Why Choose Advance Electrical for TW/THW Tracer Wire?


Reliable, Versatile, and Built for Precision Underground Locating

When it comes to general-purpose wiring and underground utility marking, TW/THW tracer wire from Advance Electrical delivers the performance, durability, and reliability professionals depend on. Whether you're wiring a building or laying tracer wire alongside new pipelines, our wire is engineered to support efficient installations and accurate utility locating—keeping your projects compliant and safe.


Versatile Use Across Industries

TW/THW (Tracer Wire) is designed for a wide range of applications, making it a staple in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. It’s used for:

  • General-purpose wiring circuits

  • Machine tool wiring

  • Internal wiring of appliances

  • Underground pipe and utility line tracing

In underground applications, tracer wire is laid alongside pipes, conduits, or other non-metallic lines. This allows utility crews to locate buried infrastructure quickly and safely for future maintenance, excavation, or expansion—reducing risk and saving time.


Durability You Can Depend On

Tracer wire must perform reliably in a variety of environmental conditions. That’s why Advance Electrical provides TW/THW wire that meets the highest standards of material quality and construction:

  • Conductor: Solid or stranded copper per ASTM B-1, B-3, or B-8

  • Insulation: High molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE) per ASTM D-1248

  • Heat & Moisture Resistance: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation provides protection in both dry and wet environments

  • Operating Temperature: Up to 70°C (158°F) in wet or dry conditions, with insulation that resists heat up to 90°C (194°F) in dry areas

  • Voltage Rating: Available in 20 and 30 mil (30–300V) or 45 mil (600V) insulation thickness

Whether it’s heat, moisture, or underground pressure, this wire is built to last and protect.

  • Sizes: Available in 6 through 14 AWG
