#2 Copper UF. Scrap it or use it?

[fastline]

I've had spools of this #2 Copper for years, mainly because it is current limited due to insulation and I would never direct bury a #2 cable. I am just trying to reason with myself, but I guess I could try to sell it? Maybe that would make me feel better? I just prefer to use Aluminum 90c wire!

Okay, I'll be a nice guy and take it off your hands.

I would maybe keep some around for 100 amp subpanels. Other than than not sure what I would ever use it for.

If you don't see yourself using it all in 1 year then get rid of it and if you need DB wire get PVC jacketed aluminum mc and save yourself from the gofers and 60° ampacity.

You mention spools, how many and how long? Maybe save one and scrap the rest. Not sure what you used it for in the past but scrap copper price is up though unstripped copper in your case may not give you a good return do the the added weight of the insulation.

Doesn't seem like a commonly used wiring method.
