[TowerTalk] Fwd: UV and WX deterioration of THHN insulation, and effects at R

[Hans Hammarquist]

Depending on what insulator it might range from a year for PVC to many, maybe 10 - 20 years for some of the better once (like TEFLON).

The stripping methods have been described in a couple of prior postings. I don't consider them great.

I knew this question was coming. C'mon Rob.
Do you want it in weeks, days, months ? :-)
Yes, the insulation deteriorates after it has been up for awhile.............

I am interested in the stripping method when you guys can present it.

I wouldn't call it "some kind of stake" as much as simple
doubt
because what you assert is, to be charitable, unsupported
by
observation.

How long is "a long time?"
