TGGT stands for Teflon, Glass, Glass, Teflon. It is a specialized high-temperature wire designed to handle continuous operating temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). The acronym describes its multi-layered construction: a flexible nickel-coated copper conductor wrapped in PTFE (Teflon) tape, bundled with fiberglass braids, and finished with a high-temperature Teflon jacket.
Yes, our TGGT wire is fully UL Style 5256 rated. UL 5256 is the official Underwriters Laboratories standard that certifies single-conductor appliance wiring material (AWM) for use up to 250°C and 600 volts. This rating guarantees that the wire has passed rigorous flame, thermal, and mechanical safety testing required for commercial and industrial heating applications.
The main difference is the temperature rating. SRML is typically rated for 150°C–200°C. TGGT is rated for 250°C. Additionally, TGGT uses Teflon tapes which offer better chemical resistance, while SRML uses silicone rubber which offers slightly more "rubbery" flexibility.
No. While TGGT is the standard for appliances up to 250°C, if your application exceeds this (such as inside a high-temp kiln or blast furnace), you would need to move up to MG (Mica-Glass) wire, which is rated for 450°C. Shop our entire High Temp Wire Collection here.
Yes. While fiberglass by itself can absorb moisture, the jacket on our TGGT wire is impregnated with a high-temperature finish that provides excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and flames.
Yes. 16 AWG TGGT is a standard replacement wire for internal oven circuitry in both commercial and residential settings. Because it is rated for 250°C (482°F), it can safely handle the high temperatures found behind the insulation and near the heating elements.
Because it uses 41 strands of nickel coated copper and thin tape-wrap insulation, 14 AWG TGGT is very flexible for its heat rating. It can be easily routed around heating elements and through tight internal appliance pathways without kinking. However, because of its multiple layers of glass and Teflon tape, it is slightly stiffer than silicone-based SRML (150°C/200°C).
Because TGGT is rated for 250°C, it has a much higher ampacity (current carrying capacity) than standard 90°C wire. However, always consult the NEC (National Electrical Code) for your specific equipment and ambient temperature to ensure the circuit is safely fused.
The primary difference is the dual-layer defense of PTFE and fiberglass. While some high-temp wires only use silicone or standard plastics that melt or off-gas at high temperatures, TGGT’s multi-layered construction allows it to remain structurally sound and electrically insulated even when exposed to direct, intense heat inside industrial ovens, furnaces, and heavy machinery.
