Poor memory about luminaires taps

Should be able to order from your local supply house. I've seen it listed online at length up to 1000' but that listing showed it out of stock. Biggest issue I could see with 1000' rolls is the bulk size would make it difficult to work with.

I don't know they have it in 3/8 at my suppliers but they do have several size and types of flex on large reels (probably 1000 foot for 1/2 and 3/4 sizes) and that is what they typically cut off of when they sell it by the foot.

Platt electric supply. This is one of those items home Depot has a horrible price on. This was recent just a few weeks ago.they were the cheapest

.

I saw but for some reason they are marked up pretty high on other stuff.

I have spools of tffn

Just curious. What guage. Years ago we would order as many color of #16 stranded wire in 500' spools as they supply house could supply. Always put #16 stranded THHN or THWN out of habit but always came in marked TFFN or dual rated TFFN & something else. Only used it for controls, indicating 6 watt lamps & solenoids.For some reason all 6 sparkies used #14 wire inside 4 & 8' fluorescent luminares to lengthen ballast or supply wires.

I use left-over ballast wire that I save for that.

HD has horrible prices on 99% of their electrical items.

I just looked online at 1 of my suppliers and they are at $6.88 for 6' 18/3 and $7.34 for 6' 18/4 whips. I don't know if I would get any better price when submitting order but imagine it would not be much less.
