Southwire 20492512 Thhn Wire 8 Awg Stranded Green 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 20492512 is a 500-foot roll of 8 AWG stranded green THHN building wire rated for 600 volts and 90 degrees C. It features a stranded copper conductor with flame-retardant PVC insulation and a nylon outer jacket. The nylon jacket adds resistance to oil, gasoline, chemicals, and abrasion, making it well-suited for demanding installation environments. Green coloring identifies this wire as an equipment grounding conductor per standard electrical color conventions. Electricians and contractors rely on this wire for power, lighting, and control wiring applications in commercial and residential construction.

This wire is designed for installation inside conduit and raceways in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. The 8 AWG stranded construction offers flexibility during pull-through in conduit runs, reducing installer effort compared to solid conductors. Common applications include branch circuit grounding, equipment grounding conductors, and general-purpose building wiring in new construction and retrofit projects. The 500-foot roll quantity is appropriate for larger commercial jobs or multi-circuit residential installations.

Key Features

• 600-volt rated THHN insulation system for standard building wire applications
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for dry and damp locations
• Stranded copper conductor for improved flexibility during conduit pulls
• Flame-retardant PVC insulation with nylon jacket for added durability
• Resistant to oil, gasoline, chemicals, and abrasion
• UL Listed for use in conduit and raceways

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit and raceway systems in general-purpose 600-volt building wire applications including power, lighting, and control circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any connections. Use appropriate conduit fill calculations per NEC Chapter 9 to confirm conduit sizing before pulling wire. Do not exceed the wire's 90 degrees C temperature rating or 600-volt system voltage rating.
