Thhncu-generic thhn6strorg1000r Thhn 6 Awg Copper Wire

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn6strorg1000r is a 6 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire supplied on a 1000-foot reel with orange PVC insulation and a nylon jacket. Rated at 600 volts and 90 degrees F dry and wet, this wire carries up to 75 amps at 90 degrees C depending on the installation method and termination rating. The 19-strand configuration provides flexibility during pull-through in conduit runs, reducing kinking in tight bends. Electricians use this wire for branch circuit wiring, feeder runs, and general building wiring where THHN is the specified conductor type. The orange color aids in circuit identification and phase marking on job sites.

This wire is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations where NEC-compliant THHN conductors are required. Common applications include panel feeders, sub-panel runs, motor branch circuits, and conduit-routed branch circuits in dry or wet locations. The 1000-foot reel length is standard for larger jobs and reduces the need for mid-run splices. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this conductor type.

Key Features

• 6 AWG stranded copper conductor with 19-strand configuration for pull flexibility
• 600-volt rated with 90 degrees C temperature rating in dry and wet environments
• Ampacity up to 75 amps at 90 degrees C, 65 amps at 75 degrees C, 55 amps at 60 degrees C
• Orange PVC insulation with nylon jacket for abrasion resistance in conduit
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on large feeder and branch circuit runs
• 0.253 inch outer diameter suits standard conduit fill calculations

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit or raceway systems where THHN or THWN-rated wire is specified per NEC Article 310. Suitable for use in EMT, rigid metal conduit, PVC conduit, and other listed raceways.

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 or panel before making any connections. Use a wire-pulling lubricant rated for PVC insulation when pulling through conduit to avoid jacket damage. Verify conduit fill percentages per NEC Chapter 9 tables before installation to ensure compliance.
