Encore Wire 101311000020 Nm-b Wire 8 Awg 3C 125 Ft

Product Description

The ENCORE WIRE 101311000020 is a NM-B type building wire rated for 600 volts and 40 amps, designed for standard residential and light commercial electrical installations. It features three stranded copper conductors at 8 AWG, insulated with PVC and jacketed in a combined Nylon/PVC outer sheath in black. The overall outer diameter measures 0.555 inches. This wire is rated for 90 degrees F continuous operation and carries moisture resistance for use in dry and damp interior locations. Licensed electricians install this wire during rough-in or service upgrade work in branch circuit applications.

This NM-B wire is suited for residential wiring applications including branch circuits serving high-draw appliances such as dryers, ranges, air conditioning equipment, and subpanels. The 125-foot coil length covers typical runs in single-family or multi-family residential construction. The stranded conductor configuration offers flexibility during installation through framing, conduit short-runs, or junction boxes. The black jacket aids in circuit identification on multi-circuit rough-in jobs.

Key Features

• NM-B rated construction for residential and light commercial branch circuit use
• 600-volt, 40-amp rating suitable for high-draw appliance circuits
• 8 AWG stranded copper conductors for flexibility and conductivity
• PVC insulation with Nylon/PVC outer jacket for moisture resistance
• 90 degrees F temperature rating for continuous service
• 0.555-inch OD for compatibility with standard cable staples and fittings
• 125-foot coil length for medium-length branch circuit runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation conductor for standard NM-B residential branch circuit wiring applications requiring 8 AWG three-conductor cable at 600 volts.

Installation Notes

NM-B wire is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 334 governing nonmetallic-sheathed cable. De-energize the circuit and verify zero voltage at the panel before making any connections. NM-B is approved for dry and damp locations only and must not be installed in wet locations, embedded in concrete, or used in exposed exterior runs. Use appropriate cable staples, clamps, and box connectors rated for NM-B cable.
