Hi Victoria, Not all folks use 14 ga. wire. We supply 1/4" wide strips as electrodes and I feel they are better because there's more surface area for the silver to be sintered off. It's about 2 1/2 times the area as 14 ga. wire.
We suggest about 2 1/2" spacing and wetted depth of 3 ". I'm afraid there is no "standard". I suspect 14 ga. wire got to be most commonly used because that's what is most commonly available. That doesn't necessarily make it the best one to use.
