Ancor Purple 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 250'

Ancor Purple 16 AWG Tinned Copper Wire - 250' is the marine electrician's backbone for reliable, corrosion-resistant wiring on vessels of all sizes. Built to exceed UL 1426, ABYC, and US Coast Guard Charter Boat (CFR Title 46) standards, this wire delivers the durability that saltwater environments demand. Whether you're rewiring a center console, running power to new electronics, or repairing existing systems, having proper marine-grade wire on hand prevents costly failures and keeps your boat running safely.

The 16 AWG gauge provides ideal current-carrying capacity for mid-range circuit protection and lighting applications, while tinned copper construction resists corrosion far better than bare copper—critical when dealing with salt spray, humidity, and constant moisture exposure. Premium vinyl insulation rated at 600V and 105°C ensures the wire withstands both electrical demand and engine heat without degradation. The 250-foot spool length gives you enough wire for substantial rewiring projects or multiple repair jobs without waste, and the manageable 1-pound weight makes it easy to carry aboard or store in your electrical toolkit.

Experienced boaters and marine technicians rely on Ancor wire for everything from instrument panel connections to bilge pump circuits and navigation light installations. The purple insulation aids in quick circuit identification during troubleshooting and future maintenance. Use this wire with appropriate marine-grade connectors, terminals, and breakers to ensure code-compliant installations that pass Coast Guard inspections and keep your electrical system fault-free for years of reliable operation on the water.
