Re: Spike Relay Wire Gauge
You should use 18 AWG or larger from the breaker panel to the Spike and 24 AWG from there to the solenoid. That way, you're fulfilling both parts of the rule.

<R47> All main and branch circuits shall be wired with appropriately sized wire:
12 AWG or largerdiameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 40A circuit
breaker.
14 AWG or largerdiameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 30A circuit
breaker.
18 AWG or largerdiameter wire must be used for all circuits protected by a 20A circuit
breaker.
24 AWG or larger diameter wire must be used for providing power to pneumatic valves.
