The Multiquip EM25608 Wire #16/5 x 18' is a genuine OEM wire assembly designed for the ST-70 submersible pump. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this wire is cut to the correct 18-foot length and rated at the proper #16/5 gauge specification to match the original electrical configuration on the ST-70. Replacing a worn, damaged, or cut wire with the correct OEM part ensures the pump's electrical circuit operates as designed, with no guesswork on gauge, conductor count, or length.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Conductor Spec — #16/5 gauge rating matches the original wiring configuration, ensuring correct current capacity and insulation rating for submersible pump operation.
- Pre-Cut to 18 Feet — Ships at the exact 18-foot length of the original, so installation is a straightforward direct swap with no field cutting or splicing required.
- Genuine Multiquip Component — Produced to the same specification as the wire installed at the factory, maintaining the integrity of the ST-70's electrical system.
- ST-70 Submersible Pump Fitment — Confirmed fit for the Multiquip ST-70 submersible pump; use part number EM25608 when ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Protects Motor and Controls — A correctly rated wire prevents voltage drop and overheating that can damage the pump motor or trip protective controls, keeping output consistent.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — Using the correct gauge and conductor count in a submersible application is essential for safe operation around water; this OEM wire meets the original design intent for that environment.
The wire assembly on a submersible pump carries electrical power from the surface power source down to the pump motor submerged below. In a five-conductor (#16/5) configuration, the individual conductors handle functions such as motor power phases, grounding, and float switch or control signals. When a wire is damaged, corroded, or undersized, the pump may fail to start, run erratically, or pose a shock hazard in wet conditions — making correct gauge and length critical, not just convenient.
