Overview

The nVent **Wiring Trough NEMA Type 3R (SKU: A88116RT)** is a 14-gauge steel enclosure measuring 8.00 x 8.00 x 116.00 inches, designed for secure wire and cable distribution in outdoor environments with moisture exposure. This NEMA Type 3R-rated trough meets UL 870, CSA C22.2 No. 26, and IEC 60529 (IP32) standards for raintight protection against wind-driven rain, sleet, and snow. Its gray powder-coated finish resists corrosion in coastal or industrial settings. Key features include a drip-shield top, removable screw-secured cover, and embossed mounting holes for easy installation. The trough accommodates a **Padlock Hasp Kit (APLK3R)** for tamper-resistant access, ideal for utility substations or telecom shelters. Constructed from galvanized steel with a grounding strap for UL compliance, it supports efficient cable routing and future expansion. Typical applications include outdoor electrical enclosures, HVAC systems, renewable energy sites, and commercial buildings requiring NEMA-rated protection for junctions and terminations. Installation is straightforward with standard hardware, and the modular design allows customization for project-specific needs.
