Southwire 20497401 Thhn Wire 6 Awg Stranded Green 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 20497401 is a 500-foot roll of 6 AWG stranded green THHN building wire rated for general-purpose power, lighting, and control wiring applications. The conductor is stranded copper insulated with flame-retardant PVC and protected by a nylon jacket. This combination delivers a 600-volt rating and a 90 degrees C temperature rating, making it a standard choice for branch circuit and feeder work in commercial and residential construction. The green color designates this wire for use as an equipment grounding conductor. Electricians pulling wire through conduit and raceways rely on the nylon jacket for smooth installation and resistance to abrasion, oil, gasoline, and common chemicals.

This wire is suited for use in conduit, wireways, and raceways in both residential and commercial electrical systems. Typical applications include branch circuit wiring, feeder runs, lighting circuits, and control wiring where a dedicated equipment grounding conductor is required. The stranded construction improves flexibility compared to solid conductors, which is especially useful in longer conduit runs or where pull angles are tight. Licensed electricians install this wire in accordance with NEC requirements for the specific circuit and environment.

Key Features

• 6 AWG stranded copper conductor for flexibility in conduit runs
• 600-volt rated for standard branch circuit and feeder applications
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for general-purpose use
• Flame-retardant PVC insulation with nylon jacket for abrasion resistance
• Resistant to oil, gasoline, and common chemicals
• Green jacket designates equipment grounding conductor use
• UL listed for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed for use as equipment grounding conductor or general-purpose THHN building wire in conduit and raceway systems rated for 600 volts or less.

Installation Notes

This wire is installed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any connections. The nylon jacket allows use of standard wire-pulling lubricant to ease installation in conduit runs. Do not exceed the ampacity ratings defined by NEC for 6 AWG conductors based on insulation type, conduit fill, and ambient temperature correction factors.
