Encore Wire 106100810465 Thhn Wire 12 Awg 600V 2500 Ft Purple

Product Description

The ENCORE WIRE 106100810465 is a Type THHN building wire designed for general-purpose electrical wiring in commercial and residential construction. The conductor is a 12 AWG stranded copper, 19-strand configuration with a PVC insulation layer and a nylon outer jacket. The nylon jacket provides resistance to abrasion and aids in conduit pulling. Rated at 600 volts AC and 90 degrees F continuous operating temperature, this wire meets the demands of standard branch-circuit and feeder applications. The purple jacket color supports circuit identification in multi-wire installations. The 2500 ft reel packaging reduces handling time on larger jobs.

This wire is installed in conduit for branch circuits, panel feeders, and general building wiring in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments. The THHN rating makes it suitable for dry and damp locations as defined by the NEC. It is commonly pulled through EMT, rigid conduit, and PVC conduit for circuits requiring a 30-amp capacity at 12 AWG. The purple color coding is especially useful when multiple circuits share a conduit run and visual differentiation is needed at termination points.

Key Features

• Type THHN rated for 600 volts AC and 90 degrees C in dry or damp locations
• 12 AWG stranded copper conductor with 19-strand configuration for flexibility during pulling
• PVC insulation with nylon jacket for abrasion resistance and easier conduit installation
• 0.128 inch outer diameter keeps conduit fill calculations manageable
• 2500 ft reel packaging reduces reel changes on larger commercial or multi-unit jobs
• Purple jacket supports circuit identification in conduit with multiple conductors

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type THHN single-conductor building wire suitable for use in conduit-based wiring systems per NEC requirements for dry and damp locations rated at 600 volts AC or less.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit panel before terminating or splicing conductors. THHN wire must be pulled through approved conduit and is not rated for direct burial or wet locations unless paired with a conductor also carrying a THWN rating. Use appropriate wire-pulling lubricant to minimize jacket damage during long conduit runs.
