APPLICATIONS & INFORMATION

• Pro-Line Type CU UF conductors are used for tracer wire applications not exceeding 600 Volts. Tracer wire is used to conductively locate buried utility lines for the gas, water, sewer, telecommunication, and electrical markets.

• When used as Type CU UF, conductor is suitable for use direct burial applications not locations at temperatures not to exceed -20°C or 60°C.

• Considered as the premium grade copper tracer wire, it offers the best protection with a thick PVC insulation.

• Tracer wire is RoHS Compliant and manufacturered in the USA.

STANDARDS & REFERENCES

Pro-Line Type CU UF conductors meets or exceeds all applicable ASTM specifications, UL Standards 493, Federal Specification A-A-59544, and requirements of the National Electrical Code.

• ASTM B-3: Standard Specification for Soft or Annealed Copper Wire
• ASTM B170: Standard Specification for Oxygen-Free Electrolytic Copper

CONSTRUCTION

• Pro-Line Type CU UF copper conductors are annealed copper (soft drawn), insulated with a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation. PVC provides an excellent balance of surface smoothness, processing ease and electrical consistency. PVC provides superior strength against underground elements that help prevent accidental breaks caused buy rocks in shifting soil conditions.

• Available in black, blue, green, orange, purple, red, white, and yellow. Some colors standard, some subject to economic order quantity.
