Options for 16 Gauge Wire to Power a 12 Volt Spot Sprayer in Bed of 2012 Ford F-150
Question:
I want to put a 12v spot sprayer with an 8 amp motor, 84inch of 16 gauge wire with alligator clips in the back of my pickup and use my pickup battery for power. The tank is 40 gallons. The 84inch cables will not reach the battery. I would need approximately 8 more feet to reach the battery. I have a 2012 ford f150 4 wheel drive crew cab. Thanks

We carry different types of 16 gauge wire. We have bonded 4-Wire, # 16-4B-1, jacketed 4 wire, # DW03240-1, bonded 3-Wire, # 16-3B-1, and single wire # 16-1-1.
Each of these are available in increments of 1 foot. So if you needed 8 feet you would enter 8 in the quantity box for an 8 foot length of wire. I would over estimate it because it is better to have too much wire than not enough.
You also might be interested in some heat shrink tubing # DW05744-10 to keep the splices water tight.
