"Engineered for budget-friendly power distribution and smooth conduit pulls, 4 AWG Aluminum XHHW-2 / RW90 Building Wire features compact-stranded AA-8000 aluminum alloy wrapped in a slick, low-friction XLPE jacket. Dual-rated for 600V/1000V systems and approved for wet or dry locations up to 90°C, it delivers superior cost and weight savings over copper for feeder runs, branch circuits, subpanels, and raceway applications."
Slick, Low-Friction XLPE Insulation: Features an advanced "slippery" outer compound that glides through conduit bends effortlessly without pulling lubricant or insulation damage.
AA-8000 Series Compact Aluminum: Built with Class B compact-stranded AA-8000 series aluminum alloy, reducing wire diameter to maximize conduit fill capacity.
Dual Voltage Rated (600V / 1000V): Rated for standard 600V systems as well as higher-voltage 1000V commercial and solar installations.
Cost-Effective Efficiency: Provides reliable conductivity with significant weight savings and lower material costs compared to equivalent copper conductors.
Phase Color Selection: Offered in Black, Red, White, Green, Blue, Orange, Brown, Yellow, Gray, and Purple for instant phase identification (check the dropdown for stock).
Cut-to-Length or Bulk Spools: Order custom lengths cut by the foot to minimize job-site scrap, or purchase bulk spools for high-volume commercial runs.

#4 AWG Aluminum XHHW-2 is widely used for:
Per Table 310.16 of the National Electrical Code (NEC):
Yes! When landed on dual-rated (AL9CU) lugs rated for 75°C equipment terminations, #4 AWG Aluminum XHHW-2 is rated for 65 Amps, making it more than sufficient for a 60 Amp feeder circuit under standard NEC guidelines.
Note: Always consult with a licensed electrician and check your local building codes to verify specific sizing, derating, and installation requirements for your project.
While both are popular single-conductor building wires used in conduit, key differences include:
