Southwire 23956601 Thhn Thwn 14 Awg 500 Ft Stranded Wire

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 23956601 is a 14 AWG stranded copper building wire rated for THHN and THWN applications. It carries a 15-amp rating at 600 volts and comes in a 500-foot spool with a purple nylon jacket over thermoplastic insulation. The 19-strand copper core delivers flexibility compared to solid conductors, making it easier to pull through conduit on commercial and residential jobs. Licensed electricians use this wire for branch circuit wiring in conduit systems where a color-coded conductor is required for identification. The purple jacket aids circuit tracing and phase identification in multi-wire installations.

This wire is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial conduit installations. THHN-rated wire is the standard choice for branch circuits, feeder runs, and general wiring inside conduit or raceways. The THWN dual rating adds moisture resistance, making it appropriate for wet or damp locations where conduit may collect condensation. The 500-foot spool length works for larger rough-in jobs or service panel feeders where shorter cuts would require splicing. The purple jacket color supports color-coding practices used to distinguish conductors in multi-phase or multi-circuit panels.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded copper core with 19 strands for improved flexibility during pulls
• Dual THHN and THWN rating suitable for dry, damp, and wet locations inside conduit
• 600-volt rating covers standard residential and light commercial branch circuits
• Purple nylon jacket supports conductor color-coding and circuit identification
• Maximum operating temperature of 194 degrees F under THHN dry conditions
• Rated resistant to abrasion, gasoline, heat, moisture, and oil per listed standards

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit or raceway systems requiring THHN or THWN-rated 14 AWG copper conductors in residential, commercial, and industrial branch circuit applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit at the panel before terminating or splicing conductors. This wire is rated for use inside conduit or raceways and is not approved for direct burial or exposed outdoor use without a raceway. Use appropriate wire-pulling lubricant on long runs to avoid jacket damage during installation.
