Hello forum,
Been rather quiet lately so I thought I would stir the pot with a relevant question
on my project.
I have always planned on restricting the wire on my plane to tefzel, mil spec from
Steinair or BandC. Ive read and reread Bobs book and see his recommendation
(in the text) is not restricted to this level but he has a clear process for
using wire (or, more accurately, identifying if the wire is usable) of unknown
pedigree. I have a collection of single conductor and shielded wire that is
all mil-w-16878D. Some is labeled as 200C and some with 105C temperature rating.
None of the wire is below a strand configuration of 7/30.
The question is, should I use this wire? Also, if used, should I restrict its use
to the pilot side of the firewall?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
Dan Theis

Heres a chart of Mil-W-16878.
http://www.standard-wire.com/mil_w_16878_cable_designation.html
Not exactly sure what version you have but generally we want to use PTFE or FEP-coated
wire, 600V, 200C. For example the seller below handles mil-w-16878/4
which is nearly the same as mil-w-22759 commonly sold as aviation wire. One advantage
is the -16878 comes in different colors. It sounds like your 200C wire
is a PTFE or FEP coated wire and would be good anywhere you would use -22759.
