Value Collection BD-17972N Thhn 16 Awg Building Wire

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-17972N is a THHN-rated stranded copper building wire designed for use in branch circuit wiring, conduit runs, and general electrical distribution applications. Built on a 26-strand copper core at 16 AWG, it carries up to 10 amps at a rated voltage of 600 volts. The thermoplastic insulation is covered with a nylon jacket in brown, which aids circuit identification and provides additional mechanical protection. This wire meets UL listing requirements and is acceptable under OSHA standards. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this wire in commercial, industrial, and residential settings where conduit-routed wiring is required.

This wire is suited for use in dry, damp, and wet locations when installed in conduit. The brown jacket color designates it for use as a phase conductor in standard color-coded wiring schemes. At 500 feet per spool, it covers typical branch circuit runs without splicing. The nylon outer jacket resists abrasion, moisture, oil, gasoline, ozone, acids, alkalines, and sunlight, making it appropriate for exposed conduit runs in mechanical rooms, service corridors, and light industrial environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard THHN stranded building wire for use in conduit-routed electrical installations in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must 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. THHN wire is intended for use in conduit or raceway systems and should not be installed as open wiring. Pull tension should remain within the conductor and conduit manufacturer guidelines to avoid insulation damage during installation.
