NMWU Direct Burial Cable · 14 AWG 2 Conductor with Ground · 75 m Coil · Various Mfg. NMWU2C1475
What this product is for
This Various Mfg. NMWU direct burial cable is a 14 AWG copper building wire with 2 insulated conductors and a bare bonding wire, supplied in a 75 m (246 ft) coil. It is intended for underground installations including direct burial, and for wiring exposed to weather in wet or dry locations where not exposed to mechanical injury.
Use for
Use for branch circuits, outdoor runs, detached structures, yard lighting feeds, and other installations where CSA-rated NMWU cable is required. This cable is commonly used on 15A circuits with #14 AWG copper conductors, subject to Canadian Electrical Code requirements.
Avoid for
Avoid applications where the cable may be exposed to mechanical damage without protection, or where a higher ampacity conductor size is required. Do not substitute this cable where project specifications call for another cable type, conductor count, or voltage rating.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors needing a 75 m coil of underground feeder-style NMWU cable for residential and light commercial outdoor wiring in Canada. It suits jobs where direct burial capability, sunlight resistance, and wet-location suitability matter.
Installed in
Typically installed underground, in outdoor runs to sheds or garages, in wet basements, and in exposed-to-weather locations permitted by code. Rule of thumb: #14 AWG copper is typically paired with 15A circuits, but final conductor and overcurrent protection selection must match the installation and local code.
Why this product exists
NMWU cable is designed for Canadian installations that need a non-metallic sheathed cable suitable for direct earth burial and wet environments. Compared with indoor-only cable types, it adds a sunlight-, moisture-, and fungus-resistant outer jacket for underground and outdoor use.
Compared with similar products
Compared with NMD90 Loomex used for dry indoor locations, NMWU is intended for underground and weather-exposed use. Compared with 12 AWG NMWU, this 14 AWG version is typically selected for lighter 15A branch circuits rather than 20A circuits. Actual performance depends on installation conditions, protection method, layout, and local electrical code.
