Thhncu-generic tffn16strpur500r Tffn 16 Awg Wire Purple 500 Ft

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC tffn16strpur500r is a TFFN-type, 16 AWG stranded copper hook-up wire rated for 600 volts and 90 degrees C in dry environments. The conductor is fully annealed bare copper with a 26-strand configuration, insulated with PVC and jacketed in nylon per the TFFN designation. This wire is commonly pulled by electricians and control-panel builders for branch circuit wiring, fixture whips, and low-voltage control applications where a flexible, color-coded conductor is required. The purple jacket allows for straightforward wire identification in multi-conductor panels and control enclosures.

This wire is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical work wherever TFFN or THHN-style single-conductor wire is specified. Typical applications include fixture wiring, motor control panels, switchboards, and equipment connections where a 600-volt, 90 degrees C dry-rated conductor is required. The 500-foot spool length is practical for larger rough-in jobs or panel shops that need a working supply on hand. Purple jacket is useful for identifying dedicated circuits or custom wiring schemes in complex panel layouts.

Key Features

• 16 AWG fully annealed bare copper conductor with 26-strand flexible configuration
• TFFN type with PVC insulation and nylon jacket for abrasion resistance
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard branch circuit and control wiring
• 90 degrees C dry temperature rating meets common NEC installation requirements
• Purple jacket for clear circuit identification in panels and enclosures
• 500-foot spool reduces mid-job splicing on larger runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-conductor replacement or new-installation wire for applications requiring TFFN or equivalent 16 AWG, 600-volt, 90 degrees C dry-rated copper conductors in residential and commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any terminations. TFFN wire is rated for dry locations only; do not install in wet or damp locations where a wet-rated conductor is required. Use appropriately rated terminals and connectors sized for 16 AWG conductors to ensure secure, code-compliant connections.
