I need 18/3 . 3ft power cord?
A shopper
on Dec 1, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The lower the gauge number of a cord (the "18" in "18/3", or the "16" in "16 AWG"), the more electricity the cord can handle safely. This means that the "16AWG NEMA 5-15 Power Extension Cord, 3ft" will likely be suitable for your application.

An easy way to remember is, "the larger the number , the smaller the wire." So this 16AWG is a thicker, heavier wire per conductor when compared to 18AWG.

Will this cord work on outdoor fountain ?
A shopper
on Jul 31, 2018
BEST ANSWER: NO, it is not. Big BLACK BOLD letters states this on the label: DO NOT USE WHEN WET.
Also, the cord is not marked for outdoor use, so that means it is for indoor use only, per the label on the cord.

It should be fine for a small fountain in wet conditions. Outer cord covering is moderately thick and should be protected from wear and the elements.

Perfect length
I needed a short extension cord for a single appliance. This works perfectly and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Fast delivery too.
