIRE

Sprinkler Wire is a specialized low-voltage cable designed to bridge the gap between an irrigation controller and the solenoid valves that manage water flow. Since these wires are installed underground, they feature a rugged, moisture-resistant jacket made of high-density polyethylene—that allows for direct burial without the need for protective conduit.

Sprinkler and Irrigation Wire

Sprinkler wire is a specialized multi-conductor cable designed to provide reliable low-voltage power and signaling between irrigation controllers and automatic solenoid valves. Engineered for direct burial, this cable features solid bare copper conductors that are individually insulated with high-quality PVC and bundled within a rugged, moisture-resistant outer jacket. The parallel or cabled construction is built to withstand constant exposure to soil acidity, lawn chemicals, and damp underground environments. With a 30V to 600V rating (depending on specific UL listing), sprinkler wire ensures precise timing and operation for residential and commercial irrigation systems, allowing for seamless management of multiple watering zones from a single central timer.

Key Features
  • Direct Burial Rated: Specifically engineered for installation in trenches without the need for conduit, reducing labor and material costs.
  • Color-Coded Conductors: Internal wires are vibrantly color-coded to simplify the identification of specific watering zones and common grounds.
  • Solid Copper Performance: Utilizes solid bare copper conductors for superior signal integrity and ease of termination at the controller and valve box.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Jacket: Encased in a durable, sunlight-resistant PVC or PE jacket that prevents degradation from soil moisture and underground pests.
  • Multiple Configurations: Available in 2 to 25-conductor counts to accommodate everything from small backyard gardens to large-scale commercial landscapes.
  • Industry Standards: Manufactured to meet UL Standard 1493 and CSA requirements for low-voltage underground applications.
Common Applications
  • Residential Lawn Sprinklers: The primary cable used to connect home irrigation timers to individual zone valves in the yard.
  • Commercial Turf Management: Ideal for large-scale watering systems in golf courses, sports fields, and municipal parks.
  • Drip Irrigation Systems: Used to power low-voltage solenoids for precision watering in flower beds and agricultural rows.
  • Greenhouse Automation: Provides the necessary wiring for automated misting and irrigation controls in climate-controlled growing environments.
  • Landscape Lighting Control: Occasionally utilized in dual-purpose trenches to trigger low-voltage relays or decorative outdoor features.
  • Agricultural Water Control: Deployed in farming operations to manage remote pump starts and secondary water distribution valves.
  • Hardscape Irrigation: Frequently installed beneath patios and walkways during construction to provide permanent water management power.
