Kris-Tech Wire products

XHHW-2 is a single insulated copper conductor with thermoset, cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. It can be solid or stranded, bare or tinned annealed copper, designed to operate at 600 and 1,000 volts in up to 90°C dry and wet environments. XHHW-2 is the ‘upgraded’ version of XHHW, which can operate up to 90°C in dry environments, but only 75°C in wet ones. This product has the same operating properties as Type SIS. Although alternate constructions are available, the most commonly used types for trade purposes are solid or 7-strand bare copper conductor, with the smallest recognized wire size of #14 AWG (other gauges are available).

Open cut excavation, also known as trenching or plowing, is a low-cost method of installing pipelines and other underground utilities. Depending on the conditions and breaking strength needed, Kris-Tech has several open cut tracer wire options available in solid or stranded copper, copper clad steel (CCS), and stainless steel.

Copper tie wire is made using a single soft annealed, medium-hard, or hard temper conductor and insulated using high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE). It is direct burial rated, moisture and abrasion resistant, and suitable for wet and dry locations up to 75°C. Bare copper tie wire is also available. May also be called copper utility wire, utility wire, or copper cable.
