For wire runs up to 50 ft. (15 m), use no. 18 AWG (American Wire Gage) insulated wire (35_C minimum). For 50 to 75 ft. (15 to 23 m), use no. 16 AWG insulated wire (35_C minimum). For over 75 ft. (23 m), use no. 14 AWG insulated wire (35_C minimum). All wire sizes larger than no. 18 AWG cannot be directly connected to the thermostat and will require a junction box and splice at the thermostat.
