Sell Aluminum Building Wire and Cable in Tennessee
AA-8000 aluminum, from feeders to service cable.
Aluminum pays for the feeders and service runs that would be expensive in copper, and Tennessee contractors use it constantly on multifamily, commercial and utility work. The surplus is just as constant.
We buy AA-8000 series aluminum building wire in XHHW-2, THHN, SER, SEU, URD and USE-2 constructions, 12 AWG through 1000 MCM, in compact and stranded conductor. Full reels, partial reels and cut lengths are all purchased, and we quote aluminum on its own terms rather than as a copper substitute.

Reading the reel
State clearly that the lot is aluminum. Aluminum and copper reels look alike from a distance, and a quote built on the wrong metal wastes everyone's time. A magnet and a jacket print settle it in seconds.
Questions about Aluminum Cable
Is aluminum wire worth selling?
Yes, though at aluminum value rather than copper value. AA-8000 building wire, SER and URD are all purchased.
How can I confirm the metal?
Look for AL or ALUMINUM on the jacket print or the reel tag. Aluminum is also noticeably lighter than a copper reel of the same size.
Do you buy aluminum THHN?
Yes, in 600-volt constructions and the standard sizes from 12 AWG upward.
What about mixed aluminum and copper lots?
They can be quoted together, but list them separately so each is priced against the right metal.
