This 8 AWG stranded building wire is designed for commercial and industrial electrical professionals installing service, feeder, and branch circuits. Its blue insulation helps identify conductors while providing wire for routing through conduit and cable trays.
The 500 ft wire features an annealed copper unilay compressed-strand conductor with heat- and moisture-resistant PVC insulation and a nylon jacket. It is rated 600V and may be used as THHN in dry locations up to 90°C; as THWN-2 in wet or dry locations up to 90°C, or up to 75°C when exposed to oil; and as MTW in wet locations or oil exposure up to 60°C. The jacket is designed to allow installation without pulling lubricant.
Key Features:
- 8 AWG stranded conductor: Provides a flexible conductor format for specified building-wire installations.
- 500 ft length: Supplies an extended length of wire for electrical runs.
- Blue insulation: Supports conductor identification within an installation.
- THHN/THWN-2/MTW designations: Supports use across applicable dry, wet, and oil-exposure conditions within stated temperature limits.
- PVC and nylon jacket system: Provides heat- and moisture-resistant insulation with a jacket intended for easier pulling.
- 600V rating: Supports applications requiring 600V building wire.
Choose this blue 8 AWG stranded wire when your specified electrical installation calls for a 500 ft THHN, THWN-2, or MTW conductor for conduit or cable tray routing.
