Product Details
Thhn 6 gauge building wire, stranded type, yellow, is primarily used in conduit and cable trays for services, feeders, and branch circuits in commercial or industrial applications as specified in the 2008 National Electrical Code. When used as type THHN, the conductor is suitable for use in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 °C. When used as type THWN-2 or TWN75, the conductor is suitable for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 °C or 75 °C when exposed to oil. In the case of type MTW, the conductor can be used in wet locations or when exposed to oil at temperatures not exceeding 60 °C, or in dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 °C, with ampacity limited to that for 75 °C conductor temperature per NFPA 79. Conductor temperatures can reach up to 105 °C in dry locations when rated AWM and used as appliance wiring material or T90 nylon, with a voltage rating of 600 volts for all applications. The cable requires no pulling lubricant for installation. This product meets or exceeds all applicable ASTM specifications, UL standard 83, UL 1581, UL standard 1063 (MTW), CSA, CUL, NOM-ANCE 90 °C, and federal specification A-A-59544, along with National Electrical Code requirements. VW-1 ratings apply for sizes 14 through 1 AWG, CT for sizes 1/0 AWG and larger, FT1 ratings for sizes through 500 KCMIL, T90 nylon for sizes through 500 KCMIL, TWN 75 for sizes through 500 KCMIL, and RoHS compliance applies to sunlight-resistant conductors marked and listed in all colors 2 AWG and larger. The construction features annealed (soft) copper conductors with unilay compressed strand, insulated with a tough heat and moisture resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and includes a SIM (SlikQwik® infused membrane) nylon (polyamide) or an UL recognized equivalent jack.
