Purkeys Fleet Electric –GXL Wire and Custom Wiring Harnesses.

Not all wire is the same and not all installations are the same, which is why clients choose Purkeys Fleet Electric for custom wiring and harness production. Each application has a specific gauge and insulation requirement to ensure a safe and efficient electrical connection, which is why we do not have a one-size-fits-all approach to wiring harnesses.  

Purkeys Fleet Electric utilizes GXL Wire from Prestolite Wire for the safest possible application (installation will not re flow). Using the latest circuit protection technology, Purkeys’ wiring harnesses provide dependable operation in the most stringent environmental conditions.

TXL, GXL, and SXL wires are all insulated with cross link polyethylene and have heat resistance up to 125 degrees Celsius. GPT wire is insulated with PVC and is only heat resistant up to 80 degrees Celsius. Using GPT wire in the engine compartment puts your vehicle at a higher risk of thermal incidents. GXL meets SAE J2549 Low Tension Primary Wire for Heavy-Duty Applications and TMC RP166(T) Low-Voltage Primary Electrical Cable Specification for Heavy-Duty Electrical Repair. GPT does not. Make sure you are using the right wire for your application!
