    Finally getting around to installing compressor but what I thought was a 10 gauge wire is larger. Home Depot doesn't have any 6 or 8 so Im trying to figure out the gauge so I can order terminals from Amazon. Unless anyone knows anywhere else I can look. I have the dual but I think its the same as the single.

    Was looking for the same info today ... Here's what I found in the manual (found here: https://www.4wd.com/sku/ARB 4x4 Accessories/standard/CKMTA12.pdf) (Arb Dual Compressor CKMTA 12/24):
    Page: 16 -
    "Crimp suitable gage automotive eye terminals (not supplied) onto each of the heavy gage (5mm2 [10 AWG] RED wires."
    "Crimp suitable gage automotive eye terminals (not supplied) onto the heavy gage (8mm2 [8 AWG] BLACK wire that is marked with a white stripe (BLK-WHT)."

    Hope this helps.
