Depending upon the product application, allowable temperatures are as follows: • THHN or T90 Nylon- Dry locations not to exceed 90° C • THWN-2- Wet or dry locations not to exceed 90° C or locations not to exceed 75° C when exposed to oil • THWN- Wet locations not to exceed 75° C or dry locations not to exceed 90° C or locations not to exceed 75° C when exposed to oil https://www.mysouthwire.com/medias/sys_master/product-specifications/product-specifications/h08/h62/8854083633182.pdf note : THHN wire is allowed for use in dry and damp locations only. ...
