THHN THWN-2 Copper Building Wire Allowable Ampacity in Duct: 75

Application:

THHN stands for thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon. Known for versatility and durability, it is the most common type of building cable. The double marking THHN /THWN-2 indicates that the electrical wire is suitable for wet and dry conditions equally (The letter "W" means that it is water-safe). Additionally, the cable is resistant to corrosion, excessive dryness, and the impact of chemicals. The building wire is rated 90 degrees Celsius in both wet and dry locations. The electrical wire is rated at 600 V.

Also Known As:

6 copper wire, 6 building cable, 6 hook up wire, 6 conduit wire, 6 nylon wire, 6 construction cable, 6 thermoplastic-insulated copper wire, 6 THHN-PVC tray cable.

    Construction:

    Conductor:

    THHN THWN-2 conductors are constructed of annealed soft copper that follows ASTM B3 and ASTM B8 standards. 

    Insulation:

    The cable is insulated with a thermoset plastic jacket (PVC) that is flame-retardant, sunlight-resistant, lead-free, strong, and stable. Without being too bulky, it ensures that the cable can be used in harsh conditions. The jacket is color-coded in accordance with ICEA Method 4.

      Does THHN Have to Be in Conduit?

      Can THHN Be Direct Buried?

      THHN does not have an appropriate rating for direct burial because of its construction, but THHN/THWN-2 with a double rating can.

      Is THHN Rated for Wet Locations?

      THHN is rated for dry locations, while THWN is rated for wet locations.

      Can THHN Be Used in Underground Conduit?

      The wire used for the underground conduit should have a THWN-2 rating for wet locations.

      Can You Run THHN in Walls?

      You can run THHN wire in walls within conduit or raceway, but NM-B wire is generally a more popular option for indoor wiring.
