M22759/32-16-82 GRAY/RED BTF STRIPE

M22759/32 Tefzel Wire — 16 AWG, Gray/Red Stripe

The M22759/32-16-82 Gray/Red BTF Stripe — SKU: M22759/32-16-82-PRSP is a genuine MIL-spec M22759/32 dual-wall Tefzel-insulated stranded wire in 16 AWG with a gray/red striped insulation, supplied by Arctic Performance Parts as a pre-striped BTF (Build To Fill) shelf stock wire for professional motorsport wiring harness construction. M22759/32 is the heavier-wall variant of the Tefzel wire family, engineered for motorsport power and mixed-function wiring where enhanced mechanical insulation protection is required.

M22759/32 — Dual-Wall Tefzel

Where M22759/16 uses a single thin-wall ETFE construction optimised for lightweight signal wiring, M22759/32 applies a heavier dual-wall Tefzel insulation that withstands greater mechanical stress — abrasion against chassis edges, cut-through under grommet compression, and sustained contact with adjacent components in a tightly routed power harness. Both variants share the same ETFE chemistry, retaining the 150°C continuous temperature rating, exceptional fuel and oil resistance, and chemical stability of the full Tefzel wire family, while the thicker wall of M22759/32 extends the wire’s service life in the more demanding routing environments associated with power circuit wiring in race cars.

Gray/Red — Colour Code 82

Gray/red (code 82) at 16 AWG M22759/32 identifies shield drain conductors for shielded red-family positive supply cables in heavy-gauge power harnesses — the gray base marking the drain or screen function while the red stripe cross-references the conductor to the red-family supply circuit whose shield it terminates. At 16 AWG, shielded red-family power cables carrying fuel pump switched feeds, ignition coil supply rails, and high-current auxiliary loads may require EMI suppression by screening. The drain wire in dual-wall M22759/32 gray/red provides both the correct colour cross-reference to the shielded red-family circuit and the insulation robustness appropriate for a drain conductor compressed against 16 AWG power cables in a tightly bundled power harness run.

16 AWG — Gauge Selection

16 AWG M22759/32 handles higher continuous current than the 18 AWG gauge — suited to fuel pump primary feeds, main cooling fan circuits, high-current relay outputs, and dedicated sub-system power distribution where the conductor cross-section provides capacity for continuous loads in the 20–30A range. The dual-wall Tefzel insulation provides the additional mechanical protection required for heavier power conductors routed through the demanding environments of a motorsport chassis and engine bay. The stranded tin-plated copper conductor provides the flexibility and vibration fatigue resistance essential for motorsport harness routing through the bends, grommet passes, and chassis runs that power wiring must navigate in a professionally built race car harness.

BTF Shelf Stock — Ready to Ship

The PRSP designation confirms this wire is held as pre-striped shelf stock at Arctic Performance Parts, available for immediate dispatch without the lead time of a custom stripe run. Professional harness builders working to tight build schedules can order the gray/red colour combination and receive it promptly — a key advantage when a specific colour is needed to complete a build on deadline. Arctic Performance Parts stocks a broad range of M22759/32 striped colours across standard motorsport power wiring gauges.
