Do you have a project that requires the use of #6 gauge stranded wire?  Trying to figure out what type of 6 awg wire you need & how much the electrical wire is going to cost?

 If so, Wire & Cable To Go has several different options of #6 gauge wires to choose from!

 1.  New in stock is our **#6 AWG XHHW-2 Aluminum Building Wire** - Available by the foot!

 2. Most popular 6 gauge wire we carry is a building wire called  **[#6 AWG THHN - Stranded Copper Building Wire](http://www.wireandcableyourway.com/6-AWG-THHN-Building-Wire.html).**

 Offered by the foot with a wide selection of colors, THHN comes in a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulation with a nylon jacket.  THHN wire can be used in a conduit but is not rated for direct burial alone. Our 6 awg THHN is also THWN-2 dual rated which means this conductor is appropriate for use in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90° C or not to exceed 75°C in oil or coolants.  It is rated for 55 amps @ 60°C.

 3. If you are looking for #6 awg copper wire that can be directly buried into the ground without a conduit we recommend our **6 awg XLP-USE2-RHH-RHW-2 Building Wire** which is rated for direct burial.

 4. We also carry a few multi-conductor 6 awg wires such as the **#6-3 THHN-PVC Tray Cable with Ground**.  Tray Cables are also rated for direct burial and are sunlight resistant.  These Tray Cables are pretty much multi-conductor THHN wires all under one jacket meant to be buried in the ground without a conduit.
