Southwire 22967401 Thhn Thwn 12 Awg 20 Amp 500 Ft Building Wire

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 22967401 is a 12 AWG stranded copper THHN/THWN building wire rated for 20 amps and 600 volts, supplied in a 500-foot spool. The conductor is built with 19 strands of copper for flexibility during pull-through in conduit runs. A thermoplastic insulation layer is bonded under a nylon jacket, giving the wire its dual THHN/THWN rating and allowing it to perform in both dry and wet locations. The blue jacket color supports color-coded circuit identification per standard electrical practice. This wire is installed by licensed electricians in commercial and residential wiring projects where conduit-fed branch circuits are required.

This wire is suited for branch circuit wiring in residential and light commercial construction, including panel feeds, outlet circuits, and junction box runs. Its stranded core makes it easier to route through conduit bends compared to solid wire of the same gauge. At 12 AWG and 20 amps, it fits the load requirements of standard 20-amp branch circuits. The 500-foot spool length covers most single-circuit runs without splicing. Electricians working to NEC requirements will find this wire compliant with common conduit-wiring applications in both dry and damp environments.

Key Features

• 12 AWG stranded copper conductor with 19 individual strands for flexible conduit routing
• Dual THHN/THWN rating supports use in dry and wet locations up to 600 volts
• Maximum operating temperature of 194 degrees F
• Nylon outer jacket provides resistance to abrasion, heat, moisture, oil, and gasoline
• Blue jacket color aids circuit identification in multi-wire installations
• 500-foot spool minimizes mid-run splices on standard branch circuit pulls

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit-fed branch circuit wiring applications rated at 12 AWG, 20 amps, and up to 600 volts in compliance with NEC requirements for THHN/THWN conductors in dry and wet-rated raceways.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before making terminations. Use appropriate conduit pull lubricant when routing through long runs or multiple bends to avoid jacket damage. Do not exceed the wire's 20-amp ampacity rating for the installed circuit breaker size.
