As a benefit of upsizing, Copperweld CCA thermostat wire lowers voltage drop for long feeds and offers greater copper surface contact area at termination points.
In March 2022, 16 AWG CCA was approved for Class 2 HVAC/Thermostat applications per UL 13. Thermostat manufacturers are now able to utilize our bare solid 16 AWG CCA conductors as an efficient alternative to 18 AWG copper in their finished cable constructions.
CCA efficiently transports low-voltage signals between HVAC system components and the thermostat—especially important in runs longer than 100 feet. Due to upsizing, CCA improves the efficiency of the conductor, electrically and mechanically. CCA also has remarkable conductivity-to-weight ratio, at only 37% of the density of pure copper, making bare CCA conductors more cost efficient to transport and finished cables easier to install.
Copperweld offers multitude of tracer wire options. Below is a list of our most popular wires. Contact our sales team to discuss your project needs and start a quote.
