Just curious to get everyone's opinion on the minimum temperature alarm wire can safely be run at for prewires.

I've always heard it's -15c but have never heard a reason for it.




After having survived several winters in Edmonton, I can safely say things get pretty stiff at -15C. Most of the houses we pre-wired had propane heaters in them. Leave your boxes of wire a few feet away from one of these puppies and you won't have a problem. I've pulled wire as low as -25C without a hitch.
