Applications Top of Page

 For use primarily in residential wiring, including branch circuits for outlets, switches, etc. May be installed in both exposed and concealed work in normally dry locations. May be installed in air voids of masonry block or tile walls where these walls are not subject to excessive moisture or dampness. May be installed in locations with temperatures up to 90°C, but with the ampacity limited to that of 60°C conductors. Added Circuit: For use primarily in residential wiring for branch circuits supplying outlets located in bedrooms and other areas.. 

Conductors Top of Page

Solid conductors: Soft, uncoated copper per ASTM-B3
Stranded conductors: Uncoated copper per ASTM-B3 and ASTM B8 

Conductor Insulation and Jacket Top of Page


Color-coded PVC (polyvinyl chloride), rated 90°C dry with clear nylon (polyamide). Added Circuit: Color-coded PVC rated 90°C: black, white, red and white with red stripe. Insulated conductors also jacketed with clear nylon (polyamide).

Soft, uncoated copper per ASTM-B3
 
Assembly Top of Page

Two-conductor constructions have the insulated conductors laid parallel. Ground wire is wrapped with paper and laid parallel between the insulated conductors. The entire construction is wrapped with a paper separator before applying the jacket. Three-conductor constructions have the insulated conductors twisted together or laid parallel to each other. Ground wire is wrapped with paper and twisted together or laid
parallel to the insulated conductor.
