Okay, I should be in Home Depot in the next couple days and will report back
on the current price in Bowie, Maryland. hi.
I have a few spools here in the hamshack. It is labeled "14 Black solid
copper E23919G max. 600 volts 500 ft 15 mils. insulation, THWN or THHN or
AWM, VW-1 rated."
The bar code number appears to be 0-32886-22300-6 which I suppose is the
Home Depot stock number.
