RoHS Compliant Made in USA

SCOPE

This XLPE-insulated single-conductor wire is direct burial rated and can be used for underground service entrance applications. Other uses include general-purpose wiring for lighting, power distribution, feeders, and branch circuiting, or in specific low-leakage circuits. RWU90 may be installed in raceways, conduit, and cable trays.

CONSTRUCTION

Conductors:

Single conductors are available in solid or stranded, annealed or hardened, and tin coated or uncoated bare copper configurations.

Insulation:

Conductors are insulated with concentrically applied XLPE (crosslinked polyethylene) that is “Oil and Gasoline Resistant I” rated. All black insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant.” All colored insulation is rated “Sunlight Resistant” in sizes #6 AWG and larger, and optional in sizes #8 AWG and smaller.

IDENTIFICATION AND PACKAGING

Print legends on the wire include the manufacturer, conductor size, voltage rating,
UL symbol (if applicable) and type designation. Standard length spools are 500 or
