Question: Southwire now has 14/4 NM, blk, red & 2 whites. So far, no one here carries it. Has anyone else seen it out & around? I am quoting a job where it would be a great thing to have. Good for 2 ckts or going over to a dead end 3 way & have a neutral. 2011 code will require a neutral in every switchbox, or being able to add it later.
Yes, I have seen the Southwire 14/4 NM with black, red, and two white conductors. It is a relatively new product, and not all electrical suppliers carry it yet. However, you should be able to order it from any supplier that carries Southwire products.The 14/4 NM with two white conductors is a great option for running two circuits or going over to a dead end 3-way switch and having a neutral. The 2011 NEC requires a neutral in every switchbox, so this product will help you meet that requirement.Here are some of the benefits of using the 14/4 NM with two white conductors: It can be used to run two circuits in one cable. This can save you time and money on labor and materials. It can be used to go over to a dead end 3-way switch and have a neutral. This will allow you to add a neutral to the switchbox later if needed.* It meets the 2011 NEC requirement for a neutral in every switchbox.If you are looking for a way to save time and money on your next electrical project, I recommend using the Southwire 14/4 NM with black, red, and two white conductors.
