Overview

The nVent F44T172GV is a 72-inch (1829 mm) straight section wireway component designed for efficient cable management in industrial, commercial, and institutional applications. This 4x4x72-inch Type 1 wireway features a galvanized steel construction with a lay-in flat cover, eliminating the need for labor-intensive cable pulling. The open-side design allows wires and cables to be laid directly into the wireway, reducing insulation damage risks associated with traditional pull-through methods. The flat cover mounts flush against walls or ceilings for a clean installation, with keyhole screw slots enabling easy access for inspections or modifications without specialized tools. Available in lengths from 12 to 120 inches, this wireway supports both compact and expansive wiring runs. The absence of knockouts provides a smooth interior surface, minimizing friction and wear on cables during installation or future reconfigurations. Ideal for manufacturing plants, data centers, healthcare facilities, and outdoor utility installations where corrosion resistance and structural integrity are critical.
  • Lay-in Flat-Cover Type 1 Straight Sections are used for enclosing wire and cable in wireway runs
  • Sections are completely open on one side so wires and cables can be laid-in along run
  • Lay-in design eliminates the action of pulling wires or cables, which can result in insulation damage
  • Flat-cover design supports mounting flush with walls or ceilings
  • Covers feature keyhole screw slots which simplify cover installation and removal, and limit risk of losing securing screws
  • Sections available in lengths from 12 to 120 inches, with or without knockouts
  • 4"x4" and 6"x6" Straight Sections re-designed with Snap Connect features for ease-of-installation; sections are backwards compatible if a legacy U-Connector is present
