some beach communities here in SoCal. Because of the high humidity (all winter
and summer mornings) they wanted THWN-2 for all conduit runs (as well as PVC
instead of EMT). At first we were charged a premium for THWN-2 compared to
THHN. But then we found a source at All Phase Electrical Supply Burbank CA (a part
of CED) for THWN-2 #10 stranded @ $162.40/k-ft. Brand is <span>En(</span>m?)<span>core</span> Wire. THWN-2 listing is printed on the insulation.</span></font></p>
