Our bare copper wire offers excellent electrical conductivity for industrial applications, transportation projects, electrical transmission work, and more. It’s also an excellent choice for use as grounding wire and bus wire. This high-quality copper wire meets the ASTM B3 standards for annealed copper and complies with RoHS and RoHS 2 directives.
Bare copper wire is a single-strand wire with no coating. Copper is the second-best conductor of electricity (after silver). Copper wire is also known as grounding wire as it is so often used to ground electrical systems. Additionally, it is very often used as bus wire.
Bare copper wire has many uses. Here is a list of the most common applications of copper wire:
Our customers have also used our high-quality bare copper wire to suspend parts in an electroplating tank, for stained glass projects, and for developmental experimentation with high-frequency radio antennas!
Copper wire is a go-to solution for those regularly working on electrical projects. Remember these benefits when considering bare copper wire for your next project:
Grounding wire is any wire that is used to ground an electrical system. The copper wire featured in this category is a very popular choice for this purpose. Electrical grounding is essential for safety, whether your project is residential or industrial. Grounding wire allows excess electricity to safely be directed back towards the earth, reducing the likelihood of electrical fires and potentially fatal electric shocks. Copper grounding wire is an excellent choice for electrical appliance safety.
In many cases, bare copper wire is the first choice for electrical grounding. This is due to a range of benefits, including very high conductivity, flexibility, and heat resistance. If you're looking for grounding wire, you’re in the right place.
No! In fact, bare copper wire is the most common type of wire used for this purpose. Grounding wire must be highly conductive to maximize the amount of electrical leakage that can be directed back to the ground and ensure the safe use of electrical appliances and equipment. Therefore, bare wire makes excellent grounding wire. If you’re looking for copper grounding wire, we have the high-quality solution you need.

Remington Industries offers a wide selection of bare copper wire, including wire that can be used for jewelry making. Our 24-gauge bare copper wire, for instance, is thin enough to fit through most gemstone beads. Bare wire also makes a durable base for wire-wrapped hoops, handmade chains and more.
Some of our artistic customers also use our bare copper wire to make beautiful stained-glass pieces. Bare copper wire offers the flexibility needed to create intricate artwork. 14-22 AWG bare copper or tinned copper wire are great for this kind of project.
In addition to meeting key standards and ratings, all our bare copper wire products are designed to serve a variety of needs at great prices. Here’s what our customers have to say:
- “I use a lot of wire to reinforce many of my stained-glass projects. The price here is better than buying from a stained glass supplier,” reads a review left by Cheryl on our 16 gauge bare copper wire.
- “This is my third purchase since discovering Remington Industries. I do developmental experimentation with High-Frequency Radio Antennas. Using both stainless steel and copper wire products. All from Remington Industries. There, when I needed them!” wrote Thomas on the 20 gauge bare copper wire product page.
