Send the printed legend, conductor material and size, voltage class and the footage on the reel tag. If the tag is gone, say so — photographs of the jacket print usually resolve it.

01
RHW and RHH wire we review
What this family covers and what identifies it.
RHW is a thermoset-insulated wire rated 75°C in wet and dry locations; RHW-2 raises that to 90°C. RHH is the high-heat dry-location version. Constructions appear in 600 V and 2 kV, in copper and aluminium.
Texas surplus turns up in plant upgrades and older installations, frequently on reels that have been in stores for years and remain perfectly usable.

Specification checklist
The facts that decide how a lot is evaluated.
- Voltage600 V and 2 kV.
- RatingsRHW 75°C wet or dry; RHW-2 90°C wet or dry; RHH 90°C dry.
- Sizes14 AWG through 1000 kcmil, copper and aluminium.
Send what the reel says. A printed legend and a reel tag are stronger evidence than a description written from memory. If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown rather than guessing.
03
Constructions we buy
Reviewed separately, because they are valued separately.
Older stores stock
RHH and RHW reels from long-term plant stores, often still tagged.
04
How a lot is evaluated
Construction, condition, documentation, quantity and logistics.
Send the print, size, metal and footage. Thermoset insulation does not chalk like nylon-jacketed wire, so older reels often present well and that is worth photographing.
The wet-location rating is the commercial point. RHW-2 in good condition serves underground and wet applications, which widens the market compared with dry-only constructions.
Safety first. Never cut, strip, disconnect or move energised cable to prepare a sale. De-energising and proving dead is work for qualified personnel under the site's electrical safety programme.

RHW and RHH wire questions
Answered for sellers, not for search engines.
Is RHW the same as XHHW?
Both are thermoset, but the compounds and ratings differ. The print decides, and the ratings are not interchangeable.
Do you buy 2 kV RHW?
Yes. The higher voltage class narrows the market but raises the value per foot.
Can old rubber-insulated wire still be sold?
Often yes, if the insulation is intact and the print is legible.
