What Gauge Wire Can the 3/8 Inch Wire Loom Hold?

Question

Question:

I am looking for a loom to hold a single 3 gague wire running to the back of my truck for a winch mounted on a Rec. Mount plate. Will this 3/8 loom hold a 3 gauge wire?

Expert Reply:

3 gauge wire is about 0.229 inches in diameter, so Wire Loom 3/8" Diameter like # 39035 will give it enough space for safety without further restricting the wire for heat dispersion. It will also avoid pinching or crimping the wire. You can use the Metal Loom Clamp - 1/2" # A0500 to secure it if desired. Technically this loom could hold up to 00 gauge wire (0.365 inches diameter).

Hey Paul! You can connect the batteries to the 7-way on your truck. However, the 12V from the factory 7-way is really designed to be a maintenance charge. Between the smaller gauge factory wiring and the long run from the alternator to the back of…

I would certainly recommend the 1/2-inch wire loom #459075-1. It will hold two jacketed 2 wire 10-gauge wire and three jacketed 2 wire 12-gauge wire. See pictures to the right. In addition, I was able to fit comfortably eleven individual 16-gauge…

I would go with a 3/8 inch diameter, like #39035. That should provide enough space for the wires and still give good coverage. This loom comes in a 10 foot length. If you needed less of expect that you might have other wiring to run with the existing…
