RE: Hold on there...

C'mon now. I used to chat with Al quite a bit. He was a smart dude. I would be very surprised to learn he actually made a statement such as "I would not use anything less than an 18 AWG hookup wire." without first knowing what the breaker value being used upstream is.

Point is you may be be recommending something that ends up getting someone hurt or killed.

You should be sizing size downstream wire per the upstream breaker or protect it with it's own breaker or fuse. Anything else is a fire hazard!
