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, Seal plates

  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 assembly 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 and ensure gaskets are visible from above.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure as specified, position the box connector and gasket inside, and install a 90° angle sealing plate to secure the connection.

  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, ensuring the gasket is properly seated.

  5. Anchor the telescope fitting

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