F22T1120GVWK

The nVent **Lay-in Flat-Cover Type 1 Straight Section (SKU: F22T1120GVWK)** is a premium galvanized steel wireway component engineered for durable, efficient cable management in commercial, industrial, and institutional applications. Designed for flush mounting against walls or ceilings, this 120-inch section provides a secure, open-sided enclosure that eliminates the need for wire pulling—reducing the risk of insulation damage common in traditional pull-through systems. The flat cover design ensures a clean, professional finish while keyhole screw slots enable quick and tool-free access for maintenance or reconfiguration. This **Type 1** wireway section features **2.5 x 2.5-inch dimensions** with integrated knockouts (KOs) for flexible cable entry and exit points, accommodating a wide range of wiring configurations. Constructed from **hot-dip galvanized steel**, it delivers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor installations, damp environments, or areas exposed to chemicals and abrasive conditions. The galvanization process ensures long-term durability, reducing lifecycle costs compared to non-coated alternatives. **Key Applications & Industries:** Wireway systems like this nVent section are critical in environments where organized, accessible cable routing is essential. Typical applications include: - **Commercial buildings:** Office complexes, retail spaces, and data centers requiring structured wiring for power distribution, lighting controls, and IT infrastructure. - **Industrial facilities:** Manufacturing plants, warehouses, and processing centers where robust cable management supports machinery operation, automation systems, and safety compliance. - **Institutional settings:** Schools, hospitals, and government buildings where fire-rated or code-compliant wiring solutions are mandated. - **Outdoor installations:** Parking structures, utility corridors, and telecom enclosures where exposure to moisture, UV, or temperature fluctuations demands corrosion-resistant materials. **Installation & Design Considerations:** Professionals select **Type 1 wireway sections** for their ease of installation and adaptability. The open-sided design allows wires to be laid in place without threading, simplifying initial setup and future modifications. Flush mounting ensures a low-profile installation, ideal for tight spaces or aesthetic-sensitive areas. The **keyhole slots** on the flat cover enable secure attachment while allowing for quick removal during inspections or upgrades. For outdoor or high-corrosion-risk environments, the galvanized finish provides a protective barrier that exceeds standard painted or untreated steel options. **Why Choose nVent?** As a trusted leader in electrical and thermal management solutions, nVent delivers products engineered for performance and reliability.
