Applications:
Type NM-B (Non-metallic sheathed cable) has a broad range of usage as defined in Article 334 of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Type NM-B cable is commonly used for residential fixtures, switches, and loads rated for at least 90ºC. Type NM-B ampacity limitation shall be in accordance with the 60ºC conductor temperature rating, as specified in the National Electrical Code. Type NM-B is rated for 600 volts for both exposed and concealed work in normally dry locations. Type NM-B may be installed or fished in air voids and joints and in masonry block or tile walls where such walls are not exposed to, nor subject to, excessive moisture or dampness.
Standards:
Underwriters Laboratories Standards UL-83, UL-719
Federal Specification A-A-59544
ASTM-B3 and B8
ARRA 2009; Section 1605 "Buy American" Compliant
CONSTRUCTION:
Conductors:
Solid 14-10 AWG soft, uncoated copper, per ASTM-B3
Stranded 8 AWG conductor and larger uncoated, copper ASTM-B8
Insulation:
Color-coded Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) compound meeting the required thickness of Type THHN with a heat-stabilized Nylon jacket rated for 90°C in dry locations.
Grounding Conductor:
Soft, uncoated copper per ASTM-B3 and/or ASTM-B8
Jacket:
A 30-mil, color-coded, PVC jacket is applied over the completed assembly as follows:
14 AWG White I 12 AWG Yellow I 10 AWG Orange I 8 AWG Black I 6 AWG Black
Assembly:
2-conductor construction has the insulated conductors laid parallel with a bare copper ground wire wrapped in paper and laid parallel between the insulated conductors. The entire assembly is wrapped with a paper separator before applying the PVC outer jacket. SuperSlick Elite is available in sizes: 14 AWG, 12 AWG, 10 AWG constructions. 3 and 4 conductor constructions may have the insulated conductors laid parallel or twisted together before applying the PVC outer jacket.
