Tracer wire / CATALOG REFERENCE
TRACE HF-CCS PE45
Body designates TRACE HF-CCS PE45: annealed solid 12 AWG copper-clad steel with AISI 1006 core, 21% IACS conductivity and 45 mil HMW-HDPE. It limits tracer applications to 30 V. The shared CU category is inconsistent with the explicit CCS specification.
Historical record · current specification and availability require confirmation.

What the catalog identifies
The following labels come from the historical General Clad record. Read them with the qualification notes below.
| Catalog reference | TRACE HF-CCS PE45 |
|---|---|
| Historical catalog: applications voltage | ≤ 30 V — source application limit |
| Historical catalog: conductor size | 12 AWG |
| Historical catalog: conductivity | 21 %IACS |
| Historical catalog: steel core | AISI 1006 low carbon steel |
| Historical catalog: insulation thickness | 45 mil |
Source notes for this reference
- The page is also categorized under CU HDPE MIL TRACER WIRE; body specifies CCS, so this category is not substrate evidence.
- Body presents 282 lb break load and 55,000 psi with 'or'; they have different dimensions and should not be treated as interchangeable quantities.
- Embedded table is a broader CCS/PVC-or-PE range, not an exact 12 AWG PE45 SKU specification.
- Embedded general CCS table's Density header literally reads g/m³ with values 8.0–8.4; source-unit ambiguity is unresolved.
- Catalog voltage descriptions are source observations; suitability for the project requires review of the exact model and installation.
- This record identifies a historical catalog entry. Current availability, approved dimensions, performance and certification are not established by the old page.
Official source body reviewed 3 October 2026. A source observation is not an approved current specification.
