Southwire XHHW4STRGRNMR 4 Awg Stranded Aluminum Wire

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE XHHW4STRGRNMR is a 4 AWG stranded aluminum conductor wire rated to the XHHW insulation standard. XHHW-rated wire is built for cross-linked polyethylene insulation that handles heat and moisture, making it suitable for use in conduit in both dry and wet locations. This green-insulated wire is sold cut to length, giving electricians the exact footage needed for a job without surplus material. The 4 AWG stranded construction offers flexibility compared to solid conductor, which is an advantage during pulling and termination in conduit runs and panel work.

This wire is used in residential and commercial electrical installations where a grounding or equipment grounding conductor is required. Green insulation identifies this conductor as a grounding wire under NEC conventions. Typical applications include feeder and branch circuit grounding runs, service entrance work, and equipment grounding in conduit systems. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers. The cut-to-length format suits service calls, panel upgrades, and new construction alike.

Key Features

• 4 AWG stranded aluminum conductor for flexibility during installation and pulling through conduit
• XHHW insulation rating — suitable for dry and wet location use in conduit
• Green insulation color identifies this as a grounding conductor per NEC standards
• Cut-to-length ordering reduces material waste on job sites
• Stranded construction eases termination at lugs, breakers, and ground bars

Compatibility

Designed as an NEC-compliant grounding or equipment grounding conductor for use in conduit-based wiring systems where a 4 AWG aluminum wire with XHHW insulation is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must 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 handling or terminating any conductors. Aluminum conductors require anti-oxidant compound at termination points and must be connected using lugs or terminals rated for aluminum wire. Confirm that all terminals and connectors are listed and rated for the conductor size and material.
