I found similar to Phil, but all the wire had thwn-2 on the spool label but not on the wire. Execpt for pink it did not have thwn-2 on the spool lable. Darryl

Have the vendor pull up the spec sheet on the wire brands they typically carry, and keep a couple copies in your "for the inspector" file.

My understanding is that it is not uncommon for smaller gauge wire to carry more listings than are printed on its insulation. (If that’s not true, we’ll find out shortly from someone on the list.) If your local supplier can’t confirm this cross-listing for you, I’d try tracing back to ask their supplier or the manufacturer.

Can any of my CA. brethren/sistren provide me any leads on wholesalers in either northern or southern CA. that carry #10 THWN-2 wire?
