Re: [RE-wrenches] USE-2 in white?

[Allan Sindelar]

It's been years since we ordered it, but we got black, red and white from Anixter, 1-800-538-5431. Our rep Johnny X2832. The white fades in our intense sun, but is still adequately gray/white after 15 years.

White in the same installation faded to...white but I still am nervous about using colors after that conversation.  The latest batch that I bought is straight black; I believe the black stuff contains carbon black which is the "secret sauce" for UV resistance.  Further input from the List would be appreciated.  Jolliness, Mick Abraham, Proprietor www.abrahamsolar.com Voice: 970-731-4675 On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 10:32 AM, EcoSolar - Eric Andrews <e...@ecosolarnow.com> wrote: YES.  We get ours from PLATT Electric.  Most electric supply houses should have this wire.  It is definitely nice for your DC source circuits.   Eric R.
