Southwire 13054222 14/2WG UF Wire 50-Foot Grey – Direct Burial Underground Wire

Overview

Southwire 13054222 UF Wire is a 14-gauge underground feeder cable designed for direct burial and outdoor wiring. The cable uses solid copper conductors inside a thermoplastic non-metallic jacket that is rated for 60°C in wet or dry locations. The rugged exterior is built to resist sunlight, moisture, and corrosion, making it a practical choice for outdoor lighting runs, general branch wiring, or replacement installs where soil or weather conditions may vary. This 50-foot coil offers a tidy, manageable length for residential projects while remaining flexible enough to handle typical outdoor routing scenarios.

Why choose UF Wire for direct burial and outdoor electrical projects

The UF (underground feed) designation signals suitability for buried or exposed wiring in a range of environments. Key benefits include a jacket that withstands sunlight and harsh outdoor conditions, flame retardant properties, and resistance to moisture and corrosion. The cable features two insulated conductors plus a bare ground, all contained within a single, durable sheath. It is UL Listed and manufactured in America, which can contribute to confidence in compatibility with standard electrical codes and practical field use.

• Coated in a sunlight resistant jacket that is flame retardant, moisture, and corrosion resistant
• Primarily used in direct burial applications, such as underground feeder to outdoor lighting or apparatus, exposed or concealed wiring in damp, moist, wet, dry, and corrosive locations
• UL Listed
• 14 gauge, 2 conductors with ground, 50' per coil
• Made in America

Applications and use cases

This UF wire is well-suited to a variety of outdoor and underground wiring scenarios. Typical uses include general branch wiring, new wiring installations, and replacement wiring for outdoor lighting or equipment. When routed as a direct burial feeder, it provides a single, continuous path for circuits that serve exterior fixtures, landscaping lights, or outdoor receptacles, while the ground conductor helps support safe grounding paths where permitted by code.

• Outdoor lighting and equipment feeds in residential settings
• Direct burial runs to outdoor fixtures or apparatus
• Replacement or upgrade wiring where buried or exposed paths must tolerate moisture or soil conditions

What to expect during installation

Plan for a straightforward run with two insulated conductors and a ground, all within a single jacket. The 50-foot coil provides a convenient length for shorter to mid-range installations, reducing the need for excessive splices. The cable’s UL listing supports use in approved installations, while the 14-gauge size suits typical lighting and general branch circuits in appropriate electrical environments. Always follow local codes and NEC guidelines when selecting conductors for buried or exterior wiring.
