Thhncu-generic thhn6strorgmr Thhn 6 Awg Copper Wire Orange

Product Description

The THHNCU-GENERIC thhn6strorgmr is a 6 AWG stranded copper THHN building wire with orange PVC insulation and a nylon jacket. Rated at 600 volts and 90 degrees C in dry environments, this wire is a standard pull for branch circuits, feeder runs, and equipment wiring in commercial and residential electrical installations. The 19-strand configuration provides flexibility during conduit pulls. Current capacity is 55 amps at 60 degrees C, 65 amps at 75 degrees C, and 75 amps at 90 degrees C depending on installation method and ambient conditions. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers for this product type.

This wire is suited for use in conduit or raceways in dry locations where THHN-rated conductors are required. The orange insulation color supports phase identification and color-coded wiring practices in panel and distribution work. Typical applications include feeder conductors, sub-panel runs, and motor circuit wiring in commercial, industrial, and residential construction projects. It is sold cut to length, making it practical for job-specific pulls without surplus waste.

Key Features

• 6 AWG conductor with 19-strand configuration for flexibility in conduit pulls
• Copper conductor provides reliable conductivity and compliance with standard wiring specifications
• PVC insulation with nylon jacket rated for THHN service at 600 volts
• 90 degrees C dry rating supports higher ampacity calculations under NEC ampacity tables
• Orange color aids phase identification and organized wiring practices
• Cut-to-length format reduces waste on job-specific installations

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit or raceway systems where THHN 6 AWG copper wire is specified. Suitable for dry location installations in compliance with applicable NEC requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation of THHN building wire should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any terminations. Verify conduit fill calculations before pulling wire, and use appropriate wire pulling lubricant to avoid insulation damage during long runs. Ampacity derating applies when multiple current-carrying conductors share a conduit.
