Encore Wire 762210821030 Mc Hcf-sg 12 Awg 2C Aluminum 600V 250ft

Product Description

The ENCORE WIRE 762210821030 is a Type MC HCF-SG (Health Care Facility - Suitable for Grounding) metal-clad cable with solid aluminum conductors, designed for branch-circuit wiring in healthcare facilities and commercial construction. This 12 AWG, 2-conductor cable carries a 600 VAC voltage rating and a 90 degrees C temperature rating, with a 20-amp amperage rating that suits standard 20-amp branch circuits. The outer diameter measures 0.515 inches, keeping it compatible with standard MC fittings and connectors. Licensed electricians install this cable in new construction and renovation projects where MC cable is specified by code or design.

Type MC HCF-SG cable is used in healthcare facility wiring applications including patient care areas, operating suites, and other spaces governed by NFPA 99 and NEC Article 517. The HCF designation indicates suitability for health care facilities, and the SG designation confirms the armor serves as an equipment grounding conductor. The solid aluminum conductors and THHN insulation make this cable well-suited for general-purpose branch circuits in commercial and institutional environments. This reel contains 250 feet of cable, packaged in an EZ PACK format for easier on-site dispensing.

Key Features

• Type MC HCF-SG construction rated for healthcare facility branch-circuit wiring under NEC Article 517
• 12 AWG solid aluminum conductors with THHN insulation, rated 20 amps at 600 VAC
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for use in elevated-temperature environments
• Interlocked armor qualifies as equipment grounding conductor (SG designation)
• UL Listed under File E-301130; REACH and RoHS compliant
• 250-foot EZ PACK reel for efficient jobsite deployment

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard Type MC cable fittings, connectors, and conduit bodies rated for 12 AWG conductors and 0.515-inch outside diameter cable. Suitable for healthcare facility branch circuits where MC HCF-SG cable is required per NEC Article 517 and NFPA 99.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits at the panel before terminating conductors, and verify lockout/tagout procedures are in place. Use fittings and connectors listed and rated for Type MC cable to maintain the integrity of the grounding path through the armor. In healthcare facility patient care areas, verify compliance with NEC Article 517 and the authority having jurisdiction before rough-in.
