## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is outside diameter (how big around is it)?**
A: I don't have my calipers here at the house, but my steel rule says exactly 1/4"

**Q: Is there a plug available for this wire that will grip the cloth cover to keep it from slipping?**
A: Try this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000FPAN84/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1520707821&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=2+wire+plug&dpPl=1&dpID=41mltD-j76L&ref=plSrch
I singe (low heat) the cloth after my wires have been cut to the desired length, and use 1/4 heat shrink in conjunction to prevent fraying. Just make sure your cut lengths are correct or the heat shrink will stick out past the plug.

**Q: The cord with which I want to replace has three wires inside, not two. Is this safe to use as a replacement?**
A: If the cord you are replacing is three wire then the appliance requires the third earthing conductor.   The earthing conductor needs to bee connected to the earthing pin of the power plug and the other end should be connected to the same point that the old cord was on the product.  DO NOT USE TWO CONDUCTOR CORD TO REPLACE THREE CONDUCTOR CORD.

**Q: Will this cord work with clip type plug?**
A: I used this wire to make a light fixture out of an old wwgon wheel.  
These are the sockets I used with it: KINGS E26 E27 Light Sockets, 6 Pack Edison Retro Lamp Holder for DIY Projects 200℃ Heat Resistant No Fire Hazard, E26 E27 Medium Screw Light Holder. 
You can look at that product to find out if it is a clip type plug.  It seems I sliced the cord open, separated the white and black cords and used a screw driver to get the exposed copper under the screw/clip.  I tightened it down and put the whole thing back together.  The trick I recommend is to use a piece of tape to hold the cloth in place while you are working.  It slides up and is impossible to get back down to the end, by the socket. I don't know if that answers the question, but I sure hope it helps.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Overall For Vintage Lamp Hanging
*by J***. on July 3, 2020*

High quality product overall, well made with a nice looking cloth covering. Best use is for hanging fixtures as the wires are encased in a non stretching hard rubber sheathing that can be clamped at the top of the fixture to prevent the wires from pulling out at the top from the fixture's weight. This inner rubber sheathing is a non-kink material and with just the right amount of flexibility for a nice straight hanging appearance, and is also very strong. I would not suggest this for wiring of table lamps and such because it's too thick (about 5/16") and inflexible for that purpose; proper rayon lamp cord would be better for that use. A piece of advice: put a small amount of crazy glue on the cloth covering where you plan to terminate it when cutting, stripping, etc. It tends to fray and ride up the rubber core when being handled and can't be pulled back down; the glue keeps it in place and prevents fraying. Overall has worked well for re-wiring of vintage ceiling fixtures. Has an authentic look and bears a fair amount of weight.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT Antique Style Cord
*by J***N on May 28, 2024*

Those worked great for my Singer Sewing machine from the 1940’s. It matched the aesthetic perfectly. The quality is great. I used a lighter to melt/shrink the covering when the cord was stripped down and “Y’ed” out for connections. I couldn’t be happier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality Looks Like The Photos
*by G***Y on November 6, 2019*

The cord looks great and the wires inside were of good quality. I built a pipe lamp using this cord. I frayed the cord a little pulling it through the pipe. That's my fault though and to be expected if you rub fabric against a sharp edge. I have been using it for a couple of months now and no issues. I have plenty left over for my next project. If you're getting this to make a pipe lamp, do yourself a favor and buy a touch dimmer control. I bought one from Lowe's, I'm sure they sell them on Amazon too. Plug the lamp into it and you can touch anywhere on the lame to turn it on and dim. I tried wiring a switch using the JB weld method and it didn't work out well for me. The touch control is much simpler.
