SELLING INFORMATION
Colours: Standard colours are available.
*Direct buried installations must comply with C.E. Code Rules 12-012 and 4-004.
**For 3-wire 120/240 and 120/208 volt residential services or sub-services, the allowable ampacity for size #6 AWG
shall be 60 amperes.
In this case, the 5% adjustment per Rule 8-106(1) cannot be applied.
# Based on not more than 3 copper conductors in raceway or cable.
