SCOPE |
| |
1.1 |
This specification covers a cable containing two wires laid
in parallel with a web joining them, listed as Sprinkler
System Wire, suitable for direct burial, for operation up to
600 volts and temperatures up to 60ēC. Listed by UL or ETL
or CSA. |

CONSTRUCTION: |
| |
2.1 |
Conductors: |
| |
|
Soft drawn bare copper meeting the requirements of ASTM
specification B-3 or B-8. |
| |
2.2 |
Insulation: |
| |
|
Low density high molecular weight polyethylene and a thickness
of 0.045". One leg has raised ridges for polarity. |
| |
2.3 |
Testing: |
| |
|
After scoring the web between the conductors with a knife,
the conductors must be able to be separated without showing
copper and must meet the minimum wall thickness of .045" everywhere
along the insulation wall. |

SPLICING RECOMMENDATIONS |
| |
Wire splices are the weak link of any
electrical circuit. It is especially important to make
proper joints in irrigation systems because the joints are
exposed to wet and damp environments that can cause
corrosion of the copper conductor, and premature failure.
Paige Electric recommends the strict use of Model DBR/Y-6,
as manufactured by the 3M Company (Paige specification
P7364D) |
