PVC insulation can be adjusted for flexibility, while rubber insulation offers the highest flexibility in other cable options.
Resistant to acid, abrasion, alkalis, flame, gas, and oil
Flat jacketed cable is one of the three common types used for submersible pump installation and offers the most mechanical and extra abrasion protection in a well casing.
Water and sunlight resistant
Special packaging is available upon request. You can buy the cable option that best fits your application, including the right flexibility and packaging needs.
Proper grounding from the main panel to the pump is essential for safety; NEC code has required grounding for all submersible pump motors since 1989, and GFCI protection is required in wet environments. Contact us if you have a question about cable selection, sizing, or installation requirements.
Designed specifically for residential submersible pump application use, 8 Gauge submersible pump wire is a UL-listed deep well pump cable with annealed bare solid copper conductors insulated with PVC, twisted into a multi-conductor assembly. It includes a green ground wire
Built for homeowners with private wells, as well as contractors and commercial operators maintaining water systems, this cable includes a green ground wire for reliable pump wiring in deep well installations. Wire size selection is still required by the distance from the power source to the pump, since proper sizing helps limit voltage drop and ensures safe, efficient use.
This page covers the key features, construction, specifications, and sizing considerations of 8 Gauge submersible pump wire so you can choose the right cable for long-term pump performance and water system reliability.
The 8 Gauge, 3 Wire with Ground, Twisted Submersible Pump Wire is ideal for irrigation systems, providing durable and reliable power delivery to submersible pumps. Its robust design ensures consistent performance, even in demanding environments, especially when paired with well pipe matched to the system’s working pressure. Customers can easily view product details and specifications on our website to make informed purchasing decisions.
This 8 Gauge, 3 Wire with ground twisted submersible pump wire is purpose‑built for wiring submersible well pumps inside the well casing. It features annealed bare solid copper conductors with PVC insulation, twisted together with a green ground wire for a compact, durable cable rated for 600V and up to 20A.
Construction
Annealed bare solid or stranded copper conductors insulated with PVC and twisted to form a 75°C 600 Volt Multi-Conductor Submersible Pump Cable. Submersible pump cable sizes range from #14 to #4/0 AWG, and most residential pump cables are sized between #6 and #14 AWG to help you find the right size for the job. Larger water well applications can extend into MCM sizes from 250 to 2,000, with 500 MCM commonly the largest used in water well work, and cable weight can exceed five pounds per foot for heavy cable. UL Listed per UL 83 Type THW as Deep Well Submersible Pump Cable. Note: the data shown is approximate data and subject to industry standards and manufacturing tolerances.
