Thhncu-generic thhn6strbrn500r Thhn 6 Awg Copper Wire 500ft

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn6strbrn500r is a 6 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire supplied on a 500-foot reel with brown insulation. The conductor is built from copper with a 19-strand configuration, giving it flexibility for routing through conduit in commercial and residential electrical installations. PVC insulation is covered by a nylon jacket, meeting the THHN designation. Rated at 600 volts with a 90 degrees F temperature rating for both dry and wet environments, this wire carries up to 75 amps at 90 degrees C depending on the installation conditions and applicable code requirements. Electricians use this wire for branch circuits, feeder runs, and general-purpose wiring pulled through conduit.

This wire is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where THHN conductors are required in conduit or raceway systems. The 19-strand construction makes it easier to pull through conduit bends compared to solid conductors of the same gauge. The brown insulation color aids in phase identification and conductor organization during panel terminations and junction box work. The 500-foot reel quantity is appropriate for larger jobs or service van stocking where repeated pulls are needed.

Key Features

• 6 AWG copper conductor with 19-strand configuration for flexibility in conduit pulls
• THHN-rated PVC insulation with nylon jacket for abrasion and moisture resistance
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard branch circuit and feeder applications
• 90 degrees C temperature rating for both dry and wet environments
• Brown insulation for phase identification per NEC color conventions
• 500-foot reel packaging reduces handling time on larger installations

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit or raceway systems requiring THHN-rated 6 AWG copper conductors in residential, commercial, and industrial electrical installations per NEC guidelines.

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 or panel before making any terminations. Use a reel stand or wire dispenser to avoid kinking or damaging the nylon jacket during pulls. Verify ampacity derating requirements based on conduit fill, ambient temperature, and bundling conditions before sizing for any specific application.
