How to Install the Lay-In Wireway

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

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Drill, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gaskets, Terminal connectors, Nuts, Lockwashers

  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

    After installing the wires, seal each joint between sections using either the LSGQR fitting or the 90° angle sealing plate as described in the installation methods.

  3. Install the box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure for the wireway entry. Position the box connector and gasket inside the enclosure, then install the sealing plate to ensure a secure fit.

  4. Adjust the telescope fitting

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

  5. Anchor the telescope fitting

    If the telescope fitting is used vertically, drill .25 inch diameter holes through the fitting and straight section, then install screws and cap nuts to secure it.

  6. Calibrate the wireway

    Ensure all sections are level and securely fastened. Check for proper grounding continuity if the wireway is used for grounding.
