8 AWG 19-Stranded THHN Bule Copper Building Wire (40ft)

Applications:Type THHN/THWN-2 building wire is intended for general purpose applications as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC). 8 AWG THHN-THWN-2 is permitted for new construction or rewiring for 600-volt applications. Applications requiring Type THHN or THWN-2, the conductor is appropriate for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90°C or not to exceed 60°C in oil or coolants. Applications requiring Type AWM conductor is appropriate for use in dry locations at 90°C, or not to exceed 60°C in wet locations or where exposed to oils or coolants. Applications requiring Type AWM conductor is appropriate for use at temperatures to not exceed 105°C in dry locations.Also Known As:8 AWG Copper wire, 8 AWG THWN-2, 8 AWG Building Wire, hook up wire, conduit wire, lighting wire, nylon copper wire, construction cable, 8 Gauge Wire.FeaturesNylon outer jacket for easy pulling.
