In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Engineered for durability and reliable power delivery in outdoor and damp environments, the Southwire 1000 ft. 12/2 Solid Type UF-B WG Underground Feeder Cable is built to handle underground installs with ease. This rugged UF-B WG cable is designed for direct burial, providing a safe, long-lasting solution for feeding detached garages, sheds, outdoor lighting, or any exterior circuit.

Key features at a glance

  • Conductor:** 12 AWG copper, solid
  • Conductors: 2 insulated conductors plus a copper ground (12/2 with ground)
  • Insulation & jacket: PVC insulation with a tough nylon jacket for added abrasion resistance
  • Direct burial: Yes — suitable for underground installation
  • Voltage rating: 600 V
  • Amp rating: 20 A
  • Temperature rating: 90°C
  • UL Listed: Yes
  • Locations: Wet locations and indoor/outdoor use
  • UV resistance: Sunlight/UV resistant
  • Grounding: Copper ground conductor
  • Length & appearance: 1000 ft spool, gray jacket

Why this matters: UF-B WG stands up to moisture, soil movement, and sun exposure while delivering steady power to outdoor circuits. The combination of solid 12 AWG copper conductors and a nylon-jacketed, PVC-insulated build ensures lower resistance, robust grounding, and long-term reliability for buried runs.

Practical use cases that benefit from this cable:

  • Wiring a detached garage or workshop with a dedicated 20 A circuit
  • Feeding outdoor lighting, landscape features, or exterior receptacles
  • Supplying pumps, irrigation controllers, or pool equipment located underground or in damp locations
  • Any indoor/ outdoor installation where a direct burial cable is preferred for a cleaner, conduit-free setup

Compared to lighter exterior cables, this Southwire UF-B WG offering provides enhanced protection against moisture and abrasion, thanks to a nylon jacket and rugged PVC insulation. The 12/2 configuration with a copper ground supports safe, code-aligned installations for typical residential outdoor projects, while the 1000 ft length gives you plenty of flexibility for longer runs or multiple projects without constant repurchasing.

Practical tips for use:

  • Plan runs to minimize sharp bends and avoid areas with heavy soil movement to maintain conductor integrity
  • Follow local electrical codes for burial depth and protection, and use appropriate conduit or direct burial methods where required
  • Keep the loader-friendly spool protected during storage and accurate length planning to reduce waste

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
