6 AWG – XHHW-2

Type XHHW-2/RW90 wires are primarily used in conduit or recognized raceways for services, feeders, and branch circuit wiring as specified in the National Electrical Code or the Canadian Electrical Code. XHHW-2/RW90 conductors may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90ºC. Voltage rating for XHHW-2 conductors is 600 or 1000 volts, or 600 volts for RW90. Cable tray rated for 1/0 AWG and larger available upon request.
