10 AWG stranded bare copper is a common size for residential and commercial grounding. It is commonly used for grounding electrical panels, bonding swimming pool equipment, and connecting grounding electrodes (ground rods). Because it is stranded, it is much easier to pull through conduit than solid wire.
Yes, 10 AWG bare copper wire is a staple for both indoor and outdoor grounding and bonding. Because it is uninsulated, it provides a continuous, high-surface-area connection to the earth, which is essential for grounding electrical systems to ground rods or bonding equipment like solar array frames. Our wire is "soft drawn" for easy handling and manufactured from 99.9% pure copper to resist environmental corrosion and maintain maximum conductivity in outdoor environments.
Soft drawn copper undergoes an annealing process that makes the metal much more pliable and easier to handle than "hard drawn" copper. For #10 gauge bare copper wire, this means it is easier to bend, loop, and terminate within tight enclosures or around grounding lugs without the copper becoming brittle or snapping.
Yes, our #10 stranded bare copper wire is manufactured to meet or exceed ASTM B-3 (for soft or annealed copper) and ASTM B-8 (for concentric-lay-stranded copper conductors). This ensures consistent diameter, conductivity, and tensile strength for professional-grade installations.
It depends on the installation. Solid Bare Copper is often required by code for residential grounding electrodes because it is rugged and stays in place. Stranded Bare Copper is much more flexible, making it the preferred choice for pulling through conduit or for use in industrial machinery where vibration might occur.
Yes, provided it meets your local electrical code requirements. While 8 AWG solid is the most common requirement for the structural bonding grid (per NEC 680.26), 10 AWG stranded is frequently used for bonding smaller equipment, such as pool motors or metal light niches, to the bonding grid. Always check your local jurisdiction’s specific requirements for pool and spa safety.
