Wire 6strthhn Thhn 6 Awg Stranded Copper Wire Black

Product Description

The WIRE 6strthhn is a THHN-rated, 6 AWG stranded copper conductor with black PVC insulation and a nylon jacket, rated for 600 volts. Constructed with 19-strand copper, it delivers flexible, reliable conductivity in branch circuits, feeder runs, and general wiring applications. Current capacity reaches 55 amps at 60 degrees C, 65 amps at 75 degrees C, and 75 amps at 90 degrees C. The 90 degrees C dry temperature rating and nylon jacket meet the demands of conduit-run installations in commercial and residential construction. Electricians, panel installers, and electrical contractors reach for this wire when building feeders, sub-panel runs, and motor branch circuits.

This 6 AWG THHN wire is suited for use in dry locations inside conduit or raceways. Common applications include residential and light commercial electrical panels, feeder circuits, motor controls, and HVAC disconnect wiring. The black insulation color identifies it as a hot conductor in standard NEC color-coding practice. Sold in cut-to-length format, it reduces waste and allows precise pulls for specific job runs without committing to a full reel.

Key Features

• 6 AWG stranded copper conductor with 19-strand construction for flexibility in conduit pulls
• THHN-rated with PVC insulation and nylon jacket for conduit and raceway installations
• 75 amp capacity at 75 degrees C, 90 degrees C dry temperature rating
• 600-volt rating suitable for standard branch circuit and feeder applications
• Black insulation for hot-conductor identification per NEC conventions
• Cut-to-length format reduces material waste on custom runs

Compatibility

Designed for use in conduit, wireways, and raceways in dry locations as a THHN-rated 6 AWG branch circuit or feeder conductor in residential and commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the circuit or panel before pulling wire or making terminations. THHN conductors are rated for conduit and raceway use in dry locations only — do not install in direct burial or wet locations without an appropriate additional jacket rating. Use proper wire lubricant when pulling through conduit to avoid insulation damage.
