How to Install the Lay-In Wireway

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Lay-In Wireway, including assembly, sealing joints, and making box entries.

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 using screws and nuts as shown in the installation details.

  2. Seal the joints

    For joints between lay-in sections, position the LSGQR fitting, leaving out the top flange screw on the hinge side. Install with a shoulder bolt through the flange and ensure gaskets are visible from above.

  3. Make box entries

    Cut out the enclosure as shown in the installation details. Position the box connector and a gasket inside the enclosure, and place another gasket between the wireway section and the enclosure's outer surface.

  4. Install the sealing plate

    After making box entries, install a 90° angle sealing plate as described in the installation details to ensure a proper seal.
