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, Wrench, Drill

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Gaskets, 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 installation details.

  2. Seal the joints

    For joints between lay-in sections, position the LSGQR fitting and install it with a shoulder bolt, ensuring gaskets are visible on both sides. 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° angle sealing plate to secure the connection.

  4. Adjust telescope fitting

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

  5. Anchor the telescope fitting

    Drill .25 inch diameter holes through the sides of the straight section and telescope fitting. Install .25−20x.5 screws through the holes from the outside and secure with cap nuts and lockwashers.

  6. Calibrate the wireway

    Ensure all sections are level and securely fastened. Verify that the wireway is properly grounded if used for grounding continuity.
