Identification
Recommended Tubing Size for Common Wire Types Based on Location
For Insulated Wire, Non-Insulated Wire, and Insulated Wire with Copper Connectors
Instructions for Tube Selection:
1) Determine location type.
LOCATION:
DRY: A location not normally subject to dampness or wetness. A location classified as dry may be temporarily subject to dampness
or wetness, as in the case of a building under construction.
DAMP: Partially protected locations under canopies, marquees, roofed open porches and like locations, and interior locations subject
to moderate degrees of moisture, such as some basements, barns, and cold-storage warehouses.
WET: Installations underground or in concrete slabs or masonry in direct contact with the earth, and locations subject to saturation with
water or other liquids, such as vehicle washing areas, and locations exposed to weather and unprotected.
2) Match wire size to location type under required application – insulated wire, non-insulated wire, or insulated wire with copper connectors.
3) Read corresponding part number.
4) Part numbers with “-Y” are packages containing 6 inch pieces. Part numbers with “-48” are 48 inch pieces.
5) Part numbers shown below are for black heat shrink.
Sizing information is based on the following wire types: MTW, THHN, THWN, TFN, THW, TW, TF, RHW, RH, RHH and UL 1015.
THHN is the most common wire type.
