1 and 3(C) Wet Locations. Insulated conductors and cables used
in wet locations shall comply with one of the following:
(1) Be moisture-impervious metal-sheathed
(2) Be types MTW, RHW, RHW-2, TW, THW, THW-2,
THHW, THWN, THWN-2, XHHW, XHHW-2, ZW

You only need to comply with just one.
Notice in the picture is has "Oil resistant" on the insulation.
Although THW is accepted, would not the insulation also show "moisture resistant"?

Crap,, I missed that.:jester:You only need to comply with just one.
I got a service later this week and was wanting to use this up. Found a lot of it in the material trailer.
We normally used copper for everything. I am using AL now for services.
Thanks. My DA miss read.

I don't get it. It's THW, why not?
The W in THW means it is listed for wet locations. Do you even electric, bro?
I have been so used to just getting THHN-2 copper.I don't get it. It's THW, why not?
I saw this in the trailer and was not sure.
I know now.:thumbsup:
I do, I don't know everything though.The W in THW means it is listed for wet locations. Do you even electric, bro?
Somewhere I thought that the conductors needed to be sun light resistance also for service risers.
You'll also notice that the THHN you use is cross-listed as THWN, as the W again notates listed for wet locations. If it was just THHN, it would be a code violation to install it in a wet location.I have been so used to just getting THHN-2 copper.

I saw once a table that listed what the lettering meant. I thought it was in the NEC is where I saw it. I tried to find it again briefly and gave up.You'll also notice that the THHN you use is cross-listed as THWN, as the W again notates listed for wet locations.

The only one I can remember it MTW.
Even within a raceway?Somewhere I thought that the conductors needed to be sun light resistance also for service risers.
It shows you are a J-man. You have to admit you ask some pretty basic questions sometimes. Did you lie on your personal info?
