Southwire 68719401 Thhn Thwn 12 Awg Solid Copper Building Wire

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 68719401 is a THHN/THWN-rated solid copper building wire in 12 AWG, designed for branch-circuit wiring in residential and light commercial electrical systems. Rated at 20 amps and 600 volts, it carries a PVC insulation jacket with a maximum operating temperature of 194 degrees F. The dual THHN/THWN listing makes it suitable for both dry and wet locations. Available colors include black, white, red, and blue, covering standard line, neutral, and traveler applications. This wire is sold in 1-foot increments with a 50-foot minimum cut length from a 250-foot coil. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors handle installation under NEC guidelines.

The 68719401 wire is suited for use in conduit runs feeding receptacle circuits, lighting circuits, and general-purpose branch circuits in residential construction, tenant improvement work, and light commercial applications. Its solid core construction is standard for 12 AWG branch-circuit wiring in conduit. The four available jacket colors support proper circuit identification per NEC color-coding conventions. This wire is not rated for direct burial or free-air use without conduit.

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 or panel before pulling wire or making terminations. Use appropriate wire-pulling lubricant when running through conduit to avoid damaging the insulation jacket. Do not exceed the wire's 20-amp ampacity or 194 degrees F temperature rating at termination points.
