Both UF and NM have THHN <br>inside of them, and it's the THHN that is inside the exterior J box, as <br>the weatherproof covering has been stripped off. THHN is damp rated, <br>while THWN is wet rated. Most of that wire is actually dual rated <br>THHN/THWN.<br>Seems to be yet another case where solar is held to a different standard <br>than other wiring.<br><br>Ray Walters<br><br><br>On 10/26/2012 12:02 PM, benn kilburn wrote:<br>> Glenn/Jason,<br>> So you wouldn't use romex to feed an exterior outlet on an outside <br>> wall, or to any outside lights???<br>><br>><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br><br>List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org<br><br>Options & settings:<br>http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org<br><br>List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org<br><br>List rules & etiquette:<br>www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm<br><br>Check out participant bios:<br>www.members.re-wrenches.org<br><br></body>
