TRADEPRO TP-WHIP-1/2X6NM Non-Metallic HVAC Whip 1/2" x 6' with #10 THHN Wire OEM Replacement

The TP-WHIP-1/2X6NM is a professional-grade, liquid-tight non-metallic power whip, acting as the critical electrical "umbilical cord" for your outdoor condenser or heat pump. This pre-assembled kit functions as the system's primary power brain, safely carrying high-voltage current from the disconnect box to the unit's contactor. Engineered for durability and speed of install, it features a 6-foot flexible conduit housing three #10 gauge THHN copper conductors. By using a genuine TRADEPRO whip, you ensure your installation meets NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements for outdoor liquid-tight applications, preventing the internal wire degradation and short circuits common with inferior field-assembled wiring.

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip

Take a Picture First — Before pulling the old wires out of the disconnect box, photograph the terminal lugs and the ground bar. Since this whip uses #10 THHN wire, ensure your wire nuts or terminal screws are torqued tightly; a loose connection at 30 amps is the leading cause of "burnt" wires and intermittent unit restarts. During your diagnostic check, make sure the 90-degree connector is installed at the unit side to prevent water from pooling against the electrical knockouts. Always use the included anti-short bushings if required by local code to prevent the conduit edges from rubbing the wire insulation.
