I found similar to Phil, but all the wire had thwn-2 on the spool label but not on the wire.  
Execpt for pink it did not have thwn-2 on the spool lable.

Marco,


I found the same situation as what David mentions -- when we were doing a high profile job that was going to be inspected by a certain someone from Las Cruces, all the wire available from local suppliers was only physically marked as THHN / THWN, but when we dug a little deeper and found the actual spec sheets from the manufacturer we were able to determine that the wire actually was rated as THWN-2 (plus a whole alphabet soup worth of additional listings), although it wasn't marked as such.  Have the vendor pull up the spec sheet on the wire brands they typically carry, and keep a couple copies in your "for the inspector" file.

Marco,

The #10 THWN wire that your local suppliers carry may be cross-listed as THWN-2. My understanding is that it is not uncommon for smaller gauge wire to carry more listings than are printed on its insulation. (If that’s not true, we’ll find out shortly from someone on the list.) If your local supplier can’t confirm this cross-listing for you, I’d try tracing back to ask their supplier or the manufacturer.

Finding that wire in these here parts is pretty much impossible.
 
Can any of my CA. brethren/sistren provide me any leads on wholesalers in either northern or southern CA. that carry #10 THWN-2 wire?
 
Thanks,
marco
