EMT - UL Heads Up [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

XHHW-2 is a conduit wire. Occasionally USE-2 is also labeled XHHW-2 so that
it can be run in conduit as well. The reason LA is suggesting XHHW-2 is that
THWN-2 was hard to find about a year or so ago. Now, depending on the
supplier, it can be found a Home Depot in sizes down to 14 AWG.

Bill.

XHHW Should be marked "sunlight resistant" or similar to be used outside
of conduit correct?
USE has similar qualities but is listed for direct sun exposure. Some
XHHW is also marked USE.

"... so what about using USE wire in EMT?  They can't argue about the
wire getting wet??  ( or for that matter the THWN)"

Most inspectors we deal with (SF bay area) require all conductors in
outdoor EMT to be 90 degree C and wet rated.  This means USE-2 or
THWN-2.
