UL 1332 26 AWG FEP Hook-Up Wire for Appliance Internal Wiring
UL AWM Style 1332 26 AWG FEP hook-up wire, rated 200°C and 300 Vac, is a specific conductor-size configuration within Style 1332’s broader 30 AWG–10 AWG range. This page focuses on the 26 AWG SKU as a procurement item — its confirmed FEP insulation requirement, conductor-form options, and the specification details an RFQ needs — rather than a general discussion of why FEP may suit warmer appliance sections. The full Style 1332 range is covered by our broader UL1332 FEP Wire category; this page is centered specifically on 26 AWG.

13/12 Mil FEP Insulation at 26 AWG
The confirmed insulation requirement for UL 1332 is extruded FEP at 13 mils minimum average thickness and 12 mils minimum thickness at any point, applying across the Style’s full 30–10 AWG range — this figure is not tiered by conductor size group, so this page does not invent a separate value specific to 26 AWG. This page does not convert this figure into an invented finished outside diameter; conductor geometry, including finished OD, is order-specific and depends on the actual conductor construction.
Solid or Stranded: A Conductor-Form Decision the RFQ Must State
UL 1332 permits both solid and stranded conductor construction at 26 AWG. This page does not default to one construction — the drawing or BOM should specify which form is required. Neither form is described here as inherently more flexible, more reliable, or better suited to a particular termination method than the other; where a specific handling or termination outcome matters to your process, that should be confirmed against the actual ordered construction rather than assumed from the conductor form alone.
Optional Covering and Resistance Ratings
UL Style 1332 permits an optional covering over the FEP-insulated conductor — either extruded FEP at 2 mils or heavier, or glass braid at 7 mils or heavier — and optional Oil Resistant 80°C and Gasoline Resistant ratings. None of these are standard on every UL 1332 26 AWG order; this page does not describe every unit as covered, oil resistant, or gasoline resistant by default. If your application requires any of these, state it explicitly in your RFQ.
Common Gaps in a UL 1332 26 AWG RFQ
A number of specification fields are easy to leave out of an initial enquiry and commonly need a follow-up before quotation can proceed. These are typical information gaps, not observations about any particular buyer: conductor plating required by the drawing but not stated in the enquiry; insulation colour not specified; a maximum finished OD not supplied despite a tight connector cavity; an optional oil or gasoline requirement not identified; an optional covering requirement not identified; quantity provided without a packaging requirement; a cut length requested without a tolerance; and a drawing that specifies a terminal while terminal information is omitted from the enquiry. Including these details up front shortens the quotation cycle.
What UL 1332 Does Not Automatically Define
The Style data does not automatically define: conductor material, plating, strand count, strand diameter, conductor resistance, ampacity, current rating, finished OD, bend radius, flexibility class, standard colour, MOQ, lead time, stock, reel length, or production capacity. These are RFQ fields unless separately documented — none of them are invented on this page.
