Thhncu-generic tfn16solred500r Tfn 16 Awg Solid Red Wire

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC tfn16solred500r is a 16 AWG solid copper conductor wire with TFN insulation, supplied on a 500-foot spool. TFN-rated wire features a thermoplastic insulation with a nylon braid outer jacket, designed for use in dry locations where a flexible, durable conductor is required. The solid copper core provides reliable conductivity and clean terminations, making it a standard choice for lighting circuits, low-voltage control wiring, and fixture branch circuits. Electricians and electrical contractors handle installation in compliance with applicable NEC requirements for the rated environment.

This 16 AWG solid red wire is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where a color-coded conductor is needed for circuit identification. The 500-foot spool length supports larger jobs without frequent resupply. Red insulation is commonly used to identify secondary phase conductors, switched legs, or traveler wires in multi-way switching configurations, depending on the wiring method and local code practice.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid copper conductor for reliable current capacity and easy termination
• TFN insulation with nylon braid jacket rated for dry location use
• Red insulation color supports conductor identification and color-coding practices
• 500-foot spool reduces splicing needs on larger runs
• Solid construction simplifies stripping and landing at terminals and lugs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid copper TFN conductor suitable for use in dry-location lighting, fixture, and low-voltage control wiring applications per applicable NEC guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation should 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 before making any connections. TFN wire is rated for dry locations only and should not be installed in wet or damp environments. Verify the ampacity rating for 16 AWG conductors against the circuit load before installation.
