Southwire 22957558 Thhn 14 Awg Stranded Copper Wire 500 Ft Red

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE/COLEMAN CABLE 22957558 is a 500-foot spool of 14 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire in red. THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated) wire is a standard conductor type used in commercial and residential electrical installations. This wire features a nylon jacket over a thermoplastic insulation rated for 90 degrees C dry and typically 75 degrees C wet environments, with a 600-volt rating. The stranded copper construction provides flexibility during pulling and routing through conduit. Electricians reach for this wire for branch circuit wiring, panel feeds, and general-purpose wiring runs in conduit systems.

This wire is suited for use in conduit, raceways, and cable trays in both residential and commercial construction. Red insulation is commonly used to identify a secondary hot leg in 240-volt circuits or as a traveler conductor in three-way switching applications, helping maintain color-coded wiring practices on the job site. The 500-foot length is a working quantity appropriate for mid-size wiring projects or service calls requiring a full conduit run.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded copper conductor for flexibility in conduit pulls
• Type THHN insulation rated for 600 volts
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for dry environments
• Nylon jacket over thermoplastic insulation resists abrasion and pulling stress
• Red color coding for easy circuit identification in the field
• 500-foot spool length suitable for extended wiring runs

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit, raceways, and approved cable trays as a general-purpose THHN branch circuit and feeder conductor in residential and commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of THHN building wire is performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before making any connections. Wire must be installed in an approved raceway, conduit, or cable tray — direct burial is not permitted for this wire type. Verify that conduit fill percentages comply with NEC Chapter 9 tables before pulling.
