Overview

The Panduit PWBFESEZ-30 Wire Basket Flat Expansion Splice Bar is a precision-engineered component designed to create seamless transitions in cable management pathways using Panduit Wire Baskets. This splice bar enables horizontal sweeping bends, end-to-end basket width reductions, and accommodates small gaps between joined pathway sections, ensuring continuous and secure cable routing. Compatible with all Panduit Wire Basket sizes from 4" to 36" in width, the PWBFESEZ-30 provides flexibility for installations requiring specific pathway dimensions or space constraints. Each splice bar is finished with a durable black powder coating, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and a professional appearance for long-term performance in industrial and commercial environments. The kit includes 30 pieces per package, streamlining procurement and installation for projects of any scale. For optimal performance, Panduit recommends using 2 flat expansion splices per basket width and bonding pathway sections. The splice bar accommodates a maximum spanned gap equivalent to 1 grid opening, with safe working loads varying by basket type and span. Installation requires a 7/16" nut driver (FR716DR) to tighten Keps nuts to 72 in-lbs, and a separate hardware kit (PWBHK**-L) is required for securing the splice to the basket. Wire baskets are sold separately. This component is essential for maintaining pathway integrity and optimizing cable routing in diverse applications, including manufacturing facilities, data centers, and commercial buildings.

How to Install the PWBFES**-30 Flat Expansion Splice

This guide provides instructions for installing the Panduit PWBFES**-30 Flat Expansion Splice to connect wire basket sections, ensuring a secure and properly torqued connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

7/16" nut driver (FR716DR)

Supplies needed:

PWBHK**-L hardware kit

  1. Position the Expansion Splice

    Place the PWBFES**-30 Flat Expansion Splice to bridge the gap between two wire basket sections. Ensure the maximum spanned gap between the wire baskets is equivalent to one grid opening.

  2. Attach with Hardware Kit

    Use the PWBHK**-L hardware kit (sold separately) to attach the expansion splice to the wire baskets. This typically involves inserting bolts and Keps Nuts through the splice and basket openings.

  3. Tighten Keps Nuts

    Use a 7/16” nut driver (FR716DR) to tighten the Keps Nuts. Torque the nuts to 72 in-lbs to ensure a secure and stable connection between the wire basket sections.
