Automotive Primary Wire 16 AWG

This single-conductor automotive wire uses stranded copper conductors with PVC insulation. It is rated for 60 V and carries the GPT trade designation. The 100 ft length suits wiring repairs, accessory installations and general low-voltage automotive work.

Stranded Copper with PVC Jacket

Stranded construction gives the wire flexibility for routing through tight channels and around corners without work hardening. The black PVC insulation resists abrasion, oil and typical under-hood fluids encountered in daily vehicle use.

Replaces Damaged Factory Wiring

The wire restores circuits where original insulation has cracked or conductors have corroded. It is not suited for high-voltage ignition systems or applications that require a higher temperature rating than standard GPT provides.
