In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Southwire 198 ft. 4 Stranded Bare Copper Building Wire is a purpose-built indoor power conductor designed for reliable, flexible wiring runs inside walls, through conduit, and to panel feeders. With four 4‑AWG stranded copper conductors and a bare copper design, this cable is engineered for efficient pulling and proven conductivity where insulation isn’t required.

  • Conductor and construction: Copper, 4 strands per conductor, 4 conductors total, bare copper composition (no insulation or jacket) for straightforward terminations and clean routing in conduit systems.
  • Electrical ratings: 600-volt voltage rating, 90°C temperature rating, and an impressive ampacity of 170 A to support indoor feeder or multi‑circuit runs.
  • Compliance and environment: UL Listed for quality and safety; Wet Location Use: Yes, enabling reliable performance in damp indoor environments; Sunlight/UV Resistant: Yes, offering resilience in areas with exposure to light or shade variations.
  • Length and practicality: A long 198 ft spool reduces joins and wasted material, making it well-suited for longer indoor runs where bare copper is permitted and convenient.

Ideal uses and scenarios

  • Indoor feeder runs between panels, subpanels, and distribution points where bare copper conductors are appropriate.
  • Conduit installations in basements, utility rooms, or other indoor spaces with potential moisture exposure.
  • Temporary or permanent power routing in structured indoor electrical layouts that require reliable, flexible copper conductors.

What makes this wire stand out

Unlike insulated options, this bare copper configuration prioritizes ease of pulling and termination in indoor circuits while maintaining robust conductivity and safety standards. The 4‑strand construction adds flexibility, helping you navigate bends and complex routing without compromising performance. UL listing, together with a solid 600V rating and 90°C tolerance, gives you confidence for residential and light commercial wiring projects that demand durable, code-compliant conductors.

Choose Southwire for a dependable indoor building wire that pairs strong electrical characteristics with practical handling benefits. This 198 ft spool of 4‑conductor bare copper is ready to power your next project with clarity, efficiency, and lasting performance.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
