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, Sealing 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 installation details.

  2. Seal the joints

    For joints between lay-in sections, position the LSGQR fitting and install it with a shoulder bolt, ensuring the gaskets are visible from above. Rotate the cam to lock the position.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure for the wireway entry. Position the box connector and gasket inside the enclosure, then install a 90° sealing plate as described in the installation details.

  4. Adjust and anchor 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. Drill holes and install screws to anchor the fitting if necessary.

  5. Calibrate the wireway

    Ensure all sections are level and securely fastened. Check for grounding continuity if the wireway is to be used as ground.
