So, now I have a question. I just bought a 15-91 in a cabinet and the ends of the wires don't look wonderful. .... not as bad as this FW but I think it would be good to replace the wiring. I looked on sew-classic for a controller for one of my FWs and a bobbin winder tire for the 15-91 and noticed wire..... there is 18/2 SPT-1 and 18/2 SPT-2. What's the difference??? other that 10cents more per foot? 18 gauge is 18 gauge..... what's the SPT-1 and SPT-2 stand for?
Anyone out there that can answer my question?
Hi Jean,
Beautiful wall hanging.
18/2 Spt2 has thicker insulation than 18/2 Spt1. I prefer the SPT2 for controllers and power cords and SPT1 for lamps and motors. I find the SPT2 usable for lamps and motors but a bit bulky with the extra insulation for UL knots and tight bends.
