A vivid Red marker on one conductor of this two conductor parallel construction affords the user a positive circuit identification in all series-parallel blasting patterns (Fig 1.). Wires are individually insulated with tough water and oil resistant yellow plastic insulations. One wire can easily be separated from the other, without special tools, at any point along its length with cutting and splicing both leads (Fig. 2). Field personnel can make easier, quicker connections to the blasting wires. Costing only slightly more than a single connecting wire this easy-strip wire construction is specifically designed and packaged to fulfill the exacting blasting techniques.

Various Colors Are Also Available
Combined with our Standard Yellow and Black colored vinyl Insulation we now offer Pink and Red Insulation for these often difficult series-parallel blasting patterns. A two-color connecting wire system can eliminate costly time consuming check out of wire terminations in large multi-shots. There is no price increase for these colored insulations.

The Industry standard, Yellow or Black Vinyl-Plastic Insulation is low resistance and has a high breaking strength.

The rapidly growing technical aspects of engineered blasting techniques used by the Pyrotechnic Industry today, demands far greater reliability from the accessories used to detonate the shot. our field proven Vinyl-Plastic insulating compounds meet and surpass the needs for tough, rugged wire insulation. Both oil and water resistant, they are able to take abuse and punishment of rough terrain. These products are compatible with AN/PO type explosions. These wires are designed, engineered, produced, packaged and shipped to fill the needs of all electric blasting systems.

There is no doubt that copper conductors have proven to be the best means of carrying current from a source of electric energy to the end use. Copper is not only a good conductor of electricity but it also has good tensile and flexing strength. Copper connecting wire is almost always of the soft drawn type with no plating or overlay over the metal.

"Piggy Back" Connecting Wires
Two individuals solid copper conductors, each distinctly color-coded(1 Red - 1 Yellow) and separated, can be wound together on one spool.

This system allows the shooter to have two colors available without untwisting or pulling the insulated wires apart.
