Southwire 22961701 Thhn Thwn 14 Awg 500 Ft Building Wire

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 22961701 is a THHN/THWN-rated building wire designed for general electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial installations. This 14 AWG stranded copper conductor features a thermoplastic insulation with a nylon jacket, delivering a 600-volt rating and a 15-amp capacity. The 19-strand construction provides flexibility for routing through conduit runs compared to solid wire. The orange jacket color supports circuit identification in multi-wire installations. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors install this wire in accordance with NEC guidelines for branch circuit and feeder wiring applications.

This wire is suited for use in conduit, raceways, and cable trays in dry or wet locations. The THHN rating covers dry and damp locations, while the THWN rating extends suitability to wet environments. Common applications include branch circuit wiring in panel boards, lighting circuits, motor control wiring, and general-purpose power distribution. The 500-foot spool length supports larger pulls on commercial or multi-unit residential projects without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded copper conductor with 19-strand configuration for improved flexibility
• Dual THHN/THWN rating for use in dry, damp, and wet locations up to 600 volts
• Orange nylon jacket for circuit identification and abrasion resistance
• Rated to 194 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Resistant to abrasion, gasoline, heat, moisture, and oil
• 500-foot spool reduces splice points on longer conduit runs

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit, raceways, and cable trays as a general-purpose THHN/THWN branch circuit and feeder conductor in residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Power down and lock out the circuit or panel before making any terminations. Use a wire pull lubricant rated for thermoplastic insulation when pulling through long or bent conduit runs to avoid jacket damage. Verify conduit fill calculations per NEC Chapter 9 before installation.
