Voltage for all applications is 600 volts. Copper Conductor. Thermoplastic Insulation/Nylon Sheath, Heat, Moisture, Gasoline and Oil Resistant II.

All sizes rated both THHN and either THWN (sizes 14, 12, and 10 AWG) or THWN-2 (sizes 8 AWG and larger and 14, 12, 10 AWG in SIMpull BARREL™ or SIMpull ® CoilPAK™ configurations). Also Rated MTW and AWM. SIMpull ® Technology for Easier Pulling.

SIMpull THHN® copper conductors are designed to be installed without application of a pulling lubricant. These conductors have multiple ratings. Depending upon the product application allowable temperatures are as follows:

  • THHN or T90 Nylon- Dry locations not to exceed 90° C
  • THWN-2- Wet or dry locations not to exceed 90°C or locations not to exceed 75° C when exposed to oil
  • THWN- Wet locations not to exceed 75° C or dry locations not to exceed 90° C or locations not to exceed 75° C when exposed to oil
  • TWN75- Wet locations not to exceed 75° C
  • MTW- Wet locations or when exposed to oil at temperatures not to exceed 60° C or dry locations not to exceed 90° C (with ampacity limited to that for 75° C conductor temperature per NFPA 79)
  • AWM- Dry locations not to exceed 105° C only when rated and used as appliance wiring material
