Southwire 97168808 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Southwire 97168808 replacement cord handle a 15 amp tool or appliance?
Yes. The Southwire 97168808 is a 14/3 SJTW replacement cord rated 15 amps at 125 volts, which works out to 1875 watts. That covers a standard 15A branch circuit load, so anything plugged into a normal household or shop receptacle is within range.
2) Can I use this Southwire replacement cord outdoors or in a wet area?
No. The 97168808 is designated for indoor use and is not rated for wet locations or direct burial. For an outdoor tool, a yard machine, or anything exposed to rain or washdown, pick a cord specifically listed for wet location use.
3) Does this 14/3 cord have a ground so I can rewire a three-prong power tool?
It does. The cord is a three-conductor 14/3 with an equipment grounding conductor, terminated in a NEMA 5-15P grounding plug. That makes it the right replacement for a tool or appliance that originally had a three-prong grounded plug. Rewiring a two-wire ungrounded device with it gives you no ground path unless the device actually has a ground point to land on.
4) Is this an extension cord or a pigtail for repairing equipment?
It is a replacement cord, not an extension cord. There are zero outlets on it, meaning one end is a NEMA 5-15P plug and the other is meant to be wired into the appliance or tool. If you need to plug something in at the far end, you want an extension cord instead.
5) What plug is on the Southwire 97168808, and will it fit a standard wall receptacle?
The molded end is a NEMA 5-15P, the ordinary three-prong 125 volt plug with two flat blades and a round ground pin. It drops straight into any standard 15 amp or 20 amp 125V receptacle. It will not fit a 5-20R-only twist or T-slot-exclusive outlet arrangement or any 250V configuration.
6) How cold can this replacement cord get before the jacket stiffens or cracks?
Rated from -40 F up to 140 F (-40 C to 60 C). The jacket is PVC, SJTW construction, so it stays serviceable in an unheated garage, shop, or cold storage room. The 140 F ceiling is the limit near heat-producing equipment, so keep it off hot motor housings and heater elements.
7) Is the Southwire 97168808 UL listed for use in a commercial facility?
The cord carries a cULus listing, which covers both US and Canadian listing requirements. Note that the separate CSA certification flag is not applicable here, so if your spec calls out CSA specifically rather than accepting the cULus mark, verify that with your inspector.
8) What is the outside diameter of this 14/3 cord, for sizing a strain relief or cord grip?
Jacket OD is .365 inch. Size your bushing, cord grip, or connector for that range when you land it in the equipment housing. The construction is pressure-filled rather than tubed, so the jacket is solid against the conductors and clamps down without collapsing.
9) Can I use this cord where a flame retardant jacket is required?
No. The 97168808 is not a flame retardant cord. For plenum spaces, stage and theatrical work, or any spec that calls for a flame retardant jacket, specify a cord that carries that rating outright.
