Overview

The nVent F126LRE44 Reducer Lay-In Hinged Cover provides a durable steel transition between 12x6 and 4x4 wireways while maintaining lay-in wire access. Constructed from a 16-gauge steel body and a 12-gauge cover, this reducer cover ensures structural integrity in demanding environments, including control panels, switchgear rooms, and electrical distribution centers. The hinged design allows quick access for wire management and future modifications without removing the cover entirely, reducing installation labor compared to alternative transition methods. Measuring 12.00 x 6.00 x 4.00 inches (305 x 152 x 102 mm), the F126LRE44 integrates seamlessly with nVent wireway systems for conduit size transitions. The gray steel finish resists corrosion and provides EMI shielding for sensitive electronic systems, making it suitable for industrial applications where protection against electromagnetic interference is critical. The cover includes four screws for secure attachment and features a 10.75-inch (273 mm) opening diameter, ensuring ample space for wire routing and access. This reducer cover meets industrial requirements for wireway transitions while maintaining durability and ease of use in high-performance electrical installations.
  • Lay-In Hinged Cover Reducer allows the lay-in feature to be retained when reducing to a smaller wireway size
  • 16-gauge steel body with 12-gauge hinged cover for durability
  • Lay-in wire access maintained during conduit size transitions

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.
