Can you leave outdoor extension cords outside?
If you leave an outdoor extension cord out in the rain, allow it to dry in place before unplugging it and storing it. While it will remain safe in place until it dries, over time exposure to the elements can deteriorate the heavy insulation that makes it weather resistant. For optimal performance and longevity, it's recommended to store outdoor power cords indoors when not in use.
What type of extension cord should be used outside?
Outdoor power cords are designed with a thick, durable layer of weather resistant insulation, typically made of rubber, vinyl, or plastic. Look for cords marked with the letter "W" or bright colors like orange, indicating they are rated for outdoor use. These cords can withstand moisture, temperature changes, and sunlight better than standard indoor extension cords.
Can outdoor extension cords get rained on?
Yes, outdoor power cords are designed to withstand exposure to rain and other elements. However, it's best to allow the cord to dry completely before using it again to avoid any potential electrical hazards. Prolonged exposure to moisture can eventually degrade the insulation, so it's advisable to store outdoor cords indoors when not in use.
Which is better, 12 gauge or 14 gauge extension cord?
The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more heavy-duty the cord. 14 AWG cords like our NEMA 5-15P/R 14AWG SJTW 50FT are suitable for medium-duty applications, while 12 AWG cords like the NEMA 5-15P/R 12AWG SJTW 100FT are better for heavy-duty, high-amperage tools and appliances.
How do I protect my electrical cords outside?
To protect outdoor connections from rain and moisture, drill holes in a weatherproof box or cover, just large enough for the cords to pass through. Insert the plugs, then snap on the lid to shield the connections from the elements. You can also use weatherproof tape or sealant to further waterproof the connections.
How do you tell if an electrical cord can be used outside?
Look for these indicators that an extension cord is rated for outdoor use:
- The letter "W" on the packaging or cord jacket
- Thick, heavy-duty insulation made of rubber, vinyl, or bright orange plastic
- Clearly labeled as "outdoor" or "weather-resistant"
