Southwire 22966658 Thhn Wire 12 Awg Stranded Red 500 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 22966658 is a 500-foot roll of 12 AWG stranded THHN building wire in red, rated for 600 volts and 90 degrees C. It is built for general-purpose power, lighting, and control wiring applications in commercial and residential construction. The conductor is stranded copper, insulated with flame-retardant PVC and covered with a nylon jacket. That combination gives the wire flexibility during pull-through and resistance to oil, gasoline, chemicals, and abrasion. Electricians use this wire in conduit and raceway installations where a UL-listed conductor is required.

This wire suits a wide range of branch-circuit and feeder wiring jobs in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It is commonly pulled through EMT, rigid conduit, and non-metallic raceways for panel feeds, lighting circuits, receptacle circuits, and motor control wiring. The red jacket color aids in circuit identification during installation and future service work, making it a practical choice on multi-circuit jobs where color coding is maintained throughout.

Key Features

• 12 AWG stranded copper conductor for flexibility during conduit pulls
• 600-volt rating covers standard branch-circuit and feeder applications
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for use in higher-ambient environments
• Flame-retardant PVC insulation with nylon jacket resists oil, gasoline, chemicals, and abrasion
• Suitable for installation in conduit and raceways
• UL listed for compliance with NEC installation requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit and raceway systems as general-purpose THHN building wire for power, lighting, and control wiring circuits rated up to 600 volts.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and verify with a meter before making any connections. This wire is rated for conduit and raceway use only — do not use as open, direct-burial, or exposed outdoor wiring unless the installation method independently qualifies. Use appropriate wire pulling lubricant and conduit fill calculations per NEC Chapter 9 when routing through conduit.
