THHN/THWN/THWN-2 wire is a versatile thermoplastic-insulated copper or aluminum conductor designed for general-purpose electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Known for its excellent heat, moisture, and flame resistance, this wire is commonly used in conduit systems for branch circuits and feeders. At Zhejiang Zhongjing Wire & Cable Co., Ltd., we manufacture THHN/THWN/THWN-2 wire using high-conductivity annealed copper, coated with a tough polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation and nylon jacket. This construction ensures superior electrical performance, easy pulling through conduit, and long-term durability in harsh environments.

  • THHN (Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated, 75°C Wet Rating)
  • THWN-2 (Thermoplastic Heat- and Water-resistant Nylon-Coated, 90°C Wet Rating)

Conductor: Bare copper or tin-plated copper, with optional solid or stranded structures.

Product Application

 

THHN:

Mainly used for industrial and building wiring in dry environments, such as factory cable trays and commercial building branch circuits.

Typical scenarios: internal wiring of machine tools, lighting systems in dry spaces.

THWN-2:

Preferred for damp/outdoor scenes: underground conduits, oil platforms, and chemical equipment (oil resistant and waterproof).

Directly buried installation (without mechanical damage risk) and UV-resistant outdoor overhead power lines.

FAQ

 

Q: What's the difference between THHN, THWN, and THWN-2?

A: THHN is rated for dry locations up to 90°C. THWN adds wet-location capability up to 75°C. THWN-2 is rated for both wet and dry environments up to 90°C, making it the most flexible option.

Q: Can THHN/THWN/THWN-2 wire be used underground?

A: Yes, THWN-2 is approved for underground installation when used in conduit, offering moisture resistance and excellent heat tolerance.

Q: What certifications do you offer?

A: Our wires are certified by UL, CSA, RoHS, and CE, and we follow ISO 9001:2015 quality management throughout the production process.

Q: What is a PVC insulated nylon sheathed cable, and how is it used?

A: A PVC insulated nylon sheathed cable consists of a copper or aluminum conductor, a PVC inner insulation, and a durable nylon outer sheath. It's commonly used in conduit wiring for power distribution in buildings due to its excellent abrasion resistance and thermal stability.

Q: Is Nylon Sheathed Wire better than standard building wire?

A: Yes. Nylon Sheathed Wire provides superior resistance to chemicals, oils, and moisture compared to standard PVC-only wires. Its nylon coating reduces friction during installation, making it ideal for long conduit runs and dense wiring applications.

Q: Are THHN/THWN-2 cables suitable for outdoor use?

A: Yes. THHN/THWN-2 cables are moisture- and sunlight-resistant, making them safe for outdoor installations in conduit, including underground applications. The THWN-2 rating ensures performance in wet environments up to 90°C.

Q: Can you customize THHN/THWN-2 cable lengths and packaging for large orders?

A: Absolutely. Zhejiang Zhongjing Wire & Cable Co., Ltd offers full customization, including length per reel, color, labeling, and export packaging for bulk or OEM orders of THHN/THWN-2 cables.
