Overview

The nVent F126L36 is a robust 36-inch straight section of Type 12 lay-in wireway, meticulously engineered for demanding industrial environments. Manufactured by nVent, a leader in electrical enclosure solutions, this unit (SKU: F126L36) provides superior protection for electrical wiring and cabling against the ingress of dust, dirt, oil, and other contaminants commonly found in manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and heavy industry settings. Its NEMA Type 12 rating signifies its suitability for indoor applications where a higher degree of protection is required than standard Type 1 enclosures. Designed for efficiency and ease of installation, this lay-in wireway features a hinged cover that opens on one side, allowing for the direct placement of wires and cables without the need for pulling. This "lay-in" capability significantly reduces installation time and effort, especially in complex wiring runs. The hinged cover is secured with quick-release latches, providing rapid and convenient access for maintenance, inspection, or modifications. The gasketed design ensures a tight seal, further enhancing its protective capabilities against environmental factors. Constructed from durable steel with a gray finish, the nVent F126L36 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Its dimensions of 12.00 inches in height, 6.00 inches in width, and 36.00 inches in length make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from control panel wiring to power distribution systems. The straight section design allows for seamless integration with other components in a complete wireway system, enabling the creation of continuous, protected pathways for electrical infrastructure. Key benefits and features of the nVent F126L36 include: * **Superior Protection:** NEMA Type 12 rating ensures protection against dust, dirt, and oil. * **Effortless Installation:** Lay-in design and hinged cover allow for quick wire and cable placement. * **Easy Access:** Quick-release latches facilitate rapid opening and closing for maintenance. * **Durable Construction:** Made from high-quality steel for long-lasting performance in harsh environments. * **Versatile Application:** Ideal for industrial control, power, and data cabling. * **System Integration:** Straight section design connects easily with other wireway components. This wireway is a critical component for maintaining the integrity and longevity of electrical systems in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, food and beverage processing, chemical plants, and general industrial automation. By providing a secure and protected conduit, it helps prevent wiring failures, reduces downtime, and ensures operational reliability. The UNSPSC code 39131710 categorizes this product under wire and cable conduit fittings, highlighting its specific role in electrical infrastructure management.

How to Install the Lay-In Wireway

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and sealing a Lay-In Wireway for effective cable management.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Drill, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gaskets, Nuts, Wire connectors

  1. Assemble the wireway sections

    Place a gasket between the flanges of the wireway sections and secure them with screws and nuts as shown in the installation details.

  2. Seal the joints

    After installing the wires, seal each joint between sections using either the LSGQR fitting method or the 90° angle sealing plate method, ensuring the gaskets are properly positioned.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure for the wireway entry, position the box connector and gasket inside, and seal with a 90° angle sealing plate as described.

  4. Adjust telescope fitting

    Assemble the compression ring, gasket, and retainer on the telescope fitting, insert it into the straight section, and adjust to the desired length.

  5. Anchor telescope fitting

    If the telescope fitting is used vertically, drill .25 inch diameter holes through the sides and bottom of the straight section and telescope fitting, then install screws and cap nuts.

  6. Calibrate the installation

    Ensure all connections are tight and verify that the wireway is level and securely mounted to prevent any movement.
