Compare four methods of ordering circuit wire
Standard Put Ups
Do you just need a standard spool of wire? Van Meter stocks 500’ and 2,500’ spools of most sizes and colors. If you don’t need extra services like cutting wire to length, parallel reels and custom labeling, this is the quickest and easiest way to get your wire.
Coilpaks
Did you know Southwire’s SIMpull CoilPAKs reduce pulling tension by 50%? That’s just one way CoilPAKs improve versatility and efficiency for branch circuit wire pulls by reducing the time and energy you spend setting up and handling bulky wire spools. Here are some more ways the CoilPAK makes material handling, pulling wire out of the package and pulling wire through conduit easier, so you can be more efficient with your time and energy:
- Easier pulling with SIMpull NoLube wire jacket
- Built-in handles for safer, easier material handling
- No more broken spools
- Inertia-free payoff
- Lightweight (less than 50 lbs!)
- Available in striped neutrals and 1, 2 or 3 conductors
Wire Barrels
If you would rather avoid the physical challenge of moving, setting up and pulling circuit wire spools, wire barrels are a more durable, easy-to-pull solution. Wooden spools are bulky and breakable. Plus, they can end up in partial lengths that are difficult to store. Wire barrels reduce pulling tension, material handling and scrap wire, so you can be more efficient with your effort and materials.
- Easier pulling with SIMpull NoLube wire jacket
- Stationary package design to further reduce pulling tension
- Designed to lower potential for lifting/handling/pulling injuries
- Patented parallel construction to reduce material handling and setup
- Avoid broken spools and spool over-turn conductors
Speed Pulls
Our speed pull service reduces the number of reels needed on a job and helps achieve maximum job site flow by combining multiple bundles on one spool (wire and/or cable into one compact, flexible, multi-conductor cable). Available for 16-6 AWG wire, we can print on the wire and accommodate up to 45 conductors.
- Provides easy installation
- Saves labor
- Lowers total install cost
- Saves time with easy breakouts and termination
- Increases safety
- Simplifies material management at job site
- Variety of configurations including parallel, staggered (standard and reverse), stacked parallel and bundle within bundle
