∙ 12y agoWhen it comes to the measurement gauge, the smaller the number the thicker or heavier the material.For instance:10 gauge steel is thicker than 18 gauge steel.A 5 gauge needle is much larger than a 10 gauge needle.A 12 gauge shotgun is larger than a 20 gauge.
12 gauge the higher the gauge the thicker the item is
yes
The metal of the 17 gauge waste drain is thicker than the 20 gauge.
16 gauge is thicker. The lower the number the thicker the materiel.
12 Gauge is thicker then the 20 gauge.
20 gauge is thicker (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
The 12-gauge is thicker.

Yes, much thicker.

12 gauge.

Nope. It's the other way around. (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).

The lower the gauge the heavier, sheet metal, wire & shotguns...
12 guage wire israted for 20 amps and 10 guage is rated for thirty amps! 12 gauge is what is required, as it is rated for 20 amps. 10 gauge is rated for 30 and will be more then enough. Oversizing wire in your case isn't necessary. The thicker 10 gauge wire is harder to work with and will more then likely cost more.
