    8ga THHN Wire

    Looking for 200' or more lengths of #8 THHN building wire in red and black.

    Or two of each color 500' spools.

    Long shot, I know. But hey, can't hurt to ask.

    (*mumbles "wtf is THHN wire?" *goggles it. Oh, I think that's exactly what I need to extend the wiring for my trailer jack. Sweet.)

    I’ve been saving a set of wire for a 100 amp, 220 volt, 3-wire service (1-1/4” conduit.) It would be (3) #3 and (1) #6. Not sure how long it is, if you’re interested I can roll it out and measure.

    Appreciate it, but that would be overkill for my needs. I need 4 pairs of #8 in approx 200' lengths.

    overkill is ok when it comes to wire size, specially on long runs

    Nassau National Cable has 500ft spools for $285. 5% off for orders over $750 and free shipping over $1K would put you at $1083 for 2000ft (just over $0.54/ft).

    Saw that, but just confirmed with the electrician pulling my permit that it can be any color. As long as I color code it at the ends with tape, I'm good.

    So, $208/500ft.
