Diversitech dt-6-12-6 Wire Whip 10 Awg 1/2 in X 6 Ft

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH dt-6-12-6 is a pre-assembled wire whip designed to make the final electrical connection between a disconnect box and HVAC condensing or air handling equipment. The assembly consists of three stranded 10 AWG THHN conductors housed in a 1/2-inch conduit, measuring 6 feet in length, and terminated with metal conduit fittings at each end. Stranded conductors offer flexibility during routing in tight equipment compartments. Metal fittings provide a secure, code-compliant termination at both the disconnect and equipment knockouts. This type of whip is a standard field-connection component installed by licensed electricians and HVAC technicians during equipment startup or replacement.

This wire whip is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC installations where a pre-made, inspection-ready whip reduces field assembly time. The 6-foot length gives adequate slack for most standard disconnect-to-unit setups. The 10 AWG conductor gauge is sized for typical single-phase condensing unit loads. Metal conduit fittings satisfy most local jurisdictions that require metallic termination fittings at HVAC equipment knockouts. Installers working under NEC Article 440 guidelines for HVAC equipment wiring will find this whip sized and constructed to meet common field requirements.

Key Features

• Three stranded 10 AWG THHN conductors for flexibility and heat resistance
• 1/2-inch conduit diameter, 6 feet in length for standard disconnect-to-unit runs
• Metal conduit fittings on both ends for secure, code-compliant termination
• Pre-assembled construction reduces field wiring time and material handling
• THHN insulation rated for use in dry and damp locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wire whip for residential and light commercial HVAC condensing units and air handlers requiring a 1/2-inch conduit, 10 AWG, 3-wire final connection whip.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with NEC Article 440 and applicable local codes. Always shut off power at the main disconnect and verify the circuit is de-energized with a meter before making any connections. Secure conduit fittings fully at both the disconnect enclosure and equipment knockout to prevent pull-out and maintain the integrity of the raceway. Do not exceed the ampacity rating of the 10 AWG conductors when sizing the upstream overcurrent protection.
