18AWG 6ft NEMA 5-15P Power Cord
This 18AWG power cord pigtail features a NEMA 5-15P male plug and an open wiring end for direct connections. It is built for DIY repairs or appliance replacements requiring a standard three-prong wall connection. The heavy-duty SJT jacket and reinforced prongs provide durability for daily use. Rated for 10 amps and 1250 watts at 125VAC, it suits common household devices like garbage disposals.
Upgrade from lighter gauge cords
Replacing a thinner 16AWG or 18AWG 12-foot cord with this 6-foot 18AWG version reduces voltage drop over the shorter run. The jump is worth it when the existing cord is damaged, too long, or lacks a reinforced plug design. It also replaces fixed appliance cords where a field-wireable open end is preferred. The included wiring connector simplifies installation compared to bare wire termination.
10A capacity for small appliances
The cord comfortably handles loads up to 10 amps and 1200 watts at 120VAC, covering garbage disposals and similar motor-driven appliances. It runs out at the 10A limit, so it cannot serve higher-draw equipment rated for 13A or 15A circuits. The 6-foot length limits placement flexibility compared to 12-foot alternatives in the same gauge. Buyers needing 15A capacity or longer reach must select a heavier gauge.
