. SCOPE

 

1.1 This specification describes single conductor THWN or THHN, a general purpose building wire insulated

with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and covered with a tough protective sheath of nylon intended for lighting and power

circuits at 600 Volts or less, in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The wire may be operated at 90°C

maximum continuous temperature in dry locations and 75°C in wet locations and is listed by Underwriters Laboratories

for use in accordance with Article 310 of the National Electrical Code. The wire shall also be C(UL) listed as

Types T90 Nylon or TWN75, FT1 indicating suitability for use in accordance with the Canadian Code.
