Aluminum XHHW/XHHW-2 2 AWG Wire suitable for underground conduit

Our 2 AWG AA8000 Aluminum XHHW-2 Wire is a single-conductor building wire constructed with high-purity compact stranded AA8000 aluminum alloy, paired with heat-resistant XLPE insulation rated 600V and 90°C for both dry and damp underground environments. We supply complete official reference charts that record accurate wire diameter and outer diameter (OD) values, which greatly help electricians and engineers calculate conduit fill ratios, design wiring layouts and estimate project materials in advance. With excellent anti-aging, sun-proof and moisture-proof performance, this aluminum XHHW-2 wire is specially engineered for underground conduit burial while also compatible with cable trays and service feeder wiring. Strict dimensional control guarantees uniform OD for every batch, eliminating installation mismatches and improving construction efficiency for commercial, industrial and solar power projects.

Why Use AA8000 Aluminum Building Wire

Luis Fernando Pérez - Venezuela - Office Building Project

The wires are of very good quality. The cables need to pass through long pipes and corners, and the cables are very flexible. We also ordered fire-resistant wires, which have been tested by a testing agency and found to be without problems.

How to Choose Aluminum XHHW-2 Wire Size

Thomas Baker - USA - Factory construction

GERITEL WIRE's engineering team was very professional. They offered suggestions based on our cable requirements, and we found more suitable cable models. Subsequent operation has been stable without any problems.

How to Install Aluminum XHHW-2 Wire in Conduit

Ricardo José Herrera - Dominican - Hotel Project

Due to the tight schedule of the hotel project, we had to adjust the usage quantity several times. GERITEL WIRE supplier was very flexible in terms of delivery and packaging, with fast delivery times. The wire reels were clearly labeled, making on-site counting and distribution very convenient.

What after-sales services do you provide?

Our factory provides return and exchange services. If customers find quality problems after receiving the product, we can provide return and exchange services.

What is your quality assurance process?

We will select and inspect the raw material and conduct strict quality inspections on each batch of raw materials. During the production process, the factory usually uses automated equipment and online detection systems for real-time monitoring. For example, the diameter of the copper wire, the thickness of the insulation material, and the twisting process during the wire drawing process all need to be precisely controlled. At the same time, we regularly take a certain number of wire and cable samples for inspection. These inspections include, but are not limited to, tests such as size, insulation resistance, conductivity, and mechanical strength. Each batch of wires and cables produced will be fully tested before leaving the factory. If quality problems are found in the product testing, the factory will take "traceback" measures to find the root cause of the problem and correct possible deviations in the production process. After production is completed, all wire and cable products will undergo a final quality inspection. In the packaging stage, the wires and cables will be properly packaged according to the specifications to ensure that they are not damaged during transportation. In addition, we have a professional after-sales team to respond to customer feedback and complaints promptly to ensure that problems encountered by users during use are solved promptly. In addition, the factory will regularly visit customers to collect product usage feedback and further improve product quality.
