How to Install the Lay-In Wireway

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and sealing a Lay-In Wireway for electrical wiring.

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 assembly details.

  2. Seal the joints

    For joints between lay-in sections, position the LSGQR fitting, leaving out the top flange screw on the hinge side. Install with a shoulder bolt and ensure gaskets are visible from above.

  3. Install box entries

    Make a cutout in the control enclosure as specified. Position the box connector and gasket inside the enclosure, then install a sealing plate as described in the instructions.

  4. Adjust telescope fitting

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

  5. Anchor telescope fitting

    If the telescope fitting is used vertically, drill .25 inch diameter holes through the sides and bottom of the straight section and telescope fitting. Install .25-20x.5 screws and secure with cap nuts.

  6. Calibrate and verify installation

    After installation, verify that all joints are sealed properly and that the wireway is securely mounted. Check for grounding continuity if applicable.
